I learned to swim early on at the local YMCA. Their program had different levels like: Polliwog, Minnow, Fish, Flying Fish. Am I remembering this correctly anyone? Then swam competitively as a kid, but I wasn't very good.

I swim, but clumsily. My sister and I were both water phobic and learned late. I think I was 7 or 8 when I took lessons. It was important to my dad that we both learned to swim because he was such a sailing fanatic at the time and took us on the boat many
