I thought I was the only adult in the whole world that can't swim!! this despite having tried 3 times and living in a house with a pool, lol.
I really hope you succeed. Fingers crossed.
You're not the only adult!! There are classes full of adults taking lessons. I started in July or maybe August and so far I can only float on my face and back. Any movement and I sink, but whatever, I think I am improving lol. I was tired of being scared of water. Last summer we went to Barcelona and my husband booked a hotel with a pool, but the pool was 6 feet deep! My kids couldn't swim either so it was terrifying. We only spent 5 mins at the pool, dipping our feet. Then in May we went to Jamaica and everyone was swimming in the ocean, so that was the last straw and I decided we were going to learn how to swim. My kids started at the same time and they can swim, float, thread water, etc...I'm a few classes behind but still moving forward lol (very slowly). Perhaps try again? My instructor told me I need to practice each skill every day and keep at it until I get it. It's frustrating but I'm trying to be patient. So annoying when I see others getting it so quickly. But we all do things at our own pace (just wish mine was a tiny bit faster).
