I can't swim at all. I tried many times to learn how to swim but it was useless. I am so afraid of water. Every time i go near water (sea, lake), I get goosebumps. What about you guys? Do you know how to swim? Do you like it?

yes, though I am not very proficient at it - I can do it. in order to graduate highschool it was required that you be able to swim twice the length of the olympic sized pool. I was able to do it, but I did not like doing it! I hated having to be in a swim suit and having to take this test in front of others. it really REALLY irked me!

I would really like to learn how to swim but, I guess I really need someone who doesn't just go around with words when they try to teach you how to swim. I'm a tall person so even at local pools that could only go to six feet, I still can stand, at least tip toes, and not worry much. Maybe I need a deeper pool as well.

I can swim like a fish, but that is because my grandmother had a pool when I was a small girl, so they all (my family) taught us kids to swim so we wouldn't fall in and drown. LOL My stepmom is like you though, she can't swim at all. She will not even put her feet in the water most of the time.

well, just hold your breath and try to squat in the swimming pool. you must use your arms to hold your knees. just do it, in the shallow water area in the pool. you'll surely float there. then loose yourself and you can learn to swim easily.
