It took me about 15 years to learn how to swim.

Growing up I never went to the pool much even though there was one near my house. I am one of 8 kids(yes 8 no joke) so my parents were not real interested in dragging us all down to the pool and watching us fight each other for several hours a week.

When I was 16 my mother decided I needed to learn to swim as she had noticed that anytime my other brothers and sisters went to the pool with there friends, I would stay away.

She noticed my confidence in the pool didn’t exist and she knew I my confidence out of the pool was taking a pretty big blow.

So she signed me up for Swimming lessons, improved swimming was the aim of the lessons.

I did the lessons for about a year and boy was it embarrassing. While my mates were doing backflips off a diving board I was holding onto an old lady begging her not to let me go.

So after a year of swimming lessons I was confidant I could stay afloat.

Fast forward about 15 years and I started taking my kids to the pool.

And all my embarrassment came back when I realized I couldn’t swim much more then about fifty meters before i was huffing and puffing and looking for something to hold on to.

This was not because i was out of shape as I have been going to the gym for years but it was because I could not relax in the pool and I had no technique what so ever.

Anyway I finally got a video and book set given to me for a birthday and I followed all the basic drills in the set and every time I took my kids to the swimming pool I would spend 15 minutes myself practicing what was in the book and videos.

After about four weeks of practice (twice a week) I managed to swim 200 meters non stop.

Learning to swim has boosted my confidence a great deal and it has helped me feel more of a dad, because I was starting to think I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the kids anymore.
