Yeah. I thought about the floating thing.
I was thinking the coverup to the last minute was a good idea too. And they close the pool to the public during the class sessions, so there will be fewer people there. I took one of their classes about 10 years ago. There were only about 3 people in the adult class. And all the other classes were very young children. I was much thinner then, so I didn't have the same level of vigilance I have now.
I think after the first class I'll be more comfortable, because I'll know what to expect and the lay of the land.
And thanks for the 'it feels so great!' comment. That's what I'm hoping for - once I get past the self-consciousness of being fat in a swimsuit and not knowing how to swim properly.
