    I for one am a crap swimmer and planning to starting again with adult swimming lessons.

    For an Island surrounded by water I know a lot of people unable to swim

    Yes.

    I am being inducted into my high school's Athletic Hall of Fame in November for my time as a swimmer and water polo player in school/coach after I left school.

    Like a few other things, it's that long since I've done it I'm not sure if I would still be good at it.

    I voted "Like a fish" but I meant like a dead fish in case that matters.

    To quote Berti Vogts, former manager of Germany: 'Even if I was able to walk on water, some people would give out to me, because I was too lazy to swim'

    :D

    I can swim, My Dad who was at Sea for 20+ years can't. Retiring next year, hoping to get him to do lessons. I love swimming and just feel he's missing out on it.

    Like a focking great white OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,659 ✭✭✭CrazyRabbit


    Pretty sure I can swim for the first two seconds or so. Just before I sink to the bottom and drown.

    I'm not sure there's such a thing as not being able to swim. I think you can either swim or you are too scared to do so. It's basically just kicking your legs and moving your arms around.
