Question

My dad built a pool for me and my bro. Since then i strated to swim when i was 10yo kid. And i invited my friends on the weekend to swim together pretty often.. time flies and i got busy with school and my bro left home cuz he went to college.. so i didn't swim that much again..
Back when i was in college, my besties invited me to swim, i meant its been years im not swimming anymore, thought i was forgot how to swim. Day one swimming was good but meh, but day by day we swam a lot, its not that bad tho.. the more i swim, the more im good at it, like sharpen my skill.. so yeah i know how to swim, just not an expert

Yeah. thanks to the pressure of some white lady pressuring the fuk out of me to little me being annoyed with her. Then when i swam without her watching me, I swam perfectly. Human minds are amazing. It was like a weight taken off my body.

I am no Michael Phelps but I am pretty damn good. I once was in the ocean and my life jacket got stuck and the of the googles somehow got stuck and I hit to quickly lift off. I ended up having to swim back to the boat in our group about 80-90 feet away with one arm with some small tidal waves coming though. So yeah I am pretty good. Cause the one arm was caught stuck in between my shirt and the life jacket shifted towards that side and trapped my left arm and came off.

Yes I grew up on a lake, so we were in it all the time.

Plus we took swimming lessons and I made it to lifeguard.

Never did anything with it, there weren't any lifeguards in our area.

I'm on the dive team on our fire department.

We have 5 lakes in our jurisdiction, so every so often we need to respond.

sirderpsalot123 · Answer

Well enough to not drown. I don't know what age I was when I learned how to swim, but it took longer than most of the kids I knew because I was afraid of water. I remember going to a lake and everyone left me to swim in the deep end, I felt left out so I taught myself (sort of) in the moment, lol.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I learned at age 8 when I was lying on my back in the tub and realized I was floating. I love swimming, it calms me down and makes me feel shower relaxed.

humanearth · Answer

Yes, bur I'm no fish I have weak swimming skills, I technically can swim, but have I don't have enough skills to save a life. I pretty much do what I can just to keep my head above water

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Yeah, sort of. I spent a LOT of time in my pool in the back yard over the 23 years that we had it so, I can easily get around like a dolphin but, I don't exactly do 100% well as far as swimming the way you're supposed to.
