Soror, I am a step BELOW novice! LOL! I know NOTHING about swimming. We started with the basic today. I had to learn how to float. I am currently working on breathing and the breaststroke.
It may be best to learn from someone other than your husband. If I can suggest anything, I would suggest that you take group lessons. They are offered at the Y. When I got there, it was just me and the Soror that is teaching me. Even though it may seem cool to have the personal attention, there is nothing else to distract the instructor. When the focus is all on you, combined with the anxiety that you may already have, it makes you a little more nervous. Sometimes you just want to be left alone to figure it out. Once some other "students" got there, I was able to relax. I was no longer the only one who didn't know what I was doing. I was actually able to help them relax as well.
I am still between 3 and 4 feet. I am NOT NEARLY ready for deep water. I want to hyperventilate just thinking about it! LOL! I'll let you know how it goes!
