    You can't really learn how over the Internet, but get yourself used to water first. Even if it's in the shallow end. When I was smaller I naturally started learning how to float or I would hold on to the side of the pool & practice kicking my legs.

    Get one of your friends to teach you or ask your parents.!! Maybe one of them can do it or get you swimming lessons. Good luck.!

    Sure. Boogie on down to the pool and take some lessons. That's the best way to learn proper technique. If you try to struggle along on your own, you're never going to be a good swimmer. But take a few lessons and you'll be outdoing some of your classmates.

    just practice in the shallow end. are you scared to drown, or you just can't swim? take some lessons at a neighborhood pool in the summer.

  • As others are saying, take simming classes. You'll improve more on kicking, stroking, and your breathing abilities. Or, if your on vacation or break, go to a hotel and practice in their pool, or go to a lake or something.
