I'm a decent swimmer. Can keep myself afloat, do laps and am not likely to drown.

How good a swimmer are you?

Pretty good, I guess, but out of shape. I was one course away from getting my lifeguarding but I wasn't old enough and by the time I was, 2 years later, I'd lost interest. My Dad put himself through university as a lifeguard and had my brother in the water from a very early age. He figures we learned to swim before we could walk. I love the water!

Same here, I'm decent. My dad taught me how to swim.....but I still want to take an official swimmer's course.

I am a pretty decent swimmer.

Yes, how well I do, I don't know...I think if we had more of a full sized pool I could better evaluate my work. I'd probably not even make it the first mile in the Englihs Channel but I'd like the chance to try someday.

Eh, not helpless, not trying out for the olympics anytime soon.

When I was very little I was terrified of the water but my dad (being a champion swimmer and swim coach) was not going to have one of his kids not knowing how to swim. I remember him making it very plain that my learning was GOING to happen and that there wasn't any getting out of it. One day when I was about 5, we went to the beach and I tried to refuse to get in. Finally he grabbed me kicking and screaming and jumped into the pool with me on his shoulder. That day I learned how to float. By the end of the summer I could swim.

I'm pretty good. Not expert level but I passed swim class in school.

I am a very poor swimmer.

Not afraid of the water but I "swim" like a stone.

I am a registered open water Scuba diver, so yes I can swim.

I'm not going anywhere near the deep end, so that should tell you something.
