How old were you when you learned to swim

Oh gosh... I actually don't remember NOT being able to swim LOL We always had a pool in the backyard from the time I was very young and several of our friends and relatives also had them to we spent very waterlogged summers :) My mom used to call me a fish because I couldn't get enough of it! My dad was the biggest influence on teaching me to swim, though, because my mother was one of those ladies that just sort of walked around and dogpaddled ;) Even 'til this day, if we stay in a hotel or motel, it HAS to have a pool because the whole family doesn't consider it a vacation or getaway if swimming isn't involved.

i was 8 when my parents got me addmited to a swiming camp .you wont believe it i was so scared of water i took 2 full seasons to learn freestile now i am 16 and i can even swim underwater now i am not scared to swim in the deepest pools

i think i was about 6 years old.

I was about 7 and i was taught at school

I was about 8 years old

my dad said when i was 2 i was swimming like a fish

It wasn't until I was 18 till I learnt to swim, I was actually taught by my best friend at the time, I was able to trust him and he was very patient with me. I had nearly drowned a few times and I was scared of the water until he decided to take me to our local baths and teach me. It was the best thing I've ever done. I love swimming now, although I don't go often.

hmmm... i think it was about eight year old..

I was about 5 when I first learned how to swim. I just imitated a move my brother made when he when underwater and got it after several attemps. After that my mom decided to enroll me in swimming classes at the Y near our house.

I was 7 years old when my parents sent me and my 2 sisters to swimming classes. I was so hesitant that time because I prefer playing basketball. But now, I love the beach very much.

i think i was 5 when i learn swimming. i have learnt in 3 days i started in river. that time i learn to save myself but now i m in navy and i m a good swimmer i enjoy swimming in deep oceans

I was 10 years old ... I think . I remember that my parents tried to learn to swim but they couldn't and send me to olimpic pool at special courses and since then , I love swimming :)

i first learned how to swim when i was 7 or 8 years old. my parents enrolled me in one of those sports clinics. i initially wanted to learn gymnastics but they told me it would be bettter for me if i learned how to swim. true enough, swimming helped me with asthma (it actually healed my asthma), and helped me stay fit and active for 10 years. it also helped me legally skip PE classes and those military trainings in school since i was part of the swim team back then.

i was about 6 and i stayed in a condo which got a swimming pool downstair. i remembered that my dad brought me down for a swim almost every day n night as i love to swim so much that time. my dad will played with me in the small pool n taught me how to swim, proper way of kicking n moving my arm.

I was 4 and I started swimming in Oneida Lake, apparently I was born part fish and just took off in the water. I still swim often.
