Is Swimming easy or hard to learn?

Question

I am going for my first lesson tomorrow.

Answer 1

Most people without phobia find it easy. Every human body is capable of floating and it takes little effort to move oneself thru' the water. But a good coach and a small group make learning very much easier. Dont worry, it is not as dreadful as sky-diving or bungee-jumping! Cheers!

Answer 2

It depends. Simple swimming is easy, as your body can naturally float. Just try not to worry about drowning. Drowning is not as common as you think, and if you have an instructor you should be fine. Sporty swimming is harder, and requires a lot of endurance and strength.

Answer 3

Swimming is easy. Swimming competetively is hard. Just don't panic and don't flail. Keep your mouth shut and your breath in. If someone jumps in to save you, DON'T FREAK OUT OR HIT THEM! The biggest problem is people freaking out. If you have a problem, raise your hand up as far as you can above water and wave or signal, then wait. Relax.

Now, don't let all this scare you. Don't think that you're gonna have to be saved. I have never seen anyone need to be rescued. Just chill and take it easy. If you are fat... it is sssoooooooo easy. I'm fat and I just bob like a freaking buoy.

Answer 4

I remember my first lesson! Lol, it's so easy you just seriously have to not be scared to go under, if you panic, it can only go downhill from there. Just know that noone's gonna let you drown!
