I can't swim, and I am afraid of water. I often stay the beach and enjoy the sunshine. But sometimes I will envy people who can swim freely in the sea. They are like free fishes. I like freedom, but I have to stay at beach. I want to learn swim, but I have to pay for expensive expense, so I delete my idea. I have no job in real life, so I have no stable income every month. I have to save money, then I can live a better life.
Now I reached the minimum payout on mylot, but I don't know how to withdraw money from paypal. Can you help me?

There is a withdraw option in your paypal account. You can request paypal to send you a check and there will be a charge of 5 dollars for the same, so it is better to wait for a bigger amount and then withdraw because you will have to pay a fee of 5 dollars for the transaction. If you have an account in a bank in the US, you can transfer the paypal balance to the bank account free of cost.
hope this helps.

My brother and I both almost drowned when we were younger, two different times too, it's crazy, but after that we never wanted to learn how to swim.

Honestly, I dunno how to swin until now. But i do wanted to learn it. Because during outings, I envy those people who are enjoying their swimming skills while I was just sitting there watching them. I use deeper to wet my body and sometimes soak just to get the feel of it. lol But I do wanted to acquire the skills of swimming.

This may sound strange, but even though I was in the Navy for 5 1/2 years, I still cannot swim...lol. The best I can do is keep myself afloat. I was almost drowned when I was a child and have a grave fear of water coming over my head. I am also clotsraphobic, so you know what being under water does to me. I freak out!! Even with all this being said, I love the water, but I am just very cautious of the things that I do in it and how far I go in a pool or in the ocean.

unfortunately, i can't. i think in our family, only my dad can swim. he tried to teach us when we were kids but we didn't learn. i tend to panic once i don't feel the ground/pool's floor under my feet. but i would like my daughter to take swimming lessons so she'll not be like me... when it comes to swimming, that is.

Yes, I can swim. I learnt when I was 12 years old, but anyway I don't dive and also I stay away from deep waters. I like very much to swim, it's my favourite sport.

i can swim but only where my feet can reach the sand or if its in the pool, only on the sides where i can just grab the side of the pool and pulll myself up when im tired. If youre gonna throw me in a deep water...i'd probably drown coz i'd panic.

No, I don't know how to swim. I'm always interesting in learning it but i don't know why i'm not getting or sparing time for it.

no, this is not a fidiculous question.
as for me, this is a good question. i have just post a topic about swimming of my story.
actually , i can't swim.anything i can do in the water is going down without life ring.
when i was a child, my father taught me how to swim but i couldn't do performance well. my father is a good swimmer and also good at teach others swimming.
one day, i found my ear painful and asked to doctor. the doctor told my father that i was not fitted for swimming due to my ear is quitely easy to be entered the water.therefore my ear have a problem.
from then on, i have never gone to swim again.
today is a terrible hot day, my roommates will go to natatorium which is a huge place in my campus.
it is a pity for me.
hehe.
i feel a little bit upset.

I'm not a good swimmer but i can swim. my first swimming lesson when i was a childhood when me and my friends are gathered to have a swimming. by that time i was so afraid to swim feared to drown the water and no would gonna help me. but my friend told me that i shouldn't be to swim that's only a first time you afraid and you will learn. so with his powerful convincing approach i'm now able to swim although not as good as the others but i can swim now. the lesson that i've learned that i should not be afraid of water and relaxed and be courages to face your fears with these you will be able to do what you want to be...

I can swim. I don't really remember when or how I learned to swim. I have a vague memory of having swimming lessons when I was very young. My hubby can't swim. He doesn't like deep water either. He won't get in the deep end of a pool or dive or anything like that. He stays in the shallow end!

I am weird when it comes to swimming because although I can swim , I often tell people that I can't because although I know how to swim and can swim , I can only swim in water that is not over my head . The minute the water is over my head , I panic and forget what I am doing . I almost drowned a couple of my friends when we were younger and we were jumping off the pyramids , they all told me the water was not over my head and to jump in , the first couple of times I jumped in , I was fine but the next time I jumped in , when I went to feel for the bottom and realzied it was not there , I panicked and almost drowned . I am very nervous of water and have lost two uncles to drownings and don't beleive that I will ever be able to overcome my fear of the water .

Yes I can swim. I learned it on my own once i go with my friends on swimming pool without the knowledge of our parents. I am almost drowned but i find a way to save myself and i did. That's the time i knew how to swim. That was when i was 9 yrs old. I can stay in water for hours before but now, i don't think so, i can easily feel too tired already.

I did learn to swim as a child and was never really confident, it was only as an adult that I actually got my confidence and can now swim well enough to save myself if I had to!
