Hang On - What Will I Learn?

Before you start your swimming journey, I'll kick you off with the basics. The essential parts you will learn first are:

• Floating
• Breathing
• Submerging

These will all be taught to you slowly, gradually and at your pace and will help you progress to becoming relaxed and at ease in the water.

There are four basic swimming strokes to learn: Freestyle (or Front Crawl), Backstroke, Breaststroke, and Butterfly. As an adult learning to swim, you will probably be most comfortable learning the breaststroke first. Front crawl and backstroke can come next, and as for butterfly stroke, you might want to save that one for later when you're competent with the others.

I have several handy resources available that you can download and look at right from your screens. I have several comprehensive ebooks, my most famous being the Learn to Swim for Beginners PDF. This covers everything from floating, gliding, breathing and submerging, plus all the drills you need to master all four basic swimming strokes.

Am I Too Old To Learn To Swim?

"Can adults learn to swim?" Absolutely! It doesn't matter what age, shape or size you are. Anyone can learn to swim. If you have a medical condition, talk to your doctor or physician, who may advise swimming as a beneficial addition to your health regimen. Remember to get cleared by healthcare professionals before diving in, especially if you have never tried swimming.

And here's the great thing – you don't have to do it alone. You will meet many folks in your learn-to-swim classes at the same starting point. There's real value in those shared experiences as you can encourage each other and celebrate each milestone together.

Once you've decided to start, the first thing to tackle might be a fear of the water. During your learn-to-swim classes, you'll learn techniques to help you feel safer and more comfortable in the water, which will help you grow your confidence.

Many Americans have had bad experiences in and around the swimming pool. This time, it's going to be different. All swimming instructors are well-practised in the guiding principles of patience, perseverance, and positive reinforcement. Hence, the 'Teach America to Swim' campaign aims to tackle any previous bad experiences.

Adults learning to swim may initially feel self-conscious, apprehensive or even embarrassed. You will be encouraged to take it at your own pace from day one and not be pushed into anything you are uncomfortable with. Forget about perceived judgment; everyone's there to learn and support one another.

Swimming is one of the best ways to keep your body in tip-top shape. As a low-impact exercise, it puts minimal stress on the joints while giving your body a comprehensive workout. You'll reap many health benefits, from strengthening the muscles and improving your cardiovascular fitness and stamina to lowering blood pressure and the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
