jen_clem Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I have a fear of water but want to learn how to swim. Has anyone got any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1889 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 If you call ponds forge, they have trained personnel who can help you with this! The have specific classes to help people in similar situations to yourself, and allthough you might not think it at this moment in time! It is a very common thing for people of all ages! Call the main ponds forge helpline number and tell them the situation, the do taster sessions and should get you started! Good Luck Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jen229 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Hi Jen, I share your fear, but I keep putting off learning to swim (it's been my New Years resolution for the past 4 years!!), so you're definitely not on your own. I think I'll give Ponds Forge a call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambi Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Hi Jen, yes go book that lesson. I coached the adult swimming lessons for years at Ponds.You get to go at your own pace and you will have a laugh. The teacher can raise the floor up to suit the learners so you wont be in out of your depth.Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floridablade Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Do what most people do,play around at the shallow end and gain confidence in the water,grab hold of the side gutter and lift your feet off until one day,bingo you let go and you're floating. The thing to avoid at all costs is to panic,force yourself to keep calm and you'll be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
