Ugh at that teacher - I hate teachers who bring the students into it like that. It makes things harder for everybody.
Personally, I think swimming is great, mostly because I find it really relaxing as an activity (unlike most excerise which I view as faintly stressful) So I would say learning to swim might not be a bad idea - and obviously, it is a good emergency skill.
I never shave anywhere and I still go swimming - screw the public (although nobody has ever commented once on my hairs, most swimming pools aren't full of people who really care) If you decide you want to learn and you don't want professional lessons (which could be out there, there are adult swimming classes sometimes), go early or late. Hardly anybody is there early or late, so fewer people to be staring. Check out the swimming pool of your choice, find out if they have classes or anything (some swimming pools also have adult only times which can be very good.)
