Hi Rahul, 1. Crab walk the pool to learn its contours. 2. Your stroke should be even so that you do not deviate from your intended course. 3. Your native sense of direction will help when swimming. A pool is much like a room except that it is filled with water. 4. Do not panic if you get water in your ears. This may reduce the amount of sound you hear but in a pool, assuming you are in the shallows, you can stand up and clear your ears by tilting your head in the direction of the ear you want to clear. If you stand and do not feel the bottom, stroke towards the closest wall and once you reach it, hold on and clear your ears. 5. You will need to learn to breathe like everyone else. 6. If possible, meet the instructor directly, get into the water and experiment. 7. Start by using arm bands to stay afloat. Your instructor will advise you on this. All learners start with these devices.
