I didn't really get a proper grasp on anything but the backstroke until I took adult swimming classes in my 20s.
It doesn't help that not knowing how to swim doesn't stop gym class from forcing you to participate. I drank a lot of chlorine during 2 weeks each year.
And it's wild, I was an avid distance runner, biker, and tree/rock climber. Swimming just didn't click for me for some reason.

Weird! Backstroke was the first thing I figured out too - and that's sort of what I mean. Kinda just worked something out.
And yeah I remember the mouthfuls of chlorine :yea:
