Oh sorry I can see that’s unclear and I’m assuming a lot!
I’m in Australia so almost everyone who has grown up here has been taught to swim, and generally knows the basic strokes at least (I mostly just do freestyle and breaststroke). I didn’t think of people who might not be at that basic level, I’d definitely recommend some lessons if you’re not up to that!
I was more meaning starting swimming laps regularly - for building fitness and stamina and correcting my technique (not having done lessons since I was in school). For this I’ve mostly used Effortless Swimming [1] and Skills N' Talents (swimming) [2].
