Hello all of you,
this is my first post here and I wanted some help. The problem is that I can't properly swim the front crawl. I can just a little bit, but I get tired too quickly, I move really slow and I don't know how to properly breathe during front crawl.
But I can swim the back crawl good enough in my opinion and I prefer the back crawl to front crawl much more. But it seems to me that only women swim the back crawl (I'm a 16-year old boy). And is it a shame that I can only swim the back crawl and not front crawl. And because I can't swim the front crawl, I don't want to go to the beach in summer to swim and don't want to go to the swimming pools in winter. My mother always kinda bullies me if I say that I don't want to go to the beach or swimming pools by saying that I can't swim.

I remember I used to think this way about golf getting nervous on the first tee because people were watching. Eventually I learned that most of those people sucked worse than me.
So basically I just have to get there and try it myself. I once though of asking help of the other guys there who were quite good at swimming the fornt crawl.

When I was at the pool the other day, I saw two local team swimmers taking the time to give a few pointers to a woman who asked for some help. It was really nice of them. Most people are glad to help out...just don't become one of those folks who asks for a few pointers and then bends their ears for the next hour :blah: :D

Question is, would those same swimmers take time if a guy asked for help. :angel:

:D Well, in this case, it was two female swimmers helping another female. That being said, most of the people at my pool are pretty friendly, give or take the couple who like to do crunches on the pool deck in an effort to impress the life guards. They usually don't like to be bothered by lesser beings.:bow:

True swim-crunchers do their crunches *in* the pool. Yes, I have seen this.
