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.

So now "we" are not only asking questions in the subject line but now we are just repeating the question in the comments? Wow what laziness :bad: 8)

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.
