Question Learning Swimming - an adult beginner

Hi,

I'm looking for adult swimming classes (I have already checked out the YMCA and they don't start until April) or reasonably priced private one-to-one sessions (student so I can't afford that much)...

One place (not the YMCA) had classes for 7 years and up... I'm very petite so I'd rather not be surrounded by 10year olds who are taller than me!

Can anyone help?

Thank you!!

YMCA on Bridges St, Central/Sheung Wan also does swim classes. They are halfway through a course now (coming up to 4 of 8) but they only have 5 people in it so you may be able to join partway.

I signed up last week.

Even some e-tutor.com, they provide some swimming lessons, around 4-5 ppls a group or 2-3 a group. They can let you to start the lessons earlier. I think it is a good choice because not very expensive too.

around $180-$350 depends on the size of group and the qualification of tutor.
