  • Answer:

    I think you should learn how to swim. It is a very useful skill to learn and have. If you don't want to show people at school you don't know how to swim then don't swim at school. If you're talking about gym I'm sure your teacher will accept notes like most teachers do. As for learning how to school look into private lessons at your local gym/YMCA. Most organizations like that offer private lessons where it would be just you and the instuctor. I definitely think you should learn how to swim, if you don't learn it might come back and haunt you, it's an important thing to know how to do.

I can't believe you are 15 and can't swim yet. But take it slowly. Start by learning how not to be afraid of the water by putting your head under. Then learn how to float - that's acctually easy, just lie head down in the water and you will float. Then lift your head up and try moving your arms and legs. Swimer4life's tips are good, you should follow them.
