I am 27f and am just now starting my adult swim lessons. I have had a fear of water for the longest time and truly trying to get out of my comfort zone. I have been seeing my swim instructor for about a month now and for the most part he has been a good instructor. However, over the past month as we have been working on floating, as a way to “encourage me” he continuously tells me that I’m big and fat and therefore cannot sink. Now I am big and fat girl but I have been on a weight loss journey for the past year or so and have lost 40 lbs. I am currently trying to lose another 20 lbs. I know that I am still big but this is so discouraging coming from him. I know that I shouldn’t be offended because he’s not wrong. He is right, I can’t sink. I know he’s just trying to help. But it would be nice being able to attend a swim class without constantly being told that I’m so fat that I can’t sink. EDIT: sorry I should have added. I am a university student and the swim instructor is provided by the school.…
