    Yes, I swim. And as a couple others have said, I can't remember when I didn't know how.

    Grew up in Rhode Island, and went to the beach all the time. Lots of lake swimming in New England, also.

    yes and no. I can swim if I'm in a pool or something and think to myself "I'm gonna swim to over there". However if I ever get knocked off of a float or trip over my own feet, I instantly turn stupid. I was in a friends pool once and fell off of a float. I was flailing around like crazy thinking I was gonna drown when she grabbed my arm and said "just stand up, dummy!" it was a 4-foot deep pool and I was a 5 foot tall person. Honestly I just don't like water much deeper than I am so I stick to the shallows when swimming or keep my butt in the boat!

    I took lessons all through my childhood, and I guess I learned the strokes once upon a time, but I can't do them now....I'm confident in a pool and in the ocean up to a certain point, but I am not what I would consider a strong swimmer at all....
