Just in case anyone was wondering. I successfully completed my adult swimming lessons. My organized flailing skills are now a bit better than they were. I have only had a couple of times to practice since the lessons got over, but at least I feel more comfortable in the water. I now know that I can tread water and float if I absolutely had to. I still dont feel totally comfortable in deep water, but that will come as my organized flailing becomes less flailing and more swimming. I am happy with the outcome of the lessons. If there are any other adults out there that dont know how to swim, I would highly suggest taking lessons at your local YMCA. And it is an excellent workout. My whole body felt worked each night when I came home from class.

Just as a sidenote. Floating face down in the water is typically called “The Dead Man’s Float”, but you will NEVER hear ME called it that. I prefer the term, “face float”.
