I am a certified SCUBA diver and I have my Senior Lifesaving badge. I used to like to swim a lot but I have a cranky shoulder so it can be painful after a while.

Where I come from you get tossed into the sea as soon as your limbs are long enough to paddle  Everyone swims it’s not optional

Swimming is a fantastic sport that complements tennis well by offering a full-body workout and helping with cardiovascular fitness. I enjoy swimming as it enhances my endurance and agility on the court. It also provides a refreshing break from intense tennis sessions, allowing me to relax and unwind while still staying active. Plus, swimming's low-impact nature is perfect for recovery and injury prevention. 🏊‍♀️🎾

nolabels · Answer

I get by just adequately when swimming, so I don't swim as a sport.

The sidestroke is my go-to when long distances are encountered.

Severe spinal disc degeneration is a major decider of the ways in which I'm able to swim.

I have a backyard swimming pool that I enjoy hanging out in, occasionally actually swimming a lap or three.
As a younger man, I'd swim in lakes and rivers simply as a way to get refreshed from being out in the summer heat while fishing from my boats.

Cheers!

I don't know if swimming is my sport; it is something I've never thought about. I just swim. Bodysurfing might be considered my sport but, again, it's just something I've always done. If there's water around, I'm in it!

DryGermanGuy · Answer

I regularly went swimming for years, at a certain point work came in the way and the habit went almost away. I still enjoy a nice beach holiday with swimming, of course.

Any parent who doesn't teach their kids to swim is an unfit parent. I don't swim as a sport but I do enjoy having a little swim now and then in the sea.

Potteplante · Answer

I know how to swim, just do it poorly - it is nothing I enjoy, the chlorine in swimmings pools fucks my skin up and I don't like the cold ocean.

AviatorTom · Answer

I know how to swim, though I'm far from a competitive swimmer. (Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky have nothing to fear. 🤨) I enjoy spending some time in the water.

bolverk · Answer

Yes I can swim, I learned t a very early age, I enjoy it although my local pool was moved and you really need a car if you wish to use it now and the new pool is a 25m pool not a 50m pool I used to use.

_Highway · Answer

I used to love swimming, I don't do it anymore. I have an issue where I'm prone to infection and swimming in lakes/rivers even pools has a lot of bacteria. I do not want a recurrence of cellulitis or flesh eating disease, thank you.

I can’t swim though I do enjoy going in the pool (not now that it is cold)

Massageman · Answer

I know how, but my sinuses/eyes/ears don't want me to. I can try to swim and keep my head up, but that looks strange and isn't comfortable for my back.

Only if I have face goggles. I can NOT stand water going up my nose and I can’t do that blow out thing. Ugh!

I can swim a little, but not well enough to compete or something. I can keep my head above water, though, which seems the most important thing to me.
