Please someone give me some advice about what to do about swimming in gym class!?

I understand. I actually can't swim, so when my friends all ask if I want to go swimming it's always a definite NO.

speak to your parents maybe about how your feeling, it seems like you have low confidence in yourself, so maybe you could talk to your parents about how your feeling and see if they can send a note in, call or have a meeting with your teachers.

going to a councilor will help, go and speak to your teachers privately about how your feeling, when it's your free time, don't go during lesson changes or whatever because your teacher will be busy, your best bet is after school! so they will know that you are serious and even stayed after school to talk about it.

remember, they can't physically force you to do anything, so if worse comes to worse, Just point blank refuse every lesson and they will soon give up... that's what I do when I don't want to go to a lesson or do something!

hope this helped, good luck.

Sounds like a participant. He's courting a lady he does not even like. Hahahahahah! That line is so historic, it's been weaved into the plot of many films. Maybe you experience being driven round. Maybe he thinks you're a pushover. A sucker. Tell you what, why do not you do that? When he is going out with the female friend he does not like, why now not push is muscle sure butt right into a pool? Why now not throw a basketball at his female friend, on cause? Sound playful to you? I'll wager you bucks to donuts that Mr. Dickweed won't recognize a style of his possess unhealthy treatment. It's a well factor that you've saved a record of the entire crap he has dished out to you. Now hit him wherein it counts. Make a record, from A to Z, and dish all of it again in his face, while the female friend he says he does not even like is correct there. And here's the icing at the cake. If she begins to cry or throw a hissy have compatibility simply stroll as much as the comfortable couple and say "however honey, darling, you instructed me you do not even like her anymore" after which correct in entrance of her kiss him at the lips. It will pass over like a led balloon however the reality will probably be out and you are going to reveal him for the no well, 2 timing son of a gun that he's.

every one hates swimming at school from what i can tell.

once you are in the water no one can really look at you any way. everyone else will be feeling self conscious too.

put a swimming cap on over your hair. i saw some girls at my pool that had really nice swim caps on (as in not your average rubber on your head look) more like a bath cap but for swimming

you an talk to your councilor but i doubt you will be the first student to ask or the first student to get refused the request

you will stand out more if you bring attention to yourself and sit out or demand special treatment. if you jump in there and get on with it then people will pay less attention to you

Tell them that you're allergic to the chlorine so maybe you won't have to swim. And for your hair, just wear a swimming cap or just tell them that you spent a lot of money on your dye job and it will mess it up.

If you are embarrassed of your body try to get the most covered up bathing suit you can. Try getting one of those dress bathing suits. Or become Muslim and tell them that you have to cover up your hair and your body and that you can't take off your hijab and swim in the water.

don't worry. i had the same troubles but its actually quite fun in the end. since you are in the water, nobody really looks at you. believe it or not, they are all concerned a little themselves! trust me our pool broke down the second day and we had to run more than any other class. . .rust me you dont want that. and about the hair. . .you can tie it up and wear a swim cap, or cover it with a towel as soon as you get out :D hope i helped :)

You could just put your hair up, then it won't get wet...

I'm sure no one else is excited for swimming anyways. Just do it and get it over with. Don't be self conscious about yourself in a swim suit! I'm sure you're beautiful <33

Have whoever you live with write you a note saying you are on your period or you are allergic to the amount of chlorine they use in the pool or something like that. Good Luck :)

You could fake an injury or just say you have your period. I don't think there's really any other way for you to not do swimming. Sorry, it's life.

"Have your period." My friend had hers for two weeks during the swim unit, would you believe it? ;) The best part is, the gym teacher never questioned it lol!
