It is a complete bummer your unable to swim. ;(

Because swimming is awesome! I, of course, know how to swim. I'm quite great at it actually... everyone tells me to try out for lifeguard, but I don't want that kinda of responsibility XD


So yes, I swim just fine. ;D Though I know some people that can't. =/

Sure can!

Not to brag, but I can do the length of a standard sized pool in less then a minute. (but I'm out of practice, sadly.

I can swim, and I body-board pretty well, so... ermm... yup yup.

It's been long but we can do it; let's make this our dream

Look to tomorrow because it's all we have. Turn up the music until the walls shake. What do we have?
Is it hope? Love? Is it nothing at all? We won't know at all until we make something of what we feel.
When that happens, we'll find the truth. We'll find what we want. And we will find ourselves, finally.

No. Not at all. Deep water scares me, since I cannot control what I'm doing, and I cannot feel the ground.

Yeah, I can swim perfectly fine both on top of and underwater. I took lessons when I was younger, but just playing in our pool got me where I am now.

I can swim, since my family used to toss me into the pool since I was a wee toddler. And I also took a few lessons at school. I can't do any fancy strokes while swimming, but there's a less of a chance that I could drown because I don't know how to swim.

I just really don't like swimming, since I only swim in pools, and I hate being contained in the pool. I do enjoy swimming in the ocean, however.

Yes I can swim. I learnt to swim before I was five and was a member of my local swimming club. It took me like forever to learn how to dive, I just couldn't get it together but one day it just came and I was able to do it. I only did competitions up to 50 metres, 100 metres just seemed way too long. But I did eventually get the sticker saying I had done 1500 metres that was nice. Also did some competitions for the region, but I wasn't that good and at my local club I was always swimming against someone that was better than me, but that was ok you got to use it. I also liked backstroke and breastroke and could never get into Butterfly. I did like medley events too.

I believe swimming to be very important and I do not understand why some parents do not teach their kids to swim. They don't need to be great at it, but all children really should learn to have a basic swimming ability. Because, you never know what could happen. And do you want to be pushed off a boat and not be able to save yourself? I also believe people need to at least learn how the sea works because theres a big difference between swimming at the pool and swimming in the sea.

I can sort of swim; I guess I'll say I can swim enough to have fun in a pool. I've never taken proper lessons, and I probably look really weird when I do it, but I can to some extent. I have to plug my nose and close my eyes, though. XD;;

I'll make a proper signature when Pokecommunity gets a proper slogan

I used to go swimming quite often and had swimming lessons too, so I'm reasonably alright at swimming.
