i learned probably like 3 years ago but haven't swam in so long. Only in pools though i'm not really comfortable swimming in lakes, beaches, etc.

My question for you is: do YOU know how to swim?:shock:

I swim or surf almost every day. I learned when I was 3, which would be...23 years ago now.

Yea, I mean I can't compete (anymore) or anything but I know the strokes thanks to being on the swim team when young. It's like riding a bike, you always know how to do it once you learn.

Yep. When you are technically surrounded by ocean on all sides you will learn how to swim.

Yup, I took swimming lessons (it stops being actual lessons and starts being just building your physique up) for a couple of years. I really enjoy it.

Yep, I went to lessons when I was younger after people telling me "What if someone pushes you into a river? You'll wish you could swim then" all the time. :shock:

I can swim pretty well now and I'm glad I took lessons.

I learned to swim when I was 23. My sister taught me. The funny thing is she was only 14 and could swim like a fish. She asked me for 20 dollars for the lessons and I gave her the money.

I can float without even without trying and its really annoying not being able to go underwater without holding into something, but I can swim though.

Yes I do. I admit I use to go swimming much more in my younger years than I do now, but I do know how to swim and we are teaching our son how to swim currently.

Enough to get from one point to another, although quite slowly.

I take to water like fish 'cept in winter.

I can swim pretty well although I prefer the breaststoke over the crawl. I can also relax my body very well which allows me to float even while my arms are spread out and feet barely moving. Or, I can gather myself into a ball and float on the water like debris and then straighten out vertically and dive towards bottom. Needless to say, I love snorkeling.

Edit: I have problems doing the butterfly. But then, it's mostly a competitive stroke.
