Hi,
I'm scrabblegirl and new to the forum. I've been exploring the site and seem like a great place to learn about the sport.
When I turned 40 back in April, I promised myself that I would try to achieve one of my goals in life and that is to learn how to swim. I'm not afraid of going underwater but I can't seem to relax enough to float (prone or supine). I've finally stopped using one hand to hold onto the wall and have begun to use a kick board. But now I'm afraid to let go of the board. I'm going to take lessons. Which type of lessons would be the best route to take -private or group? Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance for the responses. :)
Just a little update. I've started my private swimming lessons with a great instructor. We get along great and she has great patience. So far I've learned the *** stroke, swimming with my head above water and treading. I've finally overcame my fear of floating in the prone position. But, the floating on the back is taking a little longer. It's a little scary. But, I'm determined to conquer the fear.
