The sumner is coming,and we will think about the sea,of course we will swim when we go to the sea.I havn't seen sea and I don't know how to swim.There is rivers in my hometown and I tried to learn swim,but obviously I failed,because I can't swim until now.
I think there are lots people will take lessons if they don't know swim.Now I also want to learn swim because I can save someone if I can swim.Heheheeee...

I know swimming and often visit the pool to beat the heat.It's better than a shower though I don't always get enough time for it even though I am not exactly a couch potato ,lol.
I love the oceans but can't swim that good as to challenge the rising and falling waves in the deep waters.I can manage to swim near the shore and love vacationing at beaches.

Yes i can. But i am not a good swimmer. I get easily tired of kicking ang flapping. You have to first learn how to float. And everything will follow. I don't like to swim on the sea, because of the water, it's too salty that it hurts my eyes. I prefer to wear my goggles. Just try take a deep breath ...inhale then immerse on water.Do not breathe.Do it in prone position. Hold it as long as you can.And when you exhale, let the air pass through your nose. Do it slowly if you can. Just keep on practicing. I know you can do it.

Yes, I can swim. But, there is no place where I am now, to swim. I don't care for it anyways. But, it's a good thing to know how to do. Just hold your breath, relax, and there you go.

hi there chen, I live near the ocean and really love it, during summer, winter, autum and spring. Its so peaceful, refreshing and beautiful to walk along the ocean also to swim leisurely in the ocean. My advice to you is to learn how to swim especially if your going to swim in the ocean, the ocean is full of surprises... Like "Rips" and under toes that if caught in, will take you out to sea... Good luck with the swimming lessons!!!
