Progressive swimming courses are an important part of the program. If you are considering a swimming program, find out if the courses will be progressive from one level to the next so that you are fully educated the entire time. This way there's no reason to not advance as you need to.

A great way to learn how to swim is through swim camp. During the summer months, there are a variety of camps available to you locally as well as through overnight camps that children to adults can take that will help them to learn to swim and advance through it.

Swimming lessons can be taught to adults that don't know how to swim. If you are not able to swim but would like to learn, find out if your local recreational facility offers any training programs for adults specifically, so that you don't feel strange in a group with children.
