How old were you when you learned how to swim? Who taught you? If you haven’t, why not?
I think it just happened really gradually between like 6-years-old and eight-years-old. My dad taught me. I went through a phase one year where all I wanted to do was swim, and I used to argue when someone told me I had to do something else. IIRC, that's what's happening here https://imgur.com/a/rDu9bOd I'm big bitching about having to get out of my grandmother's pool. But soon after that phase, I went through a long phase where you couldn't have PAID me to go swimming.
I think I was brave enough to go to the deep end when I was around 9, don't remember who specifically taught me or if I just figured it out. Does knowing how to stay afloat count?
I was too young to remember. But I always loved swimming and being in the water. Pools, beaches, lakes, oceans, puddles.
At learned it at 14, very late. Mum helped, but the most helpful tips and example was just another girl there.
My grandfather taught me when I was 6. He just threw me in lol but I learned 😊
🙃does knowing how to float on my back count as knowing how to swim?
I was 9. The teacher who gave us kids lessons on how to swim.
I think my dad and/or mom tried to teach me when I was little? And I never really got it? I'm not sure. I also went to swimming lessons once (my aunt took me..no idea why), and all I remember from it was being terrified because they held me under water. The only kind of swimming I can do is some kind of doggy paddling.
