When I was a kid, things went one of two ways--if my MOM was teaching me to do something (swim) and I cried, she petted me and did not encourage me to pursue it. If my DAD was teaching me (to ride a bike) and I cried, he'd be infuriated and...well..LOL..let's just say I am a very good bike rider to this day! LOL
At any rate, I would love to swim as part of my fitness quest, but wondered if anyone here had learned after their teenage years and how it went for them. I'm only 31, but I have that "can't teach an old dog new tricks" attitude.
