i cant swim im 24 and i cant swim at all how do i overcome my fear of deep water i use a life jacket still in deep water sometimes i heard theres swim lessons but im very scared any help or advice......?

The first step in learning how to swim is learning how to float on top of the water.

You could start by using your lifejacket to float.

Do you have access to a swim instructor?

There are swim instructors who specialize in children and adults who have special needs and/or are very afraid of the water. Both of my children ended up having to take lessons with such an instructor and she is a real miracle worker. I know she also has adult students. I would reach out to local places that have swim classes and ask if they have a special needs swim instructor. She started my kids in the shallow warm therapy pool to remove the temperature and depth issues. If you find the right place and instructor, they could do the same.
