    Just as the title says, can you swim or do you sink when you try to?
    For me, I can swim ;D

    Can only swim on my back. Try the belly styles and sink. Can't tread water. Generally stray from public swimming pools.

    The only way I can sink is if I let all the air out of my lungs.

    I did that once and couldn't float back up. Had to swim really hard to reach the surface, while running low on blood oxygen fast.

    I couldn't sink if I tried :( I try letting all the air out of my lungs but I still just float there, it's frustrating. Especially when I'm having competitions with a friend to see who can stay under water the longest. He always wins as I can't keep myself under water without floating to the bloody top!

    I used to have a lifesaving certification back when I was in high school (that I haven't bothered to renew since starting college XD), so that should answer your question.

    I didn't qualify for the swim team in high school because I can't pick up enough speed, but I've got pretty good stamina in a pool. In my prime, I was able to do twelve laps around a standard-sized pool without stopping to rest. :P

    I learned to swim this year. :3 I'm not exactly fast, and I doubt that I could survive if left alone for hours in the water, but it's still an achievement for me. XD

    I'm just like a fish in the water, haha. Swim, sink, float... I always liked it.

    I'm aquaphobic but I'll mope around on the surface if you make me. I am actually a good swimmer, I think like riding a bicycle it's something everyone should get the chance to learn as a child, but I obviously wouldn't want to anymore, personally.

    I'm a decent swimmer, and took several years of lessons when I was younger.

    I can swim. Kind of. I was never taught any fancy techniques, but I can flop around pretty well, I'd think. Although I'm sure I can just as easily sink if I want to...

    I usually sink when I swim. I can only really swim in the shallow end of the pool (No, I don't use the baby pool before you even think that xD).

    I can swim, but I like to sink on purpose :D
    -random high fives.-

    Well I never learned, by a teacher atleast i failed swimming lessons o.o
    i sinkish in pools but i can mostly float on lakes/saltwater.

    My "friend" pushed me where i couldnt touch so it was sink or swim for me. and that practice. get pushed, swim back, bak down,swim again. or some long the sorts.

    ok i can float, but that you see people swin with like backstroke and all that stuff i cant do. i have my own way. its called try to stay up and not drown. (well thats how i learned..)
