What kind of swimsuits are best for swimming? I know boardshorts are not the best for swimming.

I learned how to swim as a kid. I think the biggest issue for most people is the fear of being in that much water than the actually swimming part. Nothing like swimming

Good, I learned how to swim years ago but haven't been in a pool since then, think I'd be able to hold my own if needed.

Respect op. My wife just learned how to swim a few years ago. I kept telling her that swimming is a survival skill that everyone should have. You never know when you will need to swim in order to save your life or the life of your children. Let us know when you get the hang of things

what's wrong with board shorts?
I would bring goggles if its chlorine water, chlorine burns my eyes. Might also not want to eat before swimming, hurling in the pool is gonna make em close off the pool

Also, feel free to urinate in the water. That thing about a chemical making a green cloud follow you in the water so everyone knows you did is such a myth

What do you guys consider "swimming"?
Cos I can tread water and stay afloat and do all the basic strokes, but I hate going under the water

More natural for me to be underwater
As soon as I hit the surface I can't tread
So I take a few breaths then go back under

You know, I was actually looking into Adult classes because, unfortunately, I never learned how to swim.
I'm trying to find free classes but I'm getting zero hits.

I started swimming when I was 7 and competed for a few years.
Stay calm and learn how to breathe. Everything after that (e.g. learning proper strokes, etc.) is simple.

I taught myself as a kid. You can teach yourself as a grown man and all it'll cost is the price to go to and from a public pool/beach.You know, I was actually looking into Adult classes because, unfortunately, I never learned how to swim.

I learned how to swim when I was younger
The thing holding me back was letting myself go to float and swim I used to have one foot glued to the floor at all times
Once I got over that I was good money
I was scared of swimming in deep water too so I would practice treading water in shallow til I got good enough to mess with the deep
Also took a class for college on swimming and learned different strokes and got 1000 times better
