Do You Know How To Swim?

i never had the formal training, it just happen that, one day, we went out for a swim and i have to get myself saved :))

It was my brother who taught me how to float when I was 10 years old. From then on I just tried to imitate others in making swimming strokes. I could snorkel and I enjoy swimming at the pool and the beach without having any proper educational training in swimming. My son, on the other hand, had a proper education and loves to compete with me in free style swimming.

I can swim. I learned it when my cousin pushes me to the river aged 10. He can't wait for me to plunge the water. It wasn't intentionally, he was at my back and patients detested him. Thus he pushed me forward to take the opportunity to swim.

I wish to meet this teacher hoping he would help me swim despite of my ear problems. I had my chance back in the elementary, but I was too afraid to stay inside the water. If i hadn't gone out, i could have been swimming right now.

I've been swimming since I was a baby, and so have my sons. Both sons were lifeguards, and one taught an adult how to swim, as director of the pool at a country club. Love your photo!!!!

at my age, I still do not know how to swim. that is why when we go to the river, I just stay in the shore better 'pa nga' if I have "TABO" na lang eh I make 'tampisaw' only.

id like to believe that i do know how. i can float like a pro though haha.. i wasnt trained by anybody, twas all by myself.

That is great to know! Thanks for giving me a hope on that. Most of my friends who know to swim are those living beside the rivers or seas and I really envy their ability to play under the water. I know that swimming in a good form of exercise too. I would like to learn it in the near future.

I learnt to swim pretty late but could just manage in the shallows.

My oldest sister enrolled me in a swimming summer class when i was still very small. I enjoyed swimming but i was not very good but now i am afraid to go swimming in the beach. I hate having sunburned skin now. I used to suffer severe sunburned skin on my back and face after swimming in the beach.

I can float and can swim a bit also , but not much . But i enjoy swimming and floating at the swimming pool . That's an infinity pool of what resort , my dear ? Nice place to have a vacation .

Do I ever. It comes naturally to me friend. If on some days I cant walk so good, I can always swim. That is really inspiring for sure about that blind lady.

i am 24 year old and i have practiced swimming in previous year, now i can safely say that i can swim although not a very good swimmer i intend to continue my practice this year too , but i am not getting any chance

That's great. Despite the age and disability, she's still motivated to learn how to swim. Amazing. I learned how to swim when I was in elementary school days. I'm not really sure at what age exactly but I learned because of our constant summer outing back then. Among my siblings, I was the one who learned first. I can swim no matter how deep the water is. I can swim fast and can compete with my friends but not fast enough to join a swimming team. Learning how to swim is an advantage especially on emergencies.

I have not gone for any proper swimming classes, but I always wanted to learn how to swim, so I asked my friends to teach me whenever there were chances for us to go to the swimming pool. That's when I was about 17 or 18 years old. Now, I can at least swim a little bit without drowning, and I really enjoy the feeling of swimming, it's so relaxing and comfortable. Yes, I think we can just learn it at any age. It's never too old!

I've been able to swim since I can remember. I think my mom started lessons with us around 3 or 4. My sister was an absolute fish, she could swim rings around most of the kids her age by 5. She started swimming competitively about 10 and continued to swim competitively until she was out of high school.

I don't know how to swim. I lack that skill. I think I have to learn it. i know some people learned late things in their life. i am one from them lol.

That really is inspiring. I never was taught to swim when I was young. My Mom and stepfather couldn't swim either. I always wished I could learn as it always seems like it is so much fun.

I love the water! I am not good in swimming but I can swim somehow though I have hesitation in open water because of its current. I learned it when I was in high school I think.

Yes, I know how to swim when I was still 5 to 6 years old, when my older siblings went to the river to wash our clothes, I go with then and they taught me how to swim.
