Well done for learning to swim in such a short time. Hats off to you and your husband. For everyone else, please note that Cindy and her husband are an exception to the rule. The time it takes to learn to swim is very individualistic, so don&#39;t assume it will take you 3 days as well. However as you can see it is possible :).liborhttp://360swim.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10952302.post-90423873877386169362011-07-25T01:11:44.737+03:002011-07-25T01:11:44.737+03:00Hi just read your blog. you have some good tips. In response to the person that asked about the number of lessons needed to learn to swim. My husband and I are both 43 and we learned to swim in three days! The lessons were one hour long and we were taught the basics and we can swim. Neither of us had ANY swimming instruction prior to our lessons. Our daughters had a week of instruction prior to our lessons and my husband observed two days and I watched our daughters five days. We had a great instructor needless to say. My husband was able to jump from the diving board on the deep end and swim almost the length of the pool at the end of the third day!!Cindynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10952302.post-25205969857739567022011-07-20T08:25:45.847+03:002011-07-20T08:25:45.847+03:00Hi moses, thanks for sharing your swimming experience. The important thing is that you learn how to float before you venture out to the deep end. After you float comfortably, floating in deep end is the same as floating in shallow end as the water is the same, so there is no reason to be afraid. You can always sink all the way to the bottom and push back up to the surface from the floor of the pool (if you happen to sink).liborhttp://blog.swimator.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10952302.post-74329499197358590692011-07-19T21:05:45.266+03:002011-07-19T21:05:45.266+03:00hi, my name is moses, i tarted swmming lessons less than a week ago. still iam afraid of the vdeep end.MUSA VETERINARY CLINIChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04699869978202220031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10952302.post-89241246441320697662011-05-09T13:53:06.614+03:002011-05-09T13:53:06.614+03:00There is never too late to start to learn how to swim. If you have the dedication, patience and some body control, you can do it. Of course, the older you are the longer it takes, but at 27 you are still very young, so should be perfectly fine. <br /><br />You can learn to swim in 8 classes, however, it really is dependent on how fast you can learn. After 8 classes you should have enough knowledge of swimming that you can improve on your own. <br /><br />Weight does not really matter in swimming. If you are very muscular you will not float as well as if you have some fatty tissue, but otherwise most people float regardless.liborhttp://blog.swimator.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10952302.post-17315087755460861462011-05-09T13:42:32.568+03:002011-05-09T13:42:32.568+03:00Hi...its been just 2 days since i started my swimming classes. I am 27 and was told that it&#39;l be difficult to learn compared to others. is that true? <br /><br />Do u think 8 classes (weekends only) are not enough to get me to swim?<br /><br />Also does body wieght matter?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10952302.post-55671511717477161562008-11-20T13:38:00.000+02:002008-11-20T13:38:00.000+02:00i would like to learn more about the drills for kids,i am swimming coach for kidsKsenijahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03007474435361099236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10952302.post-1144499380607723072006-04-08T15:29:00.000+03:002006-04-08T15:29:00.000+03:00Thanks so much for all your kind words about the blog and the content. I do my best to update regularly (biweekly, monthly :)), however, some months are more hectic then others with my work, so don't get as much time to update as I'd like to. <BR/><BR/>To answer your questions:<BR/>1. World record for swimming distance? - I have no clue and doubt there is one as it would basically borderline a death of a person :). However, I think there are more world records in swimming from places to places in certain times etc. Try search Google.com for more info.<BR/><BR/>2. Too much muscle to float? - Well, that is normal. Most men have that problem, especially in the legs :). You will just have to compensate with kicking more and relaxation. (practice makes perfect). Remember that straight line is what makes you not sink (be like a tree log)<BR/><BR/>3. Trying masters swimming? - don't be embarassed. Everyone starts somewhere and look at it more from this perspective: How many people out there can say, I swim on a team on a regular basis, it keeps me fit and I love it. Swim on, don't let your level of swimming stop you.<BR/><BR/>Keep on, keepin' on.liborhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14568372561902589970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10952302.post-1138711318485518332006-01-31T14:41:00.000+02:002006-01-31T14:41:00.000+02:00Very nice series of articles, I hope that you'll continue with this!<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to test it myself.Paulonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10952302.post-1138507065021527072006-01-29T05:57:00.000+02:002006-01-29T05:57:00.000+02:00This is the best blog I`ve came across so far.

My problem is that I only know backstroke and free style and am terrified of deep water and treading. I would like to build up the courage to dive someday. I also want to learn how to navigate my body under the water. Since I am a novice, are there any things I can be doing to help work up the nerve to do more advanced things. Also, there is a master's swim program at my club, but I am embarassed about the level in which I will be starting.Shawneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02511872211869795846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10952302.post-1138079484668717392006-01-24T07:11:00.000+02:002006-01-24T07:11:00.000+02:00me encanta el nado, lastima que aca en chile solo sea amateur.<BR/><BR/><BR/>practico y e ganado competencias<BR/><BR/>me gustaria lo profesional <BR/><BR/><BR/>saludos BUEN BLOGLOOZERkid.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17666473627442517647noreply@blogger.com
