Soror, I guess you are *starting out* better than me b/c I needed one-on-one even in the 3 feet deep part of the water. LOL. I have had a big phobia of the water since I was dunked into Lake Michigan several times by someone who thought that it was funny when I was in about the 4th or 5th grade. Girl, the only that I feel comfortable in is the tub. LOL. I get nervous in a jacuzzi.
Good luck with your lessons!! How are they coming along? Have you found any good solutions for keeping your hair moisturized and healthy while taking lessons? I swear that my biggest problem with exercise is that I sweat in my head and it messes up my hair. B/c I am trying to go get it done once a week now, it is almost just a waste of money even if I exercise just three times a week! What can we do? Who knows....

As I was loosening up and learning a little bit faster than others, she eventually took me to the deep end. Once she starts instruction on the deep end of the pool, instruction shifts to one-on-one. She wouldn't DARE leave anyone over there alone. I don't think that anyone would allow her to leave them! I know I didn't!! LOL!
I would also have to agree with Soror SC in that it is best to learn from a certified instructor. Just because someone knows how to swim doesn't mean that they can teach others how to do it. My Soror has been swimming since she was 2, is certified, and serves as a lifeguard as well. I feel VERY comfortable with her. It's just the water that I need to loosen up with! LOL!!
