Swimming back to shore after my dad tossed me and my brother into the middle of the lake one night wasn't too hard. It was getting out of the gunny sack that was difficult.

I can recall coming to looking straight up into the sun , after a lifeguard hauled my sorry a** outta the soup as a lad

I put some serious time in the local creek after that 'lesson'.....

I grew up on a lake and swam every sunny day during the summer. My first attempt at 'swimming' was 'dogpaddling' in the shallows. I remember sucking it up and dogpaddling out to the diving board to join my older brother who was already a good swimmer. I then went to the much more efficient sidestroke and finally to the crawl. However, the sidestroke remained my favorite as I didn't have to put my face in the water. Never liked the 'racing style' backstroke either, but did like what is an inverted breast stoke.

Best way to learn, way I taught my son.
