I learned how to when I was a baby (Most baby's instinctively know how to swim)...but I was wondering how everyone else learned how to swim.

My mom pretty much took us to the river every day during the summer months, so I suppose I learned from my brother and sister.

I took lessons at a local college since I was about 3, I was actually a decent swimmer. But when it came time to do head-first dives off the edge I just couldn't do them. But over the years I've learned and now I'm on my school's swim team doing flip turns when our gym class does laps in the pool.

I learned how to swim by taking swim lessons and swimming on a swim team since I was 4. I love it now. I'm on my high school swim team and will be captain this year. I also teach swim lessons year round now.

I was thrown into the middle of the pool and told "if you want to live swim!" I sunk to the bottom.
I later learned using floats. I'm still not a great swimmer. I'm scared of deep water .

Swimming lessons at the town beach run by the towns recreation department - then a number of years of swimming lessons at summer camps.

there is not any suited age for gaining knowledge of swimming. besides swimming retains us extra healthful and healthful. in case you sense which you fairly choose to learn swimming right then what r u waiting for? flow forward!

I taught myself at age 18 years old, in a motel swimming pool. Not a smart thing to do, but I was 18 and invincible. :)
