I can swim. I remember learning how to swim, but I don't remember how old I was exactly. I remember we were getting a pool put in our backyard and on vacation once we went to a lake. I remember holding my breath and going under and opening my eyes. That is the first place I ever actually swam, I was so proud.
But yeah, growing up with a pool in the backyard, there was a requirement to swim. Both of my nieces learned how to swim at a young age. My oldest niece HATED it when she was little. The younger one was (and still is) a fish!!!

But a strange this is...when we go snorkeling I panic when I get out in deep water with my face in the water. I have to have a floatation device.
