Can you swim?

Post Reply New Topic

Curious because i can't and everyone i know can.

To save my life I could doggy paddle and float. Low endurance and I didn't learn until nearly 12 years old. Swim classes were very traumatizing for me.

with flippers and floats, yes

I swim really badly, learnt it when I was very small, around 4, but didn't do it again for years, and had to relearn it at 13 because my school has a swimming pool and we had to swim during P.E. classes. I was pretty big for my age so it was really embarrassing learning to swim with really small children.

i can swim very very good i even had some sort swimming trainings in school that where for the most skilld but after i went to highschool i never swim'd again so ill probbely know nothing about it anymore to bad

Yes, I can swim quite well...for short distances...

I used to go swimming every week with friends when i was a kid.
Also was part of the swimming club at that time.
Until i developed an alergy to chloor wich made my body full of itchy red dots.
So nowadays i swim like once a year lol....

i can do short distances and if its ermency ill float/swim on my back lol

I can keep myself from drowning but that's about it.

I love swimming.

I can swim but not very good

I hate swimming and I hated learning how to do it but I can swim if I have to.

Swimming was a phobia for my older son -- probably because when he had lessons at the "Y", he decided he was a great swimmer and jumped in the deep end without my husband being there, and of course, dropped to the bottom like a lead balloon. Yeah, I'd say that was traumatic. He can swim, but hates to do it.

My younger son swims just fine. His swimming movements are not "free" and natural, but he keeps himself afloat fairly well.

I was born to swim.

Yeah, but it takes a lot of effort to float in one place - I wouldn't stand a chance if I was stranded in the water somewhere (I think I've had a dream about that before).

I can treadwater or use flippers. I prefer to use flippers when I can.
I also refuse to swim in water that is too deep/goes over my head.
