I can swim from one part of the pool to the next. But I suck at just floating around lol sounds dumb but it's true. Can you swim and float?

The neighbors who lived across the street from us when I was growing up had a pool. I learned how to swim at an early age.
By 10 or so, I would swim far out into and even across lakes when we went camping.
In my early teens I started body surfing, then belly boarding. I finally started learning to surf when I was 15. That was before ankle tethers so, if you lost your board, you had to swim for it.
When I was 19 or 20, I took a canoeing class in community college. A prerequisite was to swim from one end of their Olympic-size pool and back while fully clothed. I thought, "Pffft, easy peasy."
I jumped in wearing Levis, a T-shirt and sneakers. By the time I got to the opposite end, I was winded. I had underestimated how hard it would be with swim with clothes on. So, on the return trip, I rolled over onto my back and floated a couple of times to rest.
I thought I might get disqualified for cheating but the instructor passed me. Then I realized that I had actually done something good by showing that I knew how to float instead of drowning.
I also learned how to dive and have dived off of cliffs into lakes and oceans.
Yes, I've always been a strong swimmer, and I was a lifeguard one summer, some 35 years ago.
The next year I moved to the Central Coast area of California, and I lived half a block from the local beach, so I spent most summer days in the ocean before going to work in the afternoon (waiting tables). You have to be a good swimmer to survive in the surf in the ocean, because when the waves are up, they will pound you and roll you.
It is, but a boogie board is even better, and they're cheap and nearly zero maintenance, unlike a surfboard, which is much larger, more fragile, and require upkeep.

Girl, you bettah stop.. Winning and then acting like a Femme fatale.. Gotta choose one.. 😂😂..

That's true you certainly do.. 😌👌.. And Okay okay stop making me blush.. *Ahem* I'm too manly for all that.. 😂..
I almost drowned when I was first learning to swim. My father was the one who taught me and he was very strict. At the time he used to tell my mother, "Let him drown. That's the best way to learn." I was still shocked and told him, "I'm going to die. I'll never get a chance to learn."
Funny memories lmao
But I am very good swimmer lol
I think I'm an okay swimmer. We learn it at a young age because we live in a river delta. Way to many foreigners die in our waters just because they can't swim, panic when bitten by a jellyfish or are not strong enough to survive a rip current.
If you feel you are not a strong swimmer, you might like to get some lessons. The ocean can be a dangerous place. And that danger can starts right at the beach.
Enough…
Nice, tether it to mine and we should be safe. Or if we go down, we go down together
🌊💪😵🌊💪😵🌊
I can swim a little, I’m just saying don’t Jack-and-Rose me if it came down to it. Both or none, don’t do me like that lmao
Pffftttt, yeah, ok…. I’m not Leo, you’re letting me sink like a stone…. and the last thing I’ll see is your corpse-like zombie hand waving goodbye at me😒😒😒 I don’t trust you one bit….🤨
Ok, fine, you win. Do you have I stick I can grab? That zombie/leper hand might straight up come off if you try to pull me up, and then I’m back on the bottom with The Heart Of The Ocean🥶💙
Gahhhhh, ok, fine🤢
Thanks, you saved my life! I owe you one…
*starts singing Celine off-key*
Yes, I grew up swimming in the ocean. That makes you a strong swimmer very quickly.
Nope. I flunked the minnow test at the Y when I was 6. I can stay afloat for awhile and do the breaststroke, but that's about it.
I can't really swim. I'd still need a floaty when I go in the water.
Just go to Walmart and buy their floaties.
I feel better in water than on land. I can swim, float, dive, whatever...
@7Phoenix7 we have plenty of lakes around Berlin and in Berlin, all so clean, you can take water for drinking, we will swim all your stay :) We can rent the boat and sail close to Potsdam and watch historical buildings
I Once Swam Half of a Lake With my Cousin''s Raft Near me. lolxxoo
I was a competitive swimmer in high school & college.
I have lived near the ocean my whole life. I have my Senior Lifesaving badge and I am a certified Scuba Diver.
Can swim well. Did swimming lessons as a kid. No issues on my end
Taught me. That was one of the first things when we started getting in deeper water. Treading isn't too bad. My trick is to lean back a bit to keep my head above the surface and move my legs and arms nice and easy to conserve energy and go for a long time.
Had tests where I had to treatd 10 to 15 minutes
I can swim fairly well, but floating is hard as I am skinny and have little buoyancy.
Same
Yeah I swam all summer when I was younger, still love to when I can. It’s also the only cardio I have any interest in doing
I can swim ok, I haven't swam in years though as I don't really have a need for it.
I learned to swim at 5 years old but I never knew how to float upright lol, I either swim or I sink
Yes, but I was better in my 20's. I don't swim enough now.
Yes, even though I can't float on water like most people. If I put air out of my lungs I go instantly down like a brick.
I'm not competing in the Olympics, but I get by...
I wasn't, as a kid but, not long after we got the pool in the back yard, I got around in the water like a dolphin.
yes, it's my favorite thing to do in summer.
Yes I swim very well I learned in the military. Plus I love the water always have.
Your so welcome
Swimming is my hobby, although I am an amateur at it still after having done so multiple times. I could use some training to get better at it.
I’m a pretty good swimmer. I’m not a fast swimmer, but I can swim a long time and stay on the surface
Actually, I would like it, it would be useful because I am disabled, but there has been no support lately.
I used to be a really good swimmer as a teen, I've swum upwards of a mile, but I haven't done any real swimming in probably about 20 years
I know how to swim. Am I good swimmer? Hopefully if the need ever arises I will survive.
Absolutely I'm a great swimmer.. I grew up by the ocean
I'm good, my technique isn't perfect but my strength is there
I can float but not really the resillient swimmer I can swim like 100-200m without a stop
I was on my high school swim team. Been a long time since I went swimming though.
I do not belong in water. At all. I'd just die.
I think I am 😊
Not afraid, but I do suck.
Not well. I’m pretty dense.
We should get together, on a beach, and not swim. 😂
I'm not a great swimmer but I can't swim in many places. As I can't be near chlorine much.
I am part fish
I’d drown right away
Yes. I’m certified and can swim a long way
Nope. But my aunt teaches swimming classes and I was able to learn from her and she tested me
So you know the basics
They do sell floaties for a reason :p
Yes I'm a pretty good swimmer ^^
Not to compete but to survive
Never been a swimmer lol
I don't float naturally
You wouldn't have to worry. I'd hold you up lmao
I would take the plunge and simply walk you wear you need to go ;)
Yes sweet. I dont get anything out of holding onto a gorgeous woman's body in the pool lol ;)
That's fine ;) i'm 6'4"
Are you scared to get wet?
Good because i'll be keeping you wet the entire time
Are you a one piece or 2 piece bikini girl?
Yes, I'm an excellent swimmer.
Yes, I used to be a lifeguard
Not really but I can swim just not very far
Yes. It’s one of my favorite things to do

I'll show you how...
Trunks or wet suit?
I'll get the best ones I got...
