My problem with swimming is that I can do the movements like an athlete, but I just cannot float... problem is, With me being so light, I don't displace enough water, so I hit the water and carry on going down...
I went to "Swimming School" when I was seven, and then I started training my technique. I swam for about ten years. And now I'm a swimming instructor for 4-7 year-olds. So the answer is "no".
This is actually one of the very few things I'm really good at, I learned how to swim at about age 4 and since then I've always done it. I became a lifeguard a couple of years back and have been a swimminginstructer for a year now.
I haven't been swimming in absolutely ages...
I was taught on holiday. Well, more like they threw me in the pool and said, "swim to me Emily, swim to me!" then I was taught properly in year 5.
I'm okay at it, I usually swim near the edge at the deep end though.

Yep took swimming lessons when I was small. I rather enjoy it, well as long as it's a pool. Swimming in the sea where you can't see the bottom just freaks me out. As long as I can see the bottom though I'm all good and actually like diving and swimming around at the bottom more than swimming at the surface.
Voted no, but that's not a big deal, since it meant more time rubbing sunscreen into the supple skin of surfer girls as a teen. Pretty odd that I never picked it up though. Growing up I always figured that fat people floated better than skinny, which made it a factor since I was a twig (I can't say I was a bright child either).
I just knew how to swim, maybe my parents took me when i was little but i can't remember anything past 11. I can swim to quite deep depths and hold my breath for a long time.
Pretty good swimmer as I was on a swim team back in high school and my brother taught me how t swim when I was like seven or eight, nearly drowned me too.
I have swam competitively for as long as I can remember, and "specialize" in the hardest stroke.
I learned to swim shortly after I almost drowned to death at the age of 5. Now I'm good enough at it that with a bit of training I could probably be a lifeguard, at least according to the swim instruction program I was in.
