Hi,

It's hard for me when learn swimming. I do not have many fix time to join the class.

Do I learn from the internet or youtube? Would you please share your experience about it?

Thanks in advance

Just jump into the pool. When I learned to swim I almost drowned. I didn't learn immediately after that but I think it helped me in some way.

I think it's worth signing up for a swim class or taking a private lesson.

YouTube and other online platforms offer a wide range of swimming tutorials and instructional videos. These can be helpful for learning basic techniques, drills, and exercises. Look for reputable channels or instructors who provide clear instructions and demonstrations.

Go in the shallow end of a pool, pull your legs up while you try to use your arms to keep you up. Just work on swimming without using your legs. Then when you can hold yourself up and move across the surface with just your arms go to the deeper end and experiment with moving your legs.
When I see nonswimmers fall into water and start thrashing it's because they never moved their arms in the water seeing which movement pushes and keeps them upward. It's a cyclical motion not a flapping or swinging.
