I guess most people that are from California know how to swim. It just trips me out when I hear about people drowning because they did't know how to swim !!! Its fairly easy. Dog paddling is very easy !! Or rolling on your back and floating ? I don't know, am I wrong ? If you know how, was it hard for you to learn ?

I want to get one of those south park style plastic surgeries where they turn me into a dolphin so I can swim all day smile I think I learned when I was born.

I love to swim. I don't remember it being too hard to learn. It was either swim or drown basically...lol!

I love swimming. I learned when I was like 5 or so. my dad threw me in the deap end of the pool and he had to save me from drowning. Then I just randomly learned how and in a week or so I could swim fine.

I think it's maybe a little easier than riding a bike but along the same lines... you just need to do it and get comfortable with it a couple of times before you learn. Especially adults who are afraid of the water and can't swim.. it's just a matter of them being in water without pressure of swimming before they get comfortable with it and learn. People only drown from a lack of knowledge of swimming because they panic and things like dog paddle don't enter their brains.
that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

I started swimming when I was still a baby. They say it's natural for infants. But I've met people, even people who fish for a living who can't swim. Crazy.

You are so right !!! Panic is a death sentence...
