Yes, I can swim. I didn't learn how to swim until I was 12, although several people tried to teach me. I just couldn't coordinate my arms, legs, and breathing, and a few experiences inhaling water put me off trying. Then, one summer, I decided I was learning to swim - and I did it.

I agree with RACooper. People drown because they panic, or because weather conditions keep them from safety, or because there is some physical reason that they cannot swim. That can happen whether you know how to swim or not.
