How did you learn how to swim?

[Anachiwo]

Swimming is one thing that I have failed at woefully. I don't do well in the water and it's one of reason why I don't like travelling by sea. The fear of getting drowned prevents me from learning how to swim. I will keep trying to I learn how to do so.

I am planning to enroll in a school where one can learn about swimming. I feel ashamed to go for a pool party and I can't even swim when others are having fun in the pool.

I learnt how to swim from my peer groups. We all used to go to the stream as kids and that's where I learnt how to swim. I drank a lot of water learning how to swim from them because they weren't gentle at with how they teach you how to swim.

Surprisingly I still haven't learnt how to swim, though I tried a few times but I wasn't consistent enough to Learn completely.

I am definitely going to learn latter on, maybe get a personal swim coach or something of that sort.

I learned at school, also did some water sport when I was 12.

I will be going for a swimming lesson with my friends later today. I hope that I'm mentally prepared for it, otherwise I will not get into the pool when we get there.

I learnt how to swim when I first when for a vacation in my home town, we went to stream with my friend and that was how I started learning how to swim there.

I learn how to swim from a freind of mine who took me to the occean and ask me to dive in for the first time when I do that I was like sinking but he dive in and recure me but after that he teach me how to swim from that day I become an expert swimmer

I went for a swim yesterday and we played pool soccer.

It was so fun. I'm going next week to play again.

Playing ball in the pool is always a unique experience. Although, I won't suggest it for someone that doesn't know how to swim well.

My dad taught me everything that I know about swimming. I look back and I am grateful for that act.

I can't even remember but I think that I kept going to the swimming pool and struggling with the water until I learnt how to swim. I did watched how others swim and try to copy them.

Maybe I should copy this style because I am tired of not being the person that can swim whenever I want to do so.

Swimming lessons in the local pool aged 7.

 

[Kale]

I have never learned how to swim at all.

 

[Cory]

I was thrown into the deep depths of the ocean and swam back to the mainland with the help of a dolphin.

I think I eventually learned myself when I played in the kiddie pool.

 

[Moonface]

I didn't really. I took swimming lessons as a kid but all I can really do is some sort of doggie paddle; any other way of swimming isn't something I can do and I'm hopeless at staying afloat by treading water or that laying on your back thing that turns you into a piece of fleshy driftwood.

The trick is not to do it in the deeper part of the pool. We used the pool that was only 6 ft deep max. It's going to be hard for one to drown in it.

 

[Arantor]

I could drown in a 6ft deep pool since I'm 5'7".

I've never actually fully 'learned' how to swim. Wasn't something I was interested in school, I eventually stopped going to PE altogether. Only time I really do swimming now is when I'm on holiday in the pool or at the beach, and I know enough to keep myself afloat I suppose. 😂
