    I’m scared to learn. Mostly because of trauma.

    Edit: I just remembered this clip from the movie WarGames and I relate.

      Well, you don’t have to be in water to learn the basics. If you have a chair you can lay down on your stomach and practice doing the paddling with your feet, and both the crawl/breaststroke movements until you feel confident that you do know them

        I’ll look into it. Thank you. I don’t have the means to learn for real right now but I intend to one day. Hopefully it won’t be so long.
