I did learn as a kid but then just sort of forgot what to do. *g* I ended up flailing around doing some made up stroke of my own which was awful. I've hardly swam at all as an adult but just decided that I wanted to - & to know how to do it properly. I'm absolutely thrilled - I've never even done something like the back stroke before. *g*

Hope your muses come home soon!
*hugs*
