Oh, yes, I love to swim and always have! When I was a kid, my family belonged to the aqua center in our town and us kids would be there all day, every day in the summer.  :peace: :heart:

Yes but nowadays it's:

No Gym, No Swim!   😏

Don't judge.

 I learned how to swim in a lake as a kid.  I didn't swim for years except to take the kids swimming at the city pool.  Splash and float; teach them how to go under the water, go down the slide and off the boards. 

Then, I started to swim for me as exercise.  I progressed to swimming a mile a day every morning,  then I taught deep water aerobics.

It's been years now since I've been in the pool.

Yes, when I was a kid my father took me to a pool for swimming lessons.  Haven’t been swimming in years.

Nah. Yo' boy can't swim. Plus with that fear that my mother instilled me at a young age by putting and holding my head underwater for a while, I'm in no hurry to overcome and learn how to swim.  :'(

Yes, I can swim.  I was forced by my parents to take swimming lessons at the public park pool every summer as a youth until I mastered all the classes. We lived about 10 minutes from the Ocean as well, so everybody in the neighborhood took those city offered classes.

Nope I can't swim. I almost drowned at Bible summer camp when I was 12 years old. I'm scared of water. The most I would do is put my feet in but that's it.

No.  I can swim better under water than I can above water.  I can do the backstroke.

Yes, my mom made me take swimming lessons, because I kept having close calls as a young child. Apparently my dad had jumped in the water fully clothed to save me from drowning several times. I'm not a great swimmer, but at least I can stay above the surface now.  :)

I wish I knew how to swim, I am too old to learn now because I am afraid of the water,

not learning to swim is one of my biggest regrets. I had a scare early in my life and was always afraid of water. I made sure my kids could swim

I took swim lessons as a kid, but haven't really tried since. All these years later I doubt I could still do it.

I am not a Swimmer but I can swim. I don't feel comfortable enough to do laps or to attempt to safe someone, but I can safe myself and enjoy enough of the water knowing that I should not drown, but I did make sure my girls learn how to swim very good.

I learned how to swim in high school by just jumping in 8 feet water and coming up.  Before doing that i had never swam.  My teacher was not too happy with me LOL.  I used to jump in the deep rivers and loved it.  I made sure all my kids were taught to swim.

I can swim a little.  I have a lot of respect for water, especially since my grandson drowned on Easter Sunday.  I haven't been able to get in the pool since.

Yes I can swim, but try to avoid the sun as much as possible since I have blue eyes, auburn hair and freckles. Being Irish is rough. I burn terrible.
