Tag: lessons

I'm in my mid-20s and never learned to swim, and I get nervous even in the shallow end. My schedule only allows evening sessions, so I'm trying to figure out whether private lessons or an adult-beginner class would be better for building confidence. Are there specific drills or progressions I should focus on first (like breath control, floating, then kicking)? Any gear that actually helps beginners, like nose clips or certain goggles, without turning it into a crutch? I'd love a step-by-step approach so I don't rush and freak myself out. A little encouragement is welcome too 🙂.
