Often in the past, learning how to swim was literally a sink or swim experience.
You were thrown in the water, an instructor standing on the deck was showing you the moves you were supposed to do while you were trying not to drown, and he was holding a long stick in front of you that you could grab if things became too overwhelming.
Luckily, those times are long over and the swimming instruction has evolved in the right direction.
You can now learn swimming each stroke by following sets of progressive drills. These drills teach you all the skills you need for a swim stroke, one skill at a time. They build one on top of the other and gradually integrate stroke components.
Once you have mastered the last drill of a progression, you will have the feeling to have learned a swim stroke almost magically, without any struggle.
