Today, I had to go take swimming lessons because my mom has a fear I'll drown and I'm totally afraid of swimming anyway and never get anywhere near water. My instructor? A high school classmate of mine. My fellow swimming classmates? 5 and 6 year old kids. FML

You're in high school and you write like a 4th grader. I think your mom should spend that swimming money on a tutor instead.

I can't swim and I'm only 18 >.> I have problems with my body that wouldn't allow me to swim deep water. Plus I nearly drown at the public pool ._.

So shouldn't you be old enough to refuse wanting to take swim lessons? and who cares if you don't know how to swim or are terrified of the water... why do people make big deals out of nothing?

if you're in high school, you should be over four feet tall, yes? 75% of pools are only four feet deep (excluding public pools). Just stand up!

141 - Unless you're a midget. And there are people who are under five feet who are in high school and are adults.

Swimming is a basic skill that everyone should master - but there should be beginner classes for people your age.

Join the military. They'll make sure you learn to swim. On a side note: I find it somewhat ironic that I'm listening to "Into the Ocean," while reading this.

wow just stop whining and learn to swim. Sounds like the 5-6 yr olds are more mature than you

Have you ever heard of a phobia?

Does your mom have a late-onset fear that you'll drown? Shouldn't she have been more afraid when you were little? My local Y has classes for adults who never learned to swim.
