non swimming diver? HELP!

[Medic]

Well, thank you all for your comments! After reading them, I got on the phone and signed up for swimming lessons at the YMCA. I understand this is something that I do not need to rush into. Once again thanks for the encourgement.

on your desicion. It is a very wise one. Swimming is a great skill that can be useful, fun and even life-saving, whether you ever scuba dive or not.

Best of Luck!

You will never regret it.

An excellent choice. Of course, after you've learned to swim, YMCA is also an excellent choice for learning to dive.

swimming is kind of an important element of diving aswell as being comfortable underwater. I know people who are strong swimmers but to them having 20, 30, 40 and so on feet of water over top of them freaks the hell out of them.
