In this post: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/new-divers-those-considering-diving/378598-scared-water.html you state:
I'd suggest that you postpone your plans for scuba tuition until you have mastered competence in the water as a swimmer.
Are you aware that all agencies incorporate a mandatory swimming assessment into their entry-level scuba training courses? For instance, to certify with PADI, you will need to conduct a 200m un-timed swim (without stopping or resting) and a 'survival float'. If you can't achieve those, you won't be permitted to continue the course and you won't get certified.
Learn to walk, before you run..... as they say
