Learning to swim all by urself?

Question

i want to learn how to swim but i can't find anyone who teaches over here

how can i learn to swim by myself? do i need someone to help me, cuz i was on a cruise like 2 weeks ago and a guy was teaching his son how to swim. he was putting his hands underneath him so the kid was floating

Answer 1

You don't necessarily need a teacher or anyone to hold you up to learn to swim. But you should have someone around just in case you get a cramp or something.It is never wise to swim alone even if you are an experienced swimmer.

Answer 2

After all these 36 yrs, I have to say it is best to learn with an instructor.  You will not be able to see your problems and thus can not correct them.   You need to learn balance and breathing best done with an instructor.  I do not know where you are, but, maybe I should find out seeing as that this is what I do for a living....LOL  (Opportunity)  Anyway, I can help you as best as I can from afar but truth is hands on is best.  If you want some help, seek me here.  Keep looking and go for it!
