I first learn to swim with my father at the mobile home park pool as a 7 year old. Then I took lessions in the summer time at the community pool in our area thru Red Cross. I went to a swim school to learn butterfly.

My little brother taught me (all wrong, of course - heads up free) when I was 16.
It took me a whole year to learn the legal kick in breaststroke and I expect to be a backstroker any year now..........
Meanwhile, I had broken my first Canadian record within seven months of learning - butterfly, of course. My coach and I learned it together, out of a magazine called "The Swimming Times".
I guess I'm a "natural" flyer, but none of the others are easy.
I could be a distance freestyler, but I'm way too lazy to train for that........... ;)
