  • My biggest fear in swimming is that I don't know how to float and then panic and then fear I'm going to drown.

  • Does swimming regularly make you grow taller?

  • I'm 14 years old,and i don't know how to swim,people tell me to relax but i just can't cuz i think i'ma drown and i don't like the feel when water gets to your nose and ears,i just don't like the feeling of it.

  • @toon671278 Yeah, but I get too nervous to relax.

  • @MySkyisClear You wont! the best way is to go underwater as far as you can, adn you'll float straight back up!

  • @Shigalbigal I swim to represent my school... Try keeping yourself flat. Calm yourself if you're scared of water, knowing that you can't really drown in a public pool. DO NOT swim vertically, keep your body straight and flat. To float on your back stretch out your arms and legs but keep your legs and head at an equal height, and don't bend forward. Your head, butt and legs should be the same height in the water. Hope this helps, msg me if it doesn't, I'll be sure to reply :)
