I was very young when I learned how to swim, but I don't know how old. Our neighbors across the street had a built-in pool. They had four kids. One of them was my age and we were best friends. All the neighborhood kids were invited to swim in the pool.

So, I don't know, I might have known how to actually swim by the time I was 5.

My dad started teaching me how to drive in my early teens. I started by sitting next to him and steering. Later, he would take me to large, empty parking lots to drive and get used to the accelerator, brake and controls.

An uncle taught me to drive a stick shift in his VW bug when I was 15.

I took driver's ed in 10th grade.

I got my learner's permit when I was 15 1/2 and got my license as soon as I turned 16. By then, I was a really good driver.

My first experience of the swimming pool was when I was 5. My dad took me and my mum was watching from the sidelines in the viewing area. I beat my dad to getting out into the open area and promptly jumped straight in at the 4ft6 area.

My Mum screamed as my Dad wasn't out there yet and I didn't think. I just jumped.. The lifeguards all dived straight in after me and my dad came out having seen me in the pool dived in too.

Me? I was having a great time.. I instantly took to treading water to stay afloat. The downside to it though, boy did I get roasted for it!

As for Driving? I was 5 for that too when I started. I sat in the passenger seat operating the gears, and my Dad did the clutch. I was 9 or 10 when I could drive properly (On private property only though)

I think I was 4-5 when I got my seehorse badge.
I learned to drive with 17 and got my license shortly after turning 18 for car. I got my bike license a few months later.

15 when I learned to drive.
I think I was 5 when I learned to swim or maybe even 4 I think.

Driving lessons I began at 18, so probably finished somewhere between 18/19. Swimming goes so far back I can't remember the exact dates. I'd say 8 or so when I got my swimming degree?

2 or 3 for swimming, driving 13 or so (though forgot)

[Nikki1989]

Been driving since 16 and have been swimming longer than I can remember.

1. Around 5 years old, I think.

2. Tractor around 12, maybe, I remember not being heavy enough to engage the brake without pushing up on the steering wheel. Cars on the road at 17, as soon as it was legal.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I think my parents just threw me in the pool when I was a baby so I wouldn't remember that. Maybe you could say always.

I learned to drive at 15
