You know how they say you never forget how to swim no matter how long you haven’t been swimming. It is not true. You forget quite a lot of stuff. The good news though is that if you make the effort and have confidence, it comes back to you. Better news is that you get better at it than you were before. A bit of background will help here. I learned swimming eight years ago and swam continuously for 4 months. I only spent 5 days listening to my teacher (who was great by the way!) and practicing the breathing technique and hand and leg movements and then, that is all I did those 4 months.
