Can you swim?

I learned to swim at age 9. I took swimming lessons at the local YMCA.

Ahaha, I can swim in the style like the photo above. How about you @MrDenata @Ifa225 @Icydoll?

Lots of people all over the world don't know how to swim. I live in the US and many people thing that all people here know how to swim or if we live near rivers, lakes, ponds, or beach that we much know how to swim. Not true. Learning to swim is something that parents to choose to do or not do with our kids. I kind of learned how to swim but not that well I'm not a strong swimmer. Water freaks me out like I'm scared of it. My mom still tells stories of how I was a baby and when she would give me a bath in the sink, I would scream like someone was trying to kill me. Yeah, still to this day at age of 34 with 3 kids I'm scared of water. I don't like big bodies of water; I don't like the beach unless I'm hanging out in the sand.

That picture is very funny.I learnt to swim from high school. However I am still afraid to go out in the deep.

I don't know how old I was when I learned to swim. My family spent a lot of time in a river near our home... I know nieces and nephews were taught as soon as they could walk so they stood less chance of drowning if they escaped a parent and made it into the water. I assume we were all taught like that. I taught Pretty when she was around 3 years old to swim. Her mom would get in the water but couldn't swim and didn't want to learn.

It is true for those that live near bodies of water, like rivers and beaches. They learn to swim among themselves -siblings, cousins, and friends. What I'm curious about is do people in other countries also do night swimming at the beach. I know people in the province do.

Well enough not to drown and die. I went swimming last month and am too relieved and happy to know I still can float at least. It was my first swim since my leg injury.

I can swim.. But only in my bed You know.. Like a simulation..

No, I cannot swim, I suffer of aquaphobia.

I'm a deep sea swimmer. I learned swimming at age 7.We live near 8 beaches.

I can swim my elder son and wife can swim. But my mother cannot swim.

@sol_cee I am not a great swimmer but can swim somewhat. I cannot remember what age I did not but I do not go in the water when I am at the beach.

I can swim but I haven't swim for almost 4-6 years I guess. I don't know if I can swim again.

I learned swimming when I was 10. I enjoy swimming. I haven't done that since the Pandemic. I may swim again in the coming summer.

I can sort of swim . . . I can float and do strokes, but can't swim underwater and I can't tread water. I took lessons when I was 14 - I hated it - especially since the instructor told me she started lessons late too at age 5 .

I learn swimming around 10-11years old.

I was never a great swimmer, but did body surf in California when I was a teenager. Not a good idea.

I learned to swim early. We lived in the country and swam in the rivers and creeks.

I learnt very young. Represented the state twice

I can swim S, i just learned the proper swim 7 years ago i think
