    I grew up in Minnesota. Swimmimng was required from fourth grade through high school.

    Between that and spending most of every summer swimming in the local lakes- yes, I can swim.

    I took to water like a fish as a kid... had lessons but advanced thru them so fast I got kick out of the classes since I was fearless and could swim naturally. LOL ( this was at 7 years old)

    I think swimming is a basic survival skill that every human should know. If you don't know how go down to the local Y and ask about adult classes.

    Spent my early teens in Hawaii so going out into breaks like Pipeline, Sunset, Sandys, good swimming is a must. I must admit I almost came close to death at Pipeline.

    Grew up on the Lakes of Arizona(believe it or not there are more far more boatable lakes in AZ then there are here) been swimming since before I was a year old, I can probably still get my Lifeguard Certifications today at 44, thought about doing the iron man in Boulder even mainly for the swimming, the only question for the iron man is the running portion, I know I could do it though.

    When we moved to Colorado in 86 I took a test to bypass the school districts requirement to have a full year of swimming in order to graduate, the schools swim coach wanted me on the swim team.

    Yeah I can swim pretty good.
