Trust the recursion...
I found out today that on Monday I'm supposed to start my swimming unit in P.E. (High School), and the reason why I'm not as enthusiastic about it is because, I CAN'T SWIM!
I have been to the local pool a couple of times (3 years ago) but I didn't really swim. I can float on my stomach, but I was afraid to try floating on my back (I didn't know how I would get back to a standing position). I was able to sit dive under water (5 foot pool) and collect coins, I was able to sit on the bottom of the pool, and I was able to float on my stomach and "try" to swim (By doing this, I usually only went like 3-4 feet in a long period of time). The thing that I really need to learn how to do is how to float vertically without having your feet touch the ground. I'm clueless as to how this can be achieved. I always have to stand on my feet, and when I jump off of them, I just sink down into the pool and float a little below the water. I also wasn't able to jump in the water as I was worried that I wouldn't float back up.
So, any advice on my problems? Any tips? Thanks.
