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.

No I can not swim and am scared of trying. When I was growing up there were no pools to go to

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.

I am so sorry she did that, that is so sad :(
