Going to go to the YMCA for the first time ever in my life tonight. My mom never allowed me to learn to swim. I figured it's about time I find out what to do. You're never too old to learn new things. And I lived on (sometimes IN) the Mississippi River....it's a wonder I didn't drown before this. I do know how to float, my one saving grace.
We all float. Make sure you learn the survival float. It saved my life.
When we were young, we often went to the local Y. Then one swam sans bathing suite.
