I know an excellent trainer in Vancouver.  No wait, I just remembered he drowned last year trying to save an air mattress at the shallow end of the pool. I'm really Sorry.

Try it - and be sure to have an open mind and be brave - make sure your Dad helps you find a patient instructor, and most importantly, is not one of your parents.  It is truly amazing how well people do in swimming with instructors who do not have a close relationship with them.  If you can afford it, try a couple private lessons.  Swimming, or just being comforatble in the water, is truly enjoyable, and it could save your life.

check with your local YMCA or even the collage campus both usually have swim instructors. another possibility is any lifeguard service in your area. just remember Private instructor $$$ due to liability. you could also try teaching yourself.\nbut also remember at that age seeing others their age do something helps them overcome some of there own fears.

You should find an American Red Cross Learn to Swim Program. Most local pools and athletic clubs offers swim lessons to adults and children. Ask if their instructors are American Red Cross certified. That means they are proficient in each skill and stroke, as well as have been trained in how to teach swim lessons to all ages.

Try your local YMCA.  Ours offers classes for groups or just for couples and it's pretty reasonably priced.

You can get some great videos/dvds from USA Swimming or Swimming World magazine's website.  My two personal favorites (as a swim coach) are the GoSwim series and the "Eddie Reese on ..." series.  I have included links below.

Great decision!\n\nThere are many places to get certified in San Francisco, but I favor Tom Yang at California Dive Center in San Bruno.\n\nSincere and dedicated, Tom makes diving enjoyable.  He pays attention to his students, and makes sure that you are safe and having a good time.  Very patient.  Tom gets a lot of recommendations, a significant portion of his class is referrals.\n\nWhen we moved back to the Bay Area, I called three instructors and decided that Tom was the best for us.  My recommendation would be to do the same.  Get at least two more recommmendations and talk to each of them.\n\nDiving is a lot of fun, and your dive instruction is an important part.  There are a lot of instructors, each with his/her unique style.  Having an instructor that you get along with and has a teaching style that you like will be very helpful.  Everyone learns differently, so teaching style and personality of the instructor is important.\n\nEnjoy!

Okay. So, if there is a local, "open" swimming pool in your town area, go there. Then, start at the deep end (not too deep). Hold breath in the air and then go down in the water. And just breathe, down in the water, just breathe. Breath with your nose and mouth. Just imagine being a fish, you know, when we were babies in the stomach, we breathe in water! Just do it. Don't be scared. When you breathe underwater, you are fine, soon the water would push you up when you're running out of oxygen or just kick your feet up if you need more air. Then keep doing this. It'll help you *immensley*. Once you learn how to breathe, things will get a lot easier. And just Try to swim or float on the water while breathing. So you are basically teaching your body to swim. Okay, during the summer, take swimming lessons in your local town area. You'll learn breastroke, sidestrock, FRONTSTROKE, BACKSTROKE, elementary backstroke, butterfly. Etc. But most importanly, just teach yourself a little, just be a fish! Just thing as water as your home.

your local swimming pool. go to yahoo yellow pages to find the closest pool to your home. i went to the YMCA to learn how to swim and those classes cost my parents a fortune!! and all i learned was how to flutter kick. and i didn't even do it correctly! then i went to a nearby pool and they gave me lesson for free. and now im on the team and it's still free. i think im susposed to pay 10 bucks a month but they didn't ask so whoops. lol
