Can you swim?

How many TSRians can swim? If you can't why not and do you plan on getting lessons?

Honestly, if you can't swim you're kinda limiting yourself from all sorts of activities. It aint a hard thing to do.

You might be surprised; I saw some statistics that say that 1 in 5 adults in the UK and nearly half of British children can't swim. That's a hell of a lot of people who would probably drown if they fell into a river by accident
Exactly. Someone's got to teach you at some point. It really isn't difficult at all. Do those stats include the elderly/disabled etc?

I don't get the whole, drowning thing... I'm not a strong swimmer but I sure as hell would be fine if I fell into a lake or river, unless current was high and messed me up in the meantime.

Yes, it is my favourite form of exercise. On average I swim 224 lengths(25 metres) a week.
Yes although I did have a couple of misfortunes in the water when I was young; nearly lost my life once - dramatic but it's true. I could swim in deep water for about 100 meters without losing strength / stamina / contraction or having to rest.
I swim 3/4 days a week. It feels really great.
Whether you can swim or not doesn't matter. Fall into a river or lake and a bug will kill you. By entering your brain and eating it whole.

I can swim; I like breaststroke personally.

I don't swim now for exercise but I know how to save my life in case I do fall into a river.
I can't swim but I am hoping to learn next year after my exams are over :smile:
I mean I'm not good at it, but I can swim. I kinda thought that nearly drowning every time I went into the deep end of the swimming pool was getting old so I fixed that.
I'm the best at swimming. :u:
bish I got to level 7 with my swimming
My butterfly is so pro and you know :cool:
