I learned pretty early in life but didn't master it until I was older.

im copying pasting this from my thread i made in a union.

"I hate when people say they cant swim. just jump in to a 12 feet pool and swim back to shore."

I did this over the summer and now im a perfect swimmer.

That's the only time it's good to be fat. When you need to float.

Yes. I don't even remember how I learned, I figured it just came natural to me. I consider people who don't know how to swim somewhat loserish.

That means your muscular. I can swim well, but im too skinny to float. Plus i dont like swimming cause it shows my chest and i dont want people to think im a mutant. When i go to the dells on friday i dont care bc nobody there knows me. But its something that has really hurt my self esteem.

lol negative bouncy? haha what the heck is that? I thought everyone could swim, but I recently met someone who can't, and realized it's ridiculously difficult to teach something as natural as swimming to someone who has no idea of how to do it.

Why, it's a typo; though I was also negative for bounciness at that point in my life, I meant to type "buoyancy". My brain's autocomplete is a little askew today

Yep, I took weekly lessons for about two years. I don't know if most of them could be considered 'lessons' though being as I learnt how to swim within a few months. >_> I strived to get some of the higher awards, though.

I learned how to swim in one of those "swim back to shore or drown" classes my dad gave me. Been doing it like a fish every since.

Yep, although swimming in freshwater exhausts me pretty fast. The last time I went swimming in the ocean I kept going for like 1 hour.

Yup, sometimes I feel like an aquatic mamal I need to be in the water so bad. I started swimming when I was a baby.

I can stay above water but it is a struggle and not very efficient :P I prefer to lay on the beach and only get wet when I get too hot.

Yup yup, I love to swim! Basically I was taking lessons before I had the ability to retain long lasting memories. It's strange seeing someone who can't swim. It feels like a natural human instinct to me.

I know how to swim terribly. That's about it. I am much better at sinking
