1. Yes I can swim. I also spent many summers (and winters in college) as a lifegaurd, where they taught us
2. People drown because they panic, and they start flailing and trying to grab onto something, which puts you in an upright position. When you swim, you need to be almost parallel with the water and even when you tread water you're making foward progress. The drowing person can't get the thrusting movement it takes to support themself in the water.
eta: I learned to swim waaaaaaay back in the day. My mom taught those Mommy and Me swimming classes where the kids learn how to do tricks like swim under mom's legs and hoopes and stuff. She freaked out my grandma (who can't swim) by throwing me in the pool one day.
