Hi i am currently in Yuma, Arizona area. I am originally from East Palestine, Ohio United States. Current profession work FedEx Ground. I plan to go Philippines which as we know is surrounded by water. Lets just say I like my feet on the ground.
I can swim but breathing not good and can,t swim far. I want to be able to be more relax on boat,jet ski, snokeling more and feel more relax in deep water in pool. Also like to explore islands with little to no fear.
I am 51 but when i was kid i had swimming lessons about when I was 10 years old. I learn how back float and swim underwater on my stomach. I didn,t finish lessons and did this in 3 foot water section (crying with fear of the water). Then a friend had a suggestion at the pool one day. I told him I wanted to learn how to swim in the deep water.
He said he would push me into 10 foot deep water. He said doggy paddle in the water. He push me in and I did what he said. It worked and then I learned free style swimming. I still fear water some and breathing isn,t very good. I have panic breathing I believe.
