I love water aerobics and do it alot. Back 150 lbs and 45 yrs ago I was a good swimmer. But, now at my age (and weight) I am alittle afraid of going to the deep end that there is no much of me to keep afloat! I have decided to take a refresher at our Wellness Center. Wish me luck that I don't drown!

    Good for you! My mom tried to get me to take swim lessons as a kid and I never liked it. Now that I have two little ones who love to swim, I figured I'd better be able to save them if I had to. I just completed my swim lessons at the Y and I'm 39! Good luck!!

    Good for you! I'm sure if you stick with it (and I know you will), you will see amazing weight loss results and a quick rebuilt of confidence.

    I didn't have to option as taking swimming lessons as a kid because I grew up in a small community where only swimming spot was the 'swimming hole' in the creek down the road. LOL Anyway, my 2.5 year old is turning into quite the little fish so hubby and I decided that we need to take lessons to help us keep up with him as he gets bigger! My last class of basics is this Thursday & then we are going to take a semi-private class together as soon as the summer sessions start. =) Loving it!

    Best of luck to "Granny" and the rest of us newbies! Have lots of fun & stay safe.
