Are swimming lessons a good way to get over my fear of water?!


Question: Are swimming lessons a good way to get over my fear of water!?
I am 36 and don't know how to swim, I don't even want to put my head under water!. I figure lessons would help me understand how and get used to it what a professional there so I would feel safe while doing it!. What to you think!? I know I would still be scared at first though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
yes, this is a really good idea i think!.
if you learned how to swim the water wouldn't pose any real danger anymore and that could help with the fear!. but don't expect miracles!. being 36 you're very used to being afraid, so it might take quite some time until you're really not afraid anymore!.

maybe in addition to a professional you could also take someone that you trust completely with you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Thats a big NO!. You need to get a life jacket from a swimming shop!. Go with a friend or friends who are good swimmers!.

Then go in with the person really deep and enjoy a dip in the sea on a sunny day, I used to hate the water but one day my mums friend put a life jacket on me, I thought just to make me feel safer!. then he through me off his little pico boat and i was so scared!. But i realised that it was only water and since then i LOVE swimming!

GO FOR IT, DONT BE SCARED!.!.!. YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE!Www@Answer-Health@Com

yeah definitely , get private lessons, I'm sure that with a professional nearby you will feel much safer, and you will learn quickly!. but you won't get used to it first time!. after that you'll be fine swimming your own!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think it might help!. Find a school or instructor that is certified and knows what they're doing!. Definitely go with private lessons and not group lessons!. They can start you out slow and move as you get more comfortable!. Good luck! Www@Answer-Health@Com

There are such things as adult swim classes for people just like you!. You can even get private classes!! :) Www@Answer-Health@Com
