Swimming memories with some tips

It was my first time in swimming pool so I was nervous as well as scared.Suddenly i lost my balance and i felt that i'll be gone.Whenever i discuss this,my friends make fun of me.But some one who is starting to learn swimming,will understand my feelings.Its not just that I slipped into water but the fear which reduced my confidence to come out from the water after slipping.

Now a days my swim learning is work-in-progress but now i understand the steps to start swimming.
Few tips:-

Kicking-First one is start kicking which can be done by putting hands on the stairs or anything and kick into water by feet.Its like push the water.
Floating-learn floating into water,its just lay down on the water so your body will become acquainted with water,start feeling light body into water.
Breathing-then should start take breathe into water so you can spend more time into water to swim not for float.
Movements-then start doing feet and hands movements.I felt hands move like chapu.In feet movements use your both ankles not your knees.
Breath out with swim-Then to do swim continously u need to do swim with time intervals take out mouth outside the water,breathe and again take a dive.This is quite complex as in starting their is less time gap between breathe out and dive so sometimes water go inside your body through nose or water which is really stink feeling.But this is the only way to learn by my experience.

Some people start learning by using tubes or just standing into a corner of pool which is especially tricks for kids not for adults,so avoid and just go into water,it may be shallow end.After learning basic technique,now its on the people how they learn to enjoy more and more into the water....there is no end then......I feel very relaxed and rejunivated after swimming. I plan to learn as much as I can as....:) :)
