Drive or Swim?

If you could only do one in your lifetime would you choose;

Learn to drive?

or

Learn to swim?

I'd probably spend more time on Board's posting and answering stupid questions.

Well there’s no point driving to the swimming pool if you can’t swim. Swim it is.

Why not walk or cycle

Learn to swim then learn to drive.

Two skills that will help you get through life, with learning to swim being the more important of the two.

I've found driving to be far more useful.

Really? Most people drive much more often than they swim.

Yes if I'm out in a boat and end up in the water learning to swim is suddenly the most important thing in the world but if you ever look at those risk matrix yokes, it's severity of the risk vs likelihood of it happening. Plus add to that, that it's generally strong swimmers that drown.

children born today will never drive in the future so let the punks learn to swim

Well I have done both so it makes no difference to me but if I had to choose then it would be learn to drive. I am not really a water person. I was when I was younger but do not care for it now.

Do both and do it young.

Once babies have their first stage inoculations, they should be swimming. It's the biggest favour you'll ever do for them.

Swimming is handy for avoiding drowning. On the other hand, you can’t swim to the off licence so I’m gonna go with driving.

Mr. teddywinkles · 22-06-2021 1:31pm

If ya were meant to be in water yad have gills. So driving has benefitted me more

Drive.

Quite happy to flop about in the pool, not actually doing any swimming.

Bobblehats · 22-06-2021 2:39pm

Haven't seen a pool in years, I have a bath riitual where I get a few strokes in

Gregor Samsa · 22-06-2021 3:24pm

You can drive into the water, but you can't swim onto the road. I think it's pretty obvious which one you should learn.

Absolutely, I totally agree, but driving is also handy if you want to go somewhere.

Suppose. There are alternatives, what about them mobile lampposts seen to be zipping about now? Walked into my share but I never had one come at me like that. Wits about ye…

I remember that time my boat was sinking and I saved everyone with my driving licence.

Greyfox · 22-06-2021 7:45pm

Definitely learn how to swim, all the costs involved with driving make it a complete rip off.

Hamsterchops · 22-06-2021 8:17pm

When you're on holidays in the Med or the Canaries do you drive or swim? Lovely warm sea just waiting for you and all you can do is drive a stupid car

Learn to swim & enjoy your holidays, attract the opposite sex with your swimming prowess, swimming is so exciting and it keeps you fit ... unlike driving which makes you fat.

ILoveYourVibes · 22-06-2021 10:39pm

Swimming can save your life ....you can just get the bus

Vowel Movement · 23-06-2021 12:09am

It would have to be learn to drive, sure you could use an inflateable at the pool and be happy out

Drive or Swim?
