[BlindTlk] Swimmers

[Mark Tardif]

Hi there.  I learned when I was a child at the school for the blind.  I also 
did some learning at summer camp on Long Island Sound in Connecticut.  I was 
taught how to float and then one stroke at a time.  At first I went out with 
a life preserver, but found that I could float quite well without one.  I 
feel more comfortable swimming in a pool surrounded by walls, less chance of 
getting disoriented.  But I have been known to swim in the ocean, paralell 
to the shore.  No need to panic if you find yourself in deep water, in fact 
that's the last thing you should do.  If you relax you will be able to float 
effectively on your back.

Hi all,

I didn't know how to title this message but the message has to do with
swimming. I'm sure there are some of you that knows how to swim and I'm
wondering how did you learn and are you able to swim without worrying?

Just wondering

Thank you!
