I am trying to learn scuba diving. I seldom swim in a pool or open sea. How should I go about picking up ?
I've been a certified diver for over 30 years. Swimming on the surface is not the same as swimming underwater. I was not a strong swimmer when I got certified, but I was able to pass the swim test. I think it's more important that you feel comfortable in the water than you be able to swim long distances.
If it was me, I would go to a local pool and practice swimming laps. You'll probably only be able to do a few at first, but you should be able to increase that soon. Practice good form, regular breathing, etc. If you're not sure what good form is, watch the other people swimming laps. Notice how they turn their head to breathe rather than lifting it up out of the water, how many strokes they take before they breathe, which side they turn their head to, etc. You can also sign up for an adult swim class, and get some regular training and practice.
Stay with it - scuba is great. It's a good way to meet a bunch of outgoing, friendly people, and it can be a lot of fun to go somewhere different and exotic and go diving.
