Learning to swim is not just for children. You can learn the basics or improve your ability in the water, regardless of your age, size or physical ability.

Perhaps you're one of the 20% of adults who can't swim. You've got your reasons.... you can't get your face wet, you're frightened of the deep end, you just don't have the body for it. Well, perhaps it's time you took the plunge and booked some swimming lessons. The swimming teachers will understand your fears. They concentrate initially on getting you used to being in the water, rather than learning specific strokes. Go on. Dip your toe in the water. All you need is a costume and a towel.
