I s*ck at swimming, too. I took lessons as a kid but never did get it. I've never been comfortable in the water . . . But I'm inspired by this thread! Just saw a sign at my gym for a beginners' swimming class and it got me thinking and considering. But I'm not ready yet.--

Good luck, Snowtulip. You're not the only one -- Hope it goes well for you!
