That is not true!. I have been swimming since I was 2 years old !.!.!. a lot longer then I have been dancing !. I was on the swim team and took lifeguard lessons!. I started Ballroom dancing only a few years ago and I am doing great!. I never really had a problem!. Everyone struggles their first few tries at something that is new , thats what makes us humans !.!.!. nobody is perfect!.The guy probably only wants you to quite because you are determined to get better!. Don't listen to this guy he doesn't know what he is talking about!. Besides swimming makes your legs stronger and your arms firmer = better form!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

ABSOLUTE TOSH!

Swimmers and dancers both:
have well co-ordinated movement of their bodies
have strong muscles and sinews
a strong sense of rhythm and timing

If that miserable know-all REALLY knew what he was talking about, there'd be no such thing as synchronised swimmers, who effectively dance in water!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

HAHAHA WHATEVER!

Before I got super serious into dancing, I was in the pool at 6am in the morning just doing lap after lap after lap!. I eventually got to compete for my state!. Then dancing took over and my butterfly sucks lol!.

And I have another friend who dances who also swims for state!.

So that guy has no idea what he is talking about!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hello,

(ANS) Thats a total load of utter stuff & non sense!! I trained as a dancer many years ago and I'd say swimmers probably have an excellent sense of space, timing & rhythm!. And swimmers who train a lot have good strong bodies, good stamina levels, good muscles, Na!! its rubbish don't believe that for a second!.

Aw well that wasn't nice of him! Don't take any notice of him, you can't expect to be a professional the minute you get on the dance floor! It will take practice, ballroom dancing is tricky - the main thing is that you enjoy yourself!Www@QuestionHome@Com
