I can swim and I taught myself. I was told that I am a very good swimmer, but I havent lately because of what the water does to my hair.

I also love diving boards and deep ends. Its the best part!

Q

Re: Summertime Poll
 

Yes very well actually! Well at least I used to swim very well...i still know the fundamentals of swimming. I used to swim for the DC Department of Recreation & Parks Swim Team for 8 years, prior to quitting at 15 to start cheering :cool:.

That's me exactly!!! My parents just put a pool in a couple years ago and I have no desire to learn how. I wish I would've learned how when I was younger, but oh well...........I just like sitting on the side and getting my feet wet!!:cool:

Me too :o :o Plus I didn't get a "perm" until I was about 12 so my Mom wasn't about to wash and press and curl all that stuff every time I wanted to jump in a pool. Don't blame her. My hair was down my back waaaaaayyyyy back in the day and I was "tender headed"

I do want to learn though and hubby and I are thinking of toddler swim classes for Christopher.

I never learned how to swim using arms and moving head from side to side (like regular swimmers).
I can only swim if my head is under water and coming up for air.
I cannot float just by staying in one location.
I can only float on my back while kicking.

Surprisingly, I did a forward flip in the 6-FT. deep area in a pool on a dare once! After that, I know that if I'm thrown into deep water, I can survive that and swim to safety, lol.

Now, if I'm at sea, that's a different story...

Nope, can't swim.

But I can pose for a picture with my swimsuit next to the pool....splash a little water on me and you can think I went swimming. :D

I splash on the side and immerse my body in the water up to my shoulders...don't want to get my hair wet!!! ;)
