Dont feel silly about it either - everyone has to start somewhere - better to learn no matter how late in life.
oh and yes... you should learn to swim before doing any watersports 100%
thanks people.
so are there people out there who take these lessons and STILL cant swim?
i really want to learn, and think i will be able to.
i remember as a kid i could swim with floats
(yeah, sounds dumb!)
but couldnt without them
so i just dont seem to be able to keep myself above the water
gotta get down the sports centre or wherever because i cant really practice in my backgarden, without having a swimming pool
