Yes, I know how to swim. Very much so, actually. If I didn't take a break from lessons during the school year, I'd be a swimming instructor right now making some pretty good pay for a 15 year old.

Yup, I know how to swim. I honestly don't remember where I first learned to swim though. o_o; I do remember taking swimming lessons at a summer camp in 1st grade... but I know how to swim before that...

My school has an indoor pool and all freshman are required to take it for half a year for gym. x_x I feel bad for the people who are forced to take it at my school and don't know how to swim...

I think I got up to level 6 and then quit, since I didn't like going every week. (I don't know if they have the same level system outside of Canada... eh.) I also hated that I was like... two times older than all the other people in my swimming classes. x_X;

So, yes, I know how to swim. That doesn't mean I swim, though. xD Eww.

i've known how to swim as long as i remember (if you live in california and can't swim you're like... i dunno... a texan that doesn't know how to brand cattle? ) swimming is a nice passtime.
I believe urban Texans like me will find that statement very condenscending...XD

Well...my summer job last year was as a lifeguard, so I believe that answers your question. XD

Er...not really, for me...

I never learned how to as a child, and while I can sort of swim now, I can't do it very well. And I'll do it only in places where the water doesn't go over my head, since I can't stand going into deep water (I'm partially afraid of it, and get anxious at even the thought of it. I blame bad experiences with pools at a young age for that).

I suppose you could say that I learnt when I was 3, although until I was about 5 I still screamed every time people made me get into the water. *sweatdrop* I'm a pretty good swimmer now, though I can't seem to master butterfly. Backstroke is my favourite stroke, I used to be pretty fast at it.


"One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem, above all other sciences, is that its laws are absolutely certain and indisputable, while those of other sciences are to some extent debatable and in constant danger of being overthrown by newly discovered facts."
Albert Einstein

"What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for men, more admirably high and demonstrative than mathematics."
Benjamin Franklin

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty – a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of paintings or music, yet sublimely pure and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show."
Bertrand Russell

I can swim okay :) I used to belong to a swimming club which was fun! I had to swim with a broken arm once (we didn't know it was broken at the time) and I looked ridiculous! XD
