Is there such a thing as adult swimming classes?

Question

I know this sounds lame, but as a child my Mother was very over protective. She has a fear of water and part of that fear is in me today. I can float,and swim, my problem is the fear of water over my head. I really want to get over this, because I love the water. Other than classes, any other ideas?

Answer 1

Some pools and YWCA YMCA  offer private and adult classes

Answer 2

Grand pa got it right. Sometimes at local pools they have aquaerobics for older people, that is good coz u wont get ur head under the water

Answer 3

Don't fear the water but, respect it. Get in a friends pool, put on a nose plug, ear plugs, and those swim goggles, and just dunk yourself for a second under water in 3 feet of water. In no time you'll be snorkeling along the top, it really is fun to swim underwater, like floating in space (I guess).

Answer 4

check your local baths my nan learn't to swim at the age of 50 ..
