Can you swim?

Well, sorta. But I will NOT go in a pool where my feet don't touch the bottom, yikes!

sort of

Yes.

Yes, but I'm not the greatest swimmer out there. I don't do the whole head dipping thing because it's too hard on my ears and I still didn't get the front crawl right, although dozens of people have tried to teach me.

How come?

I've never done it before. I don't think I can keep afloat that easily.

Yes/No. I know how but 5-10' is far enough for me

Yes.

Yes, though I haven't been swimming for about 10 years. I was never a strong swimmer, but I imagine I could still manage a few lengths of breast or backstroke, albeit very slowly and with poor technique.

I never learned...Strange as it may seem, I have a big swimming pool in my backyard...I bought it for the children when they were younger. I wanted my children to have the joy of knowing how to swim. I was driven when they were young...they were going to learn to swim, and they did learn how to swim well. I did the same with my grandchildren.

It's really easy (I know it's more easily said than done). I remember my mum could never teach me how to swim no matter how hard she tried, because she always had a fear of water herself and she's an unreliable swimmer. Then when my dad got a hold of me he completely removed my fear of water.

yes i can and i think everyone should learn to swim. i have seen too many near drownings and drownings come into the hospital.

sometimes

yes

Yep, I like to think I can swim quite well, and I really enjoy doing it :)

Okay, can you swim backward?

Not a strong swimmer
a little fearful but I could swim to save my life if need be

Yea, just enough to have fun

Nope.

I'm an excellent swimmer.

Yes

I went on a learn to swim holiday a few years back. Four years ago I think.

Hated it. Hate swimming. But I think I could now, get myself to the side if I fell in some water.
