    I don't think enough people saw this.



    This is payback for making fun of me for not being able to swim.

    Well enough for a cardio workout. But I imagine my breaststroke wouldn't even be up to snuff on a high school freshman swim team.

    ROFLMAO. Well played.

    Plenty of time spent in livestock tanks as a kid.

    Even funnier is the fact that my dad just bought a tank and put it in his front yard for when my sisters kids visit him.

    I swam competitively from age 6 to 18, was instructing as a WSA at 13, got my lifesaving cert at 15...yeah, I'm pretty comfortable in the water.

    But now you are much more buoyant!

    I nearly drowned in a pool when I was 4, the next summer I was in swim lessons. Swam a bunch as a kid don't do it near enough now.

    Swimming is easier than most people think. Just gotta learn to relax. Most people panic and sink.

    Most people also breathe all of the air out of their lungs then proceed to breathe very shallow, which destroys your buoyancy. I can swim like a dolphin and my fiancée sinks like a rock every time she gets in water. Despite me attempting to impart this lesson on her, she goes right back to panic mode.

    The hardest thing about my swim lessons was getting out of the burlap bag as it was sinking......

    Default Do you know how to swim?

    Yes.

    I'm always amazed when I meet people who don't know how to swim. Coming from So. Cal swimming is a right of passage. I've met quite a few people in CO who cannot swim.

    My son is starting swim lessons next month. We boat/Jet ski recreationally so swimming is a necessity for our children.

    Got pretty decent during my few years in HI. You get to surfing the right (or wrong lol) spot, and you will need to get good at swimming fast lol
