Today, I learned a valuable lesson: Make sure you learn to swim at a very young age, or else you might end up a in a swimming class with a bunch 3 and 4 year-olds, taught by your crush. FML

Today, I had to go take swimming lessons because my mom has a fear I'll drown and I'm totally afraid of swimming anyway and never get anywhere near water. My instructor? A high school classmate of mine. My fellow swimming classmates? 5 and 6 year old kids. FML

Today, my dad taught me how to swim. I had to keep doing a lot of strange movements to keep my body floating. While doing that, two 8-year-old girls came and asked me if i needed help getting out of the water. I'm a 20 year old guy. FML

Today, my mom signed me up for a swimming class to show my sister there's nothing to be afraid of. Considering I'm 17, I assumed I'd be in an advanced class. Instead, I get to spend summer blowing bubbles in the shallow end with four-year-olds as my little sister cheers me on from the steps. FML

Today, I was at a friend's pool party. He lives on a lake and one of our friends wouldn't get in the water. My best friend and I decided to push him off the dock. Once we had, I turned to see my crush who had watched looked shocked, then said, "You know he can't swim right?" FML

Tyranny

Today, while teaching swimming to a bunch of five year-olds, one particularly bratty girl decided she didn't want to swim and led the entire class to strike, leaving the pool empty, and me without a job. Apparently I was teaching the next world tyrant to swim. FML

Not working out

Today, I joined my crush for their workout class. I didn’t realize it was an advanced class. Ten minutes in, I was gasping for air, bright red, and drenched in sweat. The instructor had to stop and ask if I needed a paramedic. My crush offered me a cup of water along with a look of deep concern. FML

Today, I took my 4-year-old daughter to the local pool for swim lessons. As we walked onto the deck she turned to me and said "Mom, that lady has really big boobs!" The whole pool heard, even the man my daughter was referring to. FML

Bring some floaties. Might as well make a joke out of it. You're stuck there anyway

As embarassing as it is good for you. Everyone should know how to swim. My hubby does not know how and while he is careful around water I still worry about him. As long as you try hard I am sure your crush respects you for it.

Yes, he is embarrassed because all of our names and addresses are so public on this site.

No need to jump to defensive mode. For future reference; "=P" implies banter. =P

Don't worry, I'm sure those water floaties look damn sexy on your arms. The only thing hotter than that are those foam backpacks. I hear girls just love them.

Play it up. Show up in flippers goggles and floaties. Sure you look silly but it shows that you have a sense of humor.

There are plenty of adult swimming classes. YDI for signing up for the kiddy class to be near your crush. On the other hand, you could use it to get to know her. Being there shows her your vulnerable side. Chicks dig that for some crazy reason.
