I gave up on swimming lessons, but some friends taught me how to tread water. |

I know how to not drown, so does that count as swimming? |

once you've successfully had a shower, you know the basics. close your eyes and mouth when under the water. lessons were always an embarrassing topic for me. i'm at level 4 and have been for years. Dad put me back to level 2 when I had passed level 3 and 4 in one semester. after that I always got moody about the topic and didn't try anymore. yeah, I know the sayings. I was just really angry. I had passed 2 levels. I was put down 2 levels. but I can swim. I don't drown. still, I don't like getting wet. it's just an icky feeling for me. |

I'm okay. The thing that bugs me the most is having to show off my skinny white bod that you can still see my ribs on at a public pool, but when I did swim alot, I was all right. |

I can swim, but probably not to the point where I can't still drown. Still love the vigorousness, though. |

I can indeed swim. I look a bit froggish doing it, but it works quite well for me. |

I like jumping off the diving board, closing my eyes, swimming back to the edge of the pool, and bonking my head cause my eyes were closed. |

I don't swim "correctly", but whatever it is I do gets me from point A to point B in the water relatively well without dying, sometimes even in heavy surf. |

If someone dropped me in the middle of a lake I'd doggy paddle as far as I could, but it's pretty inefficient and makes you tired quickly. I'd wind up taking a nap. =P |

Well, I took instructional swimming in my single digit years, and I still take it when I'm at camp, and I'm in a lake. I'm decent at it. I just can't front crawl in a perfectly straight line. I think it's better than running, cause you don't feel as sweaty and moist. But my schedule doesn't grow on trees, so I don't have much space to fit in swimming in the week. |

I've always loved water. I even swam in the womb. It was a very nice pool. |

yes i can swim, if you call it that, but its more like flailing in a certain direction. The Joe wrote: I'm okay. The thing that bugs me the most is having to show off my skinny white bod that you can still see my ribs on at a public pool, but when I did swim alot, I was all right. would you rather the alternative?

I can swim well enough not to sink. I remember it took me until I was nine or ten to learn to tread water, though. |

I can swim. Not the way people are supposed to swim, I suppose, but like Inverse, what I do gets me through the water all right, so I guess it works. |

If by swimming you mean wildy waving my arms and legs around, then yes. |

I can swim, just not all those fancy "geronimo blitz double barrel roll three times over jumprope skip caboodle" moves and stuff. |

No, I don't. I mean swimming, not thrashing. |

I learned the basics of swimming the summer after 3rd grade, and I've adored it ever since. I'm not very fast, nor do I have much stamina, but I do it anyway. It is very hard to remove me from a pool after I enter one. |
