Swim? Can ya?

Sorry for the title, but they kept being taken.

I can, but only on the surface. I was never good at diving. It's also been a long time since I've swam, so I'm wondering if I'll still remember how to, just in case I'm ever on a boat that sinks or something.

Give me a style and I can do it. I used to swim over 2 hours almost every day until our pool was destroyed by a storm. Since then I have joined a local swimming team, but that's currently on hold atm.

My diving isn't too bad, I guess. I can also float, which seems to be a skill a lot of people don't have. :?

I haven't done it consistently in years... but, yes I can swim in a pinch. It's not graceful but I'm not drowning.

I can swim pretty well. I'm not a fast swimmer as my friends on the swim team are apt to point out, but I can swim well enough. I much prefer running to swimming as a form of aerobic exercise.

Yes, I love swimming and I'm very good at it, but I haven't done it in years out of a paranoid fear of dirty water.

I can swim and I enjoy it, especially at the ocean.

When i was very young ( probably 5 or 6 ) my father threw me off the end of my grandparent's dock and refused to help me. I learned how to swim pretty much instantly and have been swimming like a fish ever since.

One time at Lake Blackshear i swam from the designated swimming area across the lake to the train tracks ( roughly 2 miles ) on a dare and got picked up by the fish and game wardens on the way back. Was like 13 or something. Wasnt until afterwards that they explained how infested the lake was with gators :lol:

I can't swim.

Yes I can swim, I just dont know how to dive into water properly.

since swimming is a requirement in school where I live, I have no problem with swimming or diving, I find it quite relaxing ^^

Altho diving was optional.

i can swim pretty darn good. I cannot however, tread water.Dman0017

Hopefully, I'm a lifeguard...

I am an excellent swimmer.

I'm sure I don't have the best form but I can swim, dive, and all that jazz.

I don't get what's up with people who don't know how to swim. It's really easy, to the point that I would think it would come naturally to a person whose never set foot in water before in their life. Even if you are unable to swim drowning should still be easily avoidable by virtue of the fact that all you have to do is float.

I can swim and dive. I could dive up to 2 metres when i was 6. :P

Problem is i've got synus problems, which means my nose is blocked almost permanently. As such, if i dive any more than 3 metres my ears starts to hurt due to more concentrated pressure on my ears. So i cant scuba dive too deep, which is one of my dreams since i was a kid. :(

Swimming is one of the few things I'm naturally good at, I just wish I could hold my breath longer.

I do swim better than most of my friends, though I am slow compared to more experienced people

Really how could you not be able to swim? It's one of the easiest things to do in the world. Babies can learn to swim before they learn to walk it's so easy. Seriously if somebody tells me they can't swim the next thought in my head is usually "are they disabled?"

Well, I can float :P

I can't swim very well.

Yup, and quite good actually. :D

Let's put it this way...if I fell into totally calm waters, I could keep myself afloat for a few minutes and/or manage to swim awkwardly to shore (if the shore is only about 50 feet away).

Any other situation, and I'm probably ****ed. I mean, I can technically swim, I'm just VERY bad and inefficient at it. Even in optimum conditions, I waste energy and tire myself out quickly.

And then factor in that I tend to panic if I'm in water that's too deep for me to stand in and still keep my head above water. That panicking ****s me up even more, and that's bad.

Bottom line: in perfect conditions, I can swim. I just can't swim very well. In anything other than perfect conditions, I can't swim.

Yes. I'm actually just a fish who learned how to type.

I'm not that great of a swimmer, but I can swim.

Not well, but to save my life, yeah.

As far as I know. I mean, the last time I swam was about 14 years ago. I'm actually PADI certified, but these days I don't know a regulator from a BCD.
