I don't know how to swim. I tried to learn when I was a child. I went to a beach and I tried to swim in the sea. My father wanted to teach me. But I couldn't. It seemed too hard to me. When I go to a pool I fear I will drown. I think swimming works your whole body and it's a great exercise. Can you swim?

I learned to swim at such a young age that it seems to me I was born knowing how, though I know I was really 3 or 4 years old when I learned. You should see if there are adult swimming lessons offered at a pool near you. Learning to swim would be a great way to exercise and good for your safety around water.

I learned very young and I love the water although I am very cautious in it knowing the dangers of it.

Unfortunately, I can't swim. It seemed too hard for me too. I developed a phobia when I was younger. I almost drown in the pool.

Oh yes, some people tell me that I can swim like a fish. lol I learned to swim when I was young. Before I really knew how to swim, my stepfather took us kids out a long ways from the shore on a raft. He dumped us off a yelled Swim or Drown, trust me, I dog paddled all the way back to shore! I grew up in Florida and we went to the lakes all the time, so I know I had to learn how to swim.
