I Can't Swim

I have eczema, which was super bad while I was younger...when my school was teaching us how to swim, I was unable to attend because the pool would burn my skin :( and because of my asthma, I can't hold my breathe for very long xD

So now I have a huge fear of drowning. Boats, cruises, and big bodies of water are just scary.

maybe take a swimming class

Have tried. Chlorine burns my skin, and I can't hold my breath long enough to actually swim. I can float though. 👌

floating on your back is one of the best things to learn , has your dermatologist suggested Vaseline to protect the sensitive areas?

It's the only thing I was actually able to learn. xD and no. Yuck.

lol take to him or her it's an old remedy and it works . I remember my grandmother using it when I was little ,my dermatologist suggested I use it , it's funny how the old methods are still usually the best
