ahahahah FYL its too bad you didnt learn when YOU were 5 or 6 most of the ppl i know say they learned by there parents throwing them into the pool hahah the way george lopez learned lol ..but there dumb

Not everyone learns everything at a certain age. Some Navy guys don't even know how to swim until they get to boot camp.

I'm twelve and I can't ride a bike. When the sixth Harry Potter movie comes out my best friend and Potterholic will drag me to her house and force me to ride one.

#30--um..it's a fear. You might think it's irrational, but that's what a phobia is. It's not someone's fault if they have a phobia. I agree with a lot of people on here that say if the OP's mom was that afraid of drowning, she'd have him/her take lessons when they were little. But I hit YDI because if you sign up for beginner swim lessons at a public pool or something, then you should probably assume that it's going to be full of little kids. Go take an adult swim class. Or even just have a friend/relative teach you.

well aparently the 5 year olde are much more accomplished in then you. if you are in high school (which I highly doubt) I guarentee those classmates of yours could put together a synopsis better then you. and honestly, your mom is a ******* moron for worrying about you drowning now. so obviously she is where you got your brains from, or lack thereof. grow up and don't be scared of something so ridiculous. bwig afraid of the ocean is one thing, but the water is another story. and if you're really scared of the water, then how do out shower?

#35--what did harry potter have to do with your story?
