In what age you are when you know how to swim?
do experience the shrinking portion before you succeed your fist laps?
I know how to swim when i was 8yrs old with a help of no one,at the back of our house there is a river so after my class i just go there and practice swimming but the sad part is before i manage to swim i just experience to drink a bunch of water but still i didn't give up my dream and the worst part is i got drown and there is no one to help...huhuhu
But i survive and after that incident i find out that i can manage to swim.
how about you can you tell me the story of your fist swimming lesson?

heheheh..just try and try practicing and dont be afraid to water let the water and your body be one, but sometimes older person is hard to learn..don't get me wrong it because when were just i child all we have in mind is to learn something new but when we get older we already know how to refuse.
But dont lose hope as long as we live there is always a chance,knowing how to swim is the best you can have the chance to explore the beauty of water as long as your not afraid and know how to swim..
happy mylotting

I went to an infant school with an outdoor swimming pool. The climate in my home country is such that it was only warm enough to swim in the summer term. I had swimming lessons but these didn't teach me to swim. I was a bit afraid of the water because it was so cold very probably. When I was about ten years old I was on vacation at a seaside resort and my sister and I were bathing in the sea. I got a bit out of my depth and then all of a sudden I began swimming. I guess that I had finally got my confidence. I was so delighted and my parents were incredibly pleased with me. I am glad that I did learn to swim.
