After many years of failing dismally i finally learnt to swim at the age of 28. I too had been scared as a kid after several incidents.
I finally cracked it by using a tummy band, a rope that goes around your tummy with about 8 small square floats. Once i got confident with all the floats it was a gradual process to remove them one at a time until, hey presto, swimming unaided!!
In the end it only took me few hours. Im sure this wouldnt work for everyone but might be worth a try. Good luck to you xx
