If like me, your co-ordination is a little challenging, then breaststroke could be the answer. When I told my son's swimming instructor that he was dyspraxic, she simply replied "I know." She said that that it was easy for her to spot which of his pupils were dyspraxic or had co-ordination problems, based on their swimming technique.
I could never swim any stroke other than breaststroke. I believe that there was something in the symmetry of the action which made it an easy option for me. Swimming on my back led to a sink not swim situation and I cannot begin to imagine how anyone could coordinate the arms, legs and breathing of front crawl. Living with dyspraxia for me, is all about avoiding the activities which cause the most stress, and front crawl is one of them. My husband has tried to teach me and even in my mid forties, it is a mystery to me. dyspraxiafoundation.org.uk/dyspraxia-children/swimming-instructors-guide/
