DH taught himself how to swim from the TI DVD and book and it took him quite a while. I think it's hard to do it yourself because you don't even really know what you are doing wrong. In my case, with my breathing breakthrough this week, it was as simple as not tucking my chin when I rotated to breathe. I don't know that I ever would have figured that out on my own.

I am pretty fortunate that I am a floater. My mom can't swim, but she can float for days!
