the first time i learn swimming

i remember the first time i learned how to swim. i was with my younger brother at the apartment swimming pool. we weren't suppose to get in the pool that day, can't really remember why but we weren't suppose to is all i know. well it being such a hot day, my brother and i decided to place our feet in the water. we had a few friends around that well were in the pool swimming around and enjoying the nice cold pool. i was around 7 or 8 years old and had some pretty rough friends. well two of them decided to push my brother and me into the pool. i was a bit upset at first seeing as i was wearing regular clothes, but then i said well their wet now, might as well enjoy myself. we told some of our friends we didn't know how to swim so from the time we were there they taught us. my brother and i were pretty quick learner. only problem was when we got home, it wasn't too pretty of a site. but we were happy to have had such a good day. lol.

Hi emma! Great that you know how to swim in that early age. It's sad to hear but I never had the chance to learn swimming though our house is just near a Sports Complex with swimming pool on it.

I can't swim. I never had the chance of learning how to swim, as there were no large bodies of water in the area I grew up in. Going to a swimming pool and taking swimming lessons doesn't interest me at all.

My mother signed my sister and I up for swimming lessons when we were just little children. I started swimming lessons when I was about three years old, starting in a small kiddy pool, where the water came up to my shoulders, and sometimes swimming in the "big pool" with a life jacket, till eventually I learned how to swim in the big pool without the life jacket, and in a section where I could not touch bottom. I was about six year old when I learned how to swim without the life jacket.

Hi Emma, The first time i learned how to swim was when i was in college. I was taught how to do floating and then learn the basic swimming technique. it happened in the beach. I gained the confidence that i can really swim when my husband motivated me during our honeymoon and that was also in the beach. Every time there's a seminar and the venue had swimming pool i make it a point to swim and this enhances my skills in swimming. But i don't go to the deeper feet--.

ok thank you for your discussion which you mentioned here in my lot, that you learn swimming when you were 4 years, very good, i self learn swimming when i wan in the age of 10 years, as there was a river and i were used that daily for bathing and slowly i learn swimming. that river was so deep. now i dont know that how much was deep water that you learn swimming in that.

i never really had proper swimming lessons, unless you count the PE class i had in college, but i didn't really learn anything from it since the professor mostly didn't show up for class. my mom always says that i am a natural swimmer, i guess that's why she never enrolled me in a swimming class. i do swim pretty well though, for a person who never had proper training.

My parents wants me to enroll swimming lesson so I do. I've learned the basic lessons of swimming then I was able to use it in excursions. I am confident enough with my swimming routines now.

Hello Emma, You would laugh at me to know that i still don't know swimming.But it is essential and one should know how to swim.May i will learn it with my kids when they do join some swimming classes next year.

At first I feels learning swimming was an quite an difficult task and I thought that I can't learn them but my uncle and my father are the ones who helped me to achieve it. I hope every one can learn it you have a good instructors to teach it.
