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

I think that you have a very good chance of getting with your crush. I'm sure she would rather have a conversation with you then the little children. Good luck with the crush and the swimming!

Awww that sucks =( You must feel really emberrassed, but there's no need to. You don't know how to swim, I don't know how to drive. We are not born knowing these things and there's no shame in learning it at an old age. At least you are learning it, and i think you have got some guts to go out there to your crush's class and learn to swim! Soon enough, you'll swim like a fish! You go OP!

I know people in their 40s who never learned to swim. It is alot more common than you think. Don't let it bother you.

You know what, YDI. You didn't learn early. **** your crush's life for the embarrassment of the next few lessons.

Why would the crush be embarrassed?

Off. FYL. That hurts a lot. By you can try to flirt while she's in her bikini.

I also can't swim, and I took lessons for years. I could never get out of level 1 because I can't float. My dad's the same way. It's probably hereditary. Lots of people in the world can't swim, so just don't go on a cruise or anything and you'll be fine.
