Do you know how to swim?

Asked by msh (4270points) December 14th, 2015 from iPhone

Do you know how to swim?

No’s- Fear or not an option to learn?
If you had a chance now, would you learn?
Have you been anywhere you’d love to swim if able?

Yes’s- Dog paddle or Olympian?
When, where, with whom- did you learn?
Is there anywhere you would Not swim?
When is the last time you went swimming?

Since the earth is ever-changing, and made up of mostly water, should learning be made a prerequisite to, say, graduation? (Ours was!)
Or driving a car? ( you never know what could happen when out after dark.) If afraid of different types of swimming areas, what would it take to help you far enough to know how to swim-basics?
What if access to swimming was no problem?
Is the reason to stay away from swimmimg due to the water, or does the criticism of body-shaming come into play?
Just thinking…..and wondering….
