What she said. I learned to swim in my mid 20s, but still get the heebies when I am near deep water. If my feet can't touch the bottom, I am like "Oh SH*T!"
I would like to take a refresher course or 2. I am also one of the first to learn to swim in my family. My mother and grandmother had friends and family members drown and won't go near water. My uncle made sure his kids learn to swim at an early age because of his mother's fear.
Mr. 1228's kid is a so so swimmer, he took lessons when he was younger. If Mr. 1228 and I have kids, that kid will learn to swim before they can walk!!!!
Gwyn, I feel ya about the hair. Thankful I have braids!

I did not learn to swim until I was in my LATE 20's.
