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.

I learned at a summer camp my parents sent me to when I was about 10 or 11. The swimming instructor was a college student who was a good swimmer but she didn't really know how to teach kids and she didn't have much patience. I hated taking lessons. (When kids had trouble picking up skills, she would get frustrated, yell a lot and -- literally -- push us into the water.) So I learned to swim, but it was a few years until I enjoyed it. Now I can't live without it :) .
