I used to compete, I was in the swimming team in uni too. Basic skills is needed because I love the beach. Maximum I can teach my partner since I was a swimming instructor.

I know how to swim and for his safety from my family I'd rather that my partner knows how as well.

I like to go to the pool in the summer and know how to swim (though I'm not the best at it; I just know how to stay afloat and can move around a little, lol), but I usually don't go in areas deeper than my neck. It wouldn't bother me if my partner didn't know how to swim and I wouldn't force him to.

CarpetDenim · Answer

Not really. I enjoy hanging out with people at and in pools, but I don’t go there just to swim. Mostly just because it’s a fun group activity to do, and a pretty fun setting for dates tbh.

Kaneki05 · Answer

Cannot see myself ever needing to swim. Appart from in a pool but i am 6ft so normally i can stand or just float.

I learned how to swim when i was kid kinda forgot how to. so i can swim but not greatly probably would swim better if i tried. And no this would never be important to me. That's like the same level as does your patner need to be able to ride a bike.

Jaws is cute.

musicbrain5 · Answer

I honestly can’t swim and what I can do, I can’t do well. My husband can swim. I’ve tried and tried for many years, since I was a kid. I just can’t grasp it and I have massive anxiety going further than waist deep in water. If my feet can’t touch the bottom, I panic. 😞

Ripper_E · Answer

Yes.
It's only important in the event that they fall in water and there is no one around. Even if there is, better to not rely on the decency and kindness of another person.
However, as a partner, it doesn't matter. It's just a useful skill to have.

Mary6048 · Answer

Why does my partner need to do everything I do haha, If he can't but wants to learn it i can teach him but I don't need to share eeeeeeeeeeverything with my partner

Jjpayne · Answer

I doggy paddle 😂 but I'd say it's an important skill for safety. I'd hope they can at least be able to stay above water. But it's not a deal breaker if they can't

moonpie89 · Answer

I can't swim but I like being in water and doing water activities. I've tried learning but just couldn't get the hang of it.  It's nice to have a partner that can save me if I drown.

AndrewMG · Answer

I'm a very very average swimmer, I'm pretty decent at most sports, the exceptions are those that involve water or motor engines... those two things are my sporting kryptonite lol

IslanderSparkle_Siki · Answer

I do swim, I live on an island and I go to the beach very often so my partner better know swimming.

itsmyownname · Answer

It's important that he can swim and doesn't sink like a rock 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don't want to save him/her

Elliegirl · Answer

I swim some. It’s not important if my husband can swim or not. He can. It might be a little difficult if he couldn’t since we have a pool lol

Aislin9 · Answer

I'm a really good swimmer, it wouldn't matter if my partner couldn't swim but it would be fun to compete (I'd win).

Anpu23 · Answer

I do swim, and haven't really thought about it as a relationship issue. I'm fairly sure most women I've dated swim but for some it never really came up. So no it isn't a deal breaker.

Mehzmeh · Answer

Yup like a orca. Lol. It's very important. Even though I could save her. I would like to know she would be able to swim If I, wasn't around. Lol
