My mother put me in swimming lessons when I was roughly 7 years old. I would say I was pretty good the following year. I think it's really important if you're around a lot of lakes to teach your children at a young age. Anything could happen.

I agree, that is why I taught my daughter to swim, it is important if your child is to ever be around water.

I can't remember. I've known how to swim for as long as I can remember, so it must of been pretty young.

I think at 3 or 4 because my mom had me in swimming lessons as a toddler.

My best friend is 30 and she still can't swim, she is just never really cared about it, nothing to be embarrassed about. Thanks for the comment.

I went to a swimming school but did not learn to swim there. Then I learnt it by myself when I was almost 12... It was when I could be in enough deep water to float properly... : )

I started swimming when I was 10. I had really bad asthma. I started my girls much earlier. But they are still not great at it.

If I remember correctly, the time when I officially began to learn how to swim was when I was around five years old. I was close to drowning many times in my life...
