Re: Do you know how to swim?
Posted by chikita315
I do - very well, I might add.
I always take it for granted, that everyone knows how. I grew up with a pool, so I've been swimming since I was a baby. But I know there are a lot of adults (my mom being one of them) that don't know how.
I am you!!!!
Swimming like a fish since practically birth and my mom can barely doggie paddle!!!!

Re: Do you know how to swim?
I can just barely swim. I took a few lessons as a child but stopped. DH cannot swim and neither can my 3 sisters.

Re: Do you know how to swim?
Yes I do. I taught my cousins to swim and I was a certified water safety instructor a while ago. I worked at a day camp and taught all ages how to swim.
I love the water but I'm afraid of the ocean...

Re: Do you know how to swim?
No... but somehow I passed pool in high school (the teachers were so oblivious, I walked along the bottom of the pool and pretended to be swimming..)
I was dunked under when I was young by a 'friend' and then once I was dragged into the ocean by a neighbor, and of course the undertow took me away.
Too many bad experiences. If it's a pool, I have to be able to stand up, or in the ocean I won't go in past my knees. DH gets mad because I won't go in with him holding me. Even that freaks me out, and I know he isnt going to put me in harm's way.
Being a non-swimmer, best thing I ever did was Helmet diving in bermuda. It's the closest I'll ever come to snorkeling or scuba.

Re: Do you know how to swim?
Kind of but definitely not to save my life 
Yet my sister is a swimming instructor and a life guard. My parents never had a pool so she couldn't teach me...maybe one day she will!

Re: Do you know how to swim?
I can. I was on the swim team in HS and even made it to state finals for my back stroke. I was also on the Dive team.
My sister and I were put in lessons at Crab Meadow beach when we were like 4 and we grew up on the boat so we had to learn.
I too find myself taken aback when I hear someone cant swim. Specially since we live on an island. I have 1 or 2 friends that can't really swim.

Re: Do you know how to swim?
Yes, I'm a very good swimmer. I've taken lessons almost all my life. Growing up with a pool and boating, knowing how to swim was a must.

Re: Do you know how to swim?
I do-I never remember not swimming & then I took lessons to learn it properly, which I'm not that good at. It was mandatory in HS too.
I never understood how people didn't know how to swim. I don't ever remember learning, I just did.
I guess as adults, its mostly fear & bad experiences.

Re: Do you know how to swim?
yes I do. when I lived in Israel, we used to go camping at Lake Kineret a lot. My Mom told me that my Dad threw me in the water when I was around 2 and I started to swim after a few seconds.
when I first heard the story, Dad got yelled at!

Re: Do you know how to swim?
I can swim but my mother can't. She's terrified of the water and because of that, it was her mission in life to make sure that I wasn't afraid and could swim.
Posted by Shellyesq
I also grew up with a pool and could swim before I could walk. I am a very strong swimmer.
Its funny, to graduate my college we had to pass a swim test. It never occurred to me that at 21, there were some people out there who couldn't swim.
Did you go to Harvard?
