How Well Do You Swim?

I almost failed in my swimming class. I can only do tredding.

I hate swimming. The feeling of getting wet except in a shower is the grossest feeling. It had to be over 100°F before I’m hot enough to try to cool off in a pool. I taught myself to swim when I was 7. We had a pool.

Lifeguard lessons at 12 ! I went to swim school at 14 . And the swimming instructor told me she learned to swim too late too - at age 5 . I can float and go from one end of the pool to the other, but I'm can't swim underwater for some reason. I hope you can make it to the ocean sometime !

I know how to swim just not very well. I'm sure my kids know how to swim away better than me.

I could just about barely doggy paddle. Mostly I have swum in pools with a helping adult ring around the waist. Of course, the best thing was when we had that little pool in Latvia for the hot days. Now I doubt if I will ever swim again but that is all right,

I am terrified of water which was a shame when we lived in Hawaii for almost four years! The smell of chlorine sends a slight panic through me.

I used to be able to paddle around in a pond but haven't been in anything deeper than my bathtub for too many years.

I would say pretty well, but there are only certain strokes that I like. I also don't like to have my head underwater like in terms of changing directions for instance.

I do know how to swim but not very gracefully. Still I could survive a bit of boat disaster not that I wish to be in one.

I do love the water also, but cannot swim as a certified professional. My mother used to enroll me in swimming lessons, usually 2 or 3 sessions, each session would last for 2 weeks, during the summer holidays when I was a kid. Other than that, my best friend and I could usually convince one of our mothers to drive us into the town close by on really hot days for a couple of hours of swimming in the outdoor public pool. I do not like to swim in the lakes, and have never been near the ocean to dip my toe in there so I do not know if I would enjoy it or not.

I swim like a rock my friend, I am on the bottom of the pool in no time.

of course I know how to swim. I grew up spending summer days swimming in the ocean.

I do swim. I’m not the best swimmer but I can stay on top of the water I enjoy swimming.

When I left the Army I became a life guard. I am a good enough swimmer. Not sure I would be any good at life saving now.

No, was always afraid.

I still have to learn

Mom had us take swimming lessons when we were kids, so I can swim, but have not done so as much as I did then in years. I have wanted to get back into it, and would have to do that at a YMCA, but I did not know how close I was to one until recently. I can walk to it, so I will join soon. I am waiting until there are fewer chances for ice and snow.

I am wondering. If you ever learn how to swim. Then a few years not swimming, will you still able to swim after that?

I can't swim, and I don't like playing in the water. But don't worry, I'm always taking a bath.

I can swim but I have no idea if its happen in middle of the sea lol
