How to teach an elder to swim?

My grandfather never learned how to swim, his parents were very protective of him and in those days they never had the time to teach him. I am pretty built and I do have some spare time , my grandfather and me are close friends and we trust each-other a lot. Lately I got his consent to begin swimming.  My questions are: Can I teach him to swim or should I turn to professional help? Are any special techniques dealing with elderly people?

I'm pretty sure you can do it yourself. As far as technique goes it depends on you as well. Take it gradually, and I guess it should work fine. I'm not familiar with special teaching methods for the elderly, Why should they have special methods.  Good luck.
