What percentage of Americans know how to swim?

I've been teaching swimming for about 10 years and I can tell you, after all that time I STILL HATE COLD WATER! You will never get rid of the emotion tied to cold water (which is why you hate it), but you can make yourself more comfortable when first entering a cooler pool.

First I warm up with 10 mins of slow jogging on the treadmill (in full clothing-sweatpants/sweatshirt... which warms my body up considerably. Then I strip off the jogging suit and get right into the pool. The water at this point is actually refreshing, even though still cold. If you don't have a treadmill to use just jog indoors/outdoors where there is space available for 10 mins.

Just jump right in. Flex your muscles as if you were lifting weights - slowly and with focused resistance. The urge to suddenly climb out is similar to the urge to squirm when being tickled or seeing a disturbing horror scene in a movie. Just relax your muscles, focus your mind on staying in, and don't let it bother you.
