i love also to swim but i dont know how to swim, i have some difficulties to my hands and my toes in order to learn for swimming. i guess i need a lot of learnings from my son so that i could swim when we have an outing on the beach or swimming pool resorts.

Only to save my life. I took lessons for a short time when I was a kid, and got to the second level. I learned a really sloppy Australian crawl, just well enough to move forward in the water and be able to see where I was going. I never even developed the breathing rhythm; rather than cocking my head to the side to take a breath, I simply keep my head up.
I also learned the back crawl and dog paddle. I never mastered the back crawl, but I can do it better than the front crawl, and for much longer. It saved my life not long after I'd stopped taking lessons. Once my parents took me to a river somewhere. I don't know where the place was, but it had a sandy beach, and a fairly high cliff (I think it was 30-40 feet above the water) that people jumped off of.
My parents were on a blanket on the beach, and I was playing around in the water until I could no longer touch bottom with my toes. As I watched my parents drifting farther away, I realized I was caught in a current! I tried the front crawl, and it did me no good; I was still being carried away (while my parents sat there and stared). I turned over and started doing the back crawl, periodically checking to see if I could touch bottom. When at last my feet touched bottom, I stood up. There were my parents, still sitting on the blanket.

I love swimming... I love water in general... I've always gone to the beach on my vacations... In most cases, when I go on a vacation, I'd only pick a hotel with either indoor or outdoor, doesn't really matter either way, swimming pool... I haven't really taken a vacation this year but the frist week of January, I'm going on a 5 day vacation... I haven't really decided where I'm going, I really should start working on that, but I'm making sure where ever I go, it should have an indoor pool...
