    Can You Swim?

    Think most people assume this is something everybody can do. You would be surprised. I never learned how to swim. Something I would love to do. Just one of those things I never even tried in my entire life, thus far.

    No

    They do offer swimming classes at my college though, so maybe I'll sign up for one

    Yup. Parents insisted I took lessons when I was a kid. Said it may well save my life one day.

    Thankfully, never had to use it to do so, but I do swim sometimes as a form of exercise.

    Yeah, we had to learn at school (compulsory).
    My mum comes from a Caribbean island but even she can't swim.

    Not sure. I could when I was a child. Is it like riding a bike?

    Yes, I LOVE swimming. It's hard to understand how someone can't, but I know that is because I learnt at a young age. I personally feel it is an important skill. Going to the pool a few times a week is a major stress release for me.

    Yes, it's one of the few things I can do well.
    I would happily teach anyone here to swim if I could give a virtual swimming class.
