Private vs regular group lessons

[kaylee_ann]

The swim is just a swim. Relax and swim, whatever stroke or combination of strokes you want to do.

Is it underwater or above water

There is no time limit for the swim. It's usually 200 yards but I think it can be 300 with mask/fins/snorkel (way easier). It's very difficult for the instructor to count the exact number of pool laps when there is a large class, so just kind keep with the group. Don't stop, touch bottom-- as long as you finish and don't die you pass. But, it's a good idea to get a little swim training anyway-- something I think everyone who does anything in water too deep to stand in should have.

I agree on the training, it'd help with confidence too. Also I'm taking private lessons so I can't use that trick sadly lmao. Pretty sure I'd be able to make it without dying or stopping...I'm gonna go to my local Y and see how far I can swim

I have some instructions for you to follow.

Step 1. Make a class of herbal tea

Step 2. Sit down and put your feet up.

Step 3. Breath from your diaphragm a few nice slow deep breaths.

Step 4. Enjoy the tea, relax you will do just fine in your class and even have fun.

Yup I had to walk across the pool.

Yeah I think my hopes and dreams of scuba diving might be coming to an end if that is the case
