Everything you know is wrong

Have you ever learned something when young, only to discover as an adult that you didn't really know it at all?

I've had one of those experiences this week. My 5-year-old is learning to swim, and for the first time in many years I'm spending a lot of time in the pool. Having long been dissatisfied with my swim technique, I started to look into how to improve it -- only to find that my daughter's probably better off than I am, since she doesn't have anything to unlearn.

I was originally intending to sign up for the Masters classes at the local Y, but now I'm wondering if I should just sign up for regular adult swim classes. This time I want to make sure I learn things right.
