Title: How old were you when You learned to swim?
Post by: Kiki1992 on December 01, 2011, 04:23:42 pm: How old was I? Well, I don't really remember because it hasn't passed yet! I'm 20 and still don't know how to swim! Is there anyone on the forum who doesn't know how to swim? Or how old were you when you learned to swim?

Starting from around the age of 14.

I was 8 years old. You learn because living here in Fresno...it gets to about 110 during the hottest part of the summer. Can't avoid that heat forever!

Post by: lvstephanie on December 02, 2011, 06:31:54 am: Growing up, my parents had a house with a pool in the back yard, so they had me in lessons at a very young age (so young, I don't even remember!)... I remember my mom talking about some type of infant "swim lesson" and how she was horrified when the instructor wanted the parent to let go of the infant and let it struggle in the water. Some of the earliest pictures of me is me in an inner-tube (with a seat sewn into the middle) with a huge hat over my head to block out the sun. I was my parent's "wasser kind" as they so dubbed me. By age 7, I was already swimming competitively and had continued swimming for sport all through college. Now I like to swim as my aerobics; you still get a great workout, but without the stress on the joints. :fish:

Post by: kay7 on December 02, 2011, 06:43:03 am: I would guess that I was around 6 but I don't remember ever not being able to swim so I'm not sure. I know that I started going to camp when I was 8 and i knew how to swim then :fish: :D

Post by: sommap on December 02, 2011, 10:55:30 am: We spent every summer at our cabin on a lake., so I am sure I learned very early. I later took swimming lessons and fancy diving and life saving. I was able to swim very well until I got older. Now I panic if I try to float on my back. I could probably swim a little, but would get out of breath pretty quick.

Post by: LenoraMinogue on December 02, 2011, 11:28:18 am: I was put into the water when I was still a baby. So I can't remember a time when I didn't know how to swim.
