Learning how to swim on my own?

Question

is it possible to teach myself how to swim? by going to the pool once a week? I do not have the time to take lessons on the weekend.

i know how to front crawl, glide and float

i want to learn how to tread water and back crawl

Answer 1

Yea, definitely go do it!!!



Saving money plus getting yourself a little exercise is a great thing!!



Be careful though. Brave doesn't have anything to do when your swimming. Don't go jumping in the deep-end.



Have fun =)

Answer 2

Swimming is a lot easier than you probably think. You just have to find the right motion to move your body in. to tread water, it is easiest to kick your legs down or a bit to the side alternatly and have your arms straight out while bending and unbending your elbows. It's really easy once you get the hang of it :)
