    Too bad your not down here man. My wife is a friggin' dolphin. She'd teach you for way less than any local lesson or YMCA place.

    Inconel - Total Immersion... That's funny. My dad taught me and my brother how to swim by throwing us out a boat in the middle of a lake and saying, "See you on shore."

    Well, actually, part of the reason I want to work on my swimming basics is I've decided to join the reserve, either Navy or Coast Guard

    Congratulations on your decision to serve. It seems to me that you are probably old enough to just read techniques and go try them out yourself. I can swim (was on swim team) but can't think of how I'd teach someone else other than just saying, "Do this.... Now practice that a lot. See you next week."

    Link with info on the boot camp swim test

    And if you're going in the Coast Guard I wouldn't worry about it. You don't mention how tall you are but if you're over 6 feet tall and the ship goes down you can walk back to shore. If you're under 6 feet tall they issue you SCUBA gear.

    all joking aside I wish I'd taken a closer look at the puddle pirates
