No, I don't think it is. My dad showed me how. We used to go swimming alot when I was younger. I belive I'm a good swimmer.
If you want to learn and don't know anyone to teach you.The YMCA does lessons. I think it is important to know how to swim. If you like to be in the water.Good luck!

Well I can say humans often learn to swim in formal swimming lessons. To stay afloat in water, very little action is needed; the human body is slightly less dense than the water. Human swimming involves the use of all four limbs in a unique way to how they are used during walking. [1] Those with lower body fat, and a high center of gravity, have a tougher time staying afloat.[2] The most efficient swimming techniques involve submerging the nose and mouth in water, posing challenges for swimming and breathing simultaneously. People generally cannot swim comfortably without experience or practice, and have on many occasions drowned, often due to panic.
(In simple words) Some times people aren't ment for swimming because of fear and low body fat. Try not to get big though. I hope this helped.

I learned to swim when I was in college. I have 2 incidents that made me afraid of the water ( I went sky diving before I learned to swim). Start learning as soon as possible it really is not that hard and opens up a lot of fun things to do.

It's not hard to learn to swim for fun, but to swim at an elite level like me is one of the hardest physical and mental challenges you will ever face

swimming not that hard to learn. wut u have to do is learn how to float before u learn how to swim. also try to learn how to swim in water that u can touch and see the bottom of. practice ur arm strokes and holding ur breathe. and always go swimming with someone that is a better swimmer than u just incase u r nervous.
