    xD, me and Dukey were talking about this and I got curious....

    1)Can you swim?
    2)If so, how good are you at it, honestly? If not, why not?
    3)If so, what is your best stroke (ex, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, etc)? If not, would you like to learn at some time?
    4)In general, what is the deepest you'll go into the pool/ocean. 4 ft? 5? 12 at the deep end?
     
    I can indeed.

    I've done Squad Swimming from 10-18 :P

    Freestyle/Butterfly :]

    As deep as I can go.
     
    I can... sort of. I can't swim in the deep end of the pool though. I can only swim in the shallow end. (NO NOT THE BABY POOL)

    No way. ;;

    None?

    Eh, not that deep. I can only go under the water for like 10 seconds. And I can't keep my head up out of the water for some reason. xD
     
    1)Can you swim?
    Yes.

    2)If so, how good are you at it, honestly?
    Nothing special, me.

    3)If so, what is your best stroke?
    Doggy paddle? If you call it that, I dunno. Being aquaphobic I'm more content to keep my head stably above the water than anything else, although I would say it's the easiest way to swim anyway. As one may guess, I don't tend to swim recreationally.

    4)In general, what is the deepest you'll go into the pool/ocean. 4 ft? 5? 12 at the deep end?
    Anything really, just so long as there's a dry surface nearby.
     
    1)Can you swim? Yup.
    2)If so, how good are you at it, honestly? If not, why not? Yes, I am pretty good at it, I took lessons when I was younger.
    3)If so, what is your best stroke (ex, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, etc)? If not, would you like to learn at some time? I guess the backstroke xD
    4)In general, what is the deepest you'll go into the pool/ocean. 4 ft? 5? 12 at the deep end? Anything.
     
    1)Can you swim?
    Yes. I actually learned how to twice. I managed to forget how to swim somehow between the ages of 6 and 12. XD;

    2)If so, how good are you at it, honestly? If not, why not?
    I'm not terribly good, but it's passable in water not any deeper than 20 feet.

    3)If so, what is your best stroke (ex, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, etc)? If not, would you like to learn at some time?
    Well, I guess it'd be either the backstroke or breaststroke, since I really just know the basics.

    4)In general, what is the deepest you'll go into the pool/ocean. 4 ft? 5? 12 at the deep end?
    I personally wouldn't go into anything deeper than 15 feet willingly. I'm not buoyant enough to want to try anything deeper. :s
     
    1)Can you swim?
    yar! :D

    2)If so, how good are you at it, honestly?
    not very, just enough to survive and play around

    3)If so, what is your best stroke (ex, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, etc)?
    breaststroke. cuz it's the only stroke i know

    4)In general, what is the deepest you'll go into the pool/ocean. 4 ft? 5? 12 at the deep end?
    as far as the deep end goes, which is usually like 10ft
    in the ocean, not very far. no more than a coupla feet higher than my height
     
    I hate swimming. I don't like wearing a swim suit. I don't know any strokes, I'm okay at swimming though. I never do it enough to be amazing. And I won't enter a pool at all. I'll definitely skip out on the ocean.
     
    yes
    i think i am quite good. out of all my friends i am the one who swims the fastest.
    i dont know, probably the breaststroke
    i dont really know, i am not afraid of deep water but most of the time i stay were i can touch the bottom. but it depends on who i am swimming with, some of my friends arent very good swimmers but others are like me and cant stop swimming.
     
    1)Can you swim?
    Hardly
    2)If so, how good are you at it, honestly? If not, why not?
    I'm not so good, mainly because I've had only a few lessons and I rarely get to go to the pool.
    3)If so, what is your best stroke (ex, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, etc)? If not, would you like to learn at some time?
    Teach me.
    4)In general, what is the deepest you'll go into the pool/ocean. 4 ft? 5? 12 at the deep end?
    I almost drowned once at the deepest end. It was when I was like 10 or so.
     
    I consider myself a fairly good swimmer. I was a lifeguard during my teenage years. :D

    My favorite stroke would be the breaststroke (or froggy style as I called it when I was younger) and I'm comfortable going into any depth in a swimming pool. The ocean I can pass on though. Beaches around here aren't that pretty and I've been attacked by tentacool jellyfish more times than I can remember. D:
     
    I can kind of swim. I can't do anything really fancy; I mostly doggypaddle everywhere in the pool, which barely gets me by. However, I can float pretty well, and thus going more towards the deep end doesn't bother me. I try not to go anywhere past about 6ft, though, just in case.

    I can't wait until the pool opens up in city park in our town again. I was so bummed that it was closed last summer, but they're building a new one that should be open by July. Swimming is so much fun~ :D
     
    1)Can you swim?
    Yes.

    2)If so, how good are you at it, honestly? If not, why not?
    I think, I'm fairly good at it. :3

    3)If so, what is your best stroke (ex, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, etc)? If not, would you like to learn at some time?
    Freestyle! 8D

    4)In general, what is the deepest you'll go into the pool/ocean. 4 ft? 5? 12 at the deep end?
    As long as there's land, then I'd go as deep as I can!
     
    Hahaha, saw this and was like "I'd better get some credit in this xD"

    Anyways, I'm fairly good. Do times of like..
    30 for freestyle?
    Don't remember the others too well but yeah xD
     
    It's a fact that I hate, but, I don't know to swim anyways~

    But I would like to learn it, I mean I am just 14 man.
     
    1)Can you swim?
    I can swim, I love swimming especially in the sea at the beach.

    2)If so, how good are you at it, honestly? If not, why not?
    I'm good enough to swim anywhere as long as the water isn't too deep.

    3)If so, what is your best stroke (ex, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, etc)? If not, would you like to learn at some time?
    I think i'm maybe best at the Breast stroke.

    4)In general, what is the deepest you'll go into the pool/ocean. 4 ft? 5? 12 at the deep end?
    I've swum to the deep end before, but I nearly drowned ;< I hated that, but deepest it probably depends if there is a rail going a long the side of the swimming pool.
     
    1) Yes
    2) Not very, just haven't practised and swam very much I guess.
    3) Breast stroke, it's the easy one isn't it? But I think I could do the butterfly, (the one with the hands and legs spreading?) before I even learnt breast stroke xD And I couldn't believe I could do it when I finally learnt back stroke, so cool! :D
    4) I'll go? 5ft. That should be about 1ft shorter than me :) Oh, because I'm scared and not very good at the deep end.
     
    Can you swim?
    Yea, I can.

    If so, how good are you at it, honestly? If not, why not?
    I'm okay at it, I took swimming lessons when I was younger.

    If so, what is your best stroke (ex, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, etc)? If not, would you like to learn at some time?
    I have no idea what their technical names are. I guess it'd be backstroke? The going forward on your stomach one. I'm also really good at the doggy paddle.

    In general, what is the deepest you'll go into the pool/ocean. 4 ft? 5? 12 at the deep end.
    I can tread water and keep myself up easy enough so in a pool, I'll go to the deep end. At a beach, I don't really go anywhere over my head. xD
     
    1)Can you swim? Yes, of course.

    2)If so, how good are you at it, honestly? If not, why not?
    I am pretty good. Not super fast, but at least I won't die. ;D

    3)If so, what is your best stroke (ex, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, etc)? If not, would you like to learn at some time?
    I don't know the difference. I just kick my legs and swim? :O

    4)In general, what is the deepest you'll go into the pool/ocean. 4 ft? 5? 12 at the deep end?
    I go to the lake at it can get to like 30 ft. :D

    I can swim yes but I'm not a pro at swimming

    2)If so, how good are you at it, honestly? If not, why not?

    ...I don't know?

    3)If so, what is your best stroke (ex, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, etc)? If not, would you like to learn at some time?

    Um... I don't really have a stroke... I just swim... O.o See, when i swim, my feet have a mind of their own. I have trouble keeping them above the water. So usually I just use my arms to do all the work and my feet can do the work when they find it essential. I know its weird but... yeah.

    4)In general, what is the deepest you'll go into the pool/ocean. 4 ft? 5? 12 at the deep end?

    probably 4 feet... any deeper and I can't swim. >_<
