I was sent to swimming lessons when I was around five. I was too short for the shallow end, but my mom made me go. I was full of despair, since I spent the classes trying not to drown. Luckily, I learned I could spend the class clutching to the young lady in a bikini who was the instructor. I learned to float, and to "steamboat," which was lying face down and kicking your legs. I also learned to appreciate ladies in bikinis. ^^
When I was 9, my dad moved into an apartment with a HUGE pool. I spent the next three years in that pool, and became a fish.
I'm not a speedy swimmer, but I'm very comfortable in the water, thanks to that pool. I love to swim underwater.
