"C'mon and Swim" was performed by Bobby Freeman in 1964. Freeman was an American rock, soul and R&B singer. The song was written by Thomas Coman and Sylvester Stewart (later known as Sly Stone). The song reached #5 on the US Pop Chart.
Do you remember this song and dance? Did you do The Swim?

No swimming for me but I did do "The Twist." 
Sly wrote that song, interesting. A glimpse of what was to come in his career!
A wild video

I'm a little young to have done it "for real", but I have done it to be funny
