Have you checked your local YMCA? They often have special classes for adults...
Hi,
You really have a couple of other options. As former Fin Swimming Director for the Underwater Society of America, I would recommend taking up fin swimming. There are a couple of web sites available:
European Fin Swimming
USA Fin Swimming
I believe that the University of Miami also has a Master's Swimming program, that may include people from the community. If not, they could give you information to find a Master's Swimming program near you. Here's another web site that shows the US Masters Swimming programs in the World, and Florida has at least three entries:
US Masters Swimming Clubs
The Masters Swimming programs help a lot with both fitness (speed and endurance) and stroke technique, and will accept just about anyone willing to learn.
Good luck,
SeaRat

Ratliff makes a good point about the Master's program...just a bunch of guuys who are always willing to teach/learn/have fun.
IF you get ambitious and want to try to describe your "problems" you can PM me, and I could help you. I am a former collegiate swimmer and part-time college coach. I can tell you all kinds of neat tricks.

I just checked out the site I showed above for the World Record times, and the fastest human in the water is:
Evgenij Skorjenko 84 RUSSIA
His time: 14.51 seconds for an underwater breathhold (apnea) swim of 50 meters. He set the record in 2001.
The older (1980's) record of 14.99 seconds was held by a Chinese fin swimmer.
That's faaaaaaaaasssssssssssttttttt!!!!!!!!
