Seriously, how many know how to swim, just enough to save your life?

If you don't know, why is that?

This has been discussed a few times and I know there is a poll on this going back a couple months or so.

I have it down, swam competitively for 12 years. Also I taught swim lessons, and water safety courses through the American Red Cross .. if I drown, we are going down.

I know enough to keep afloat and not drown, but definitely not a swimmer...

i can swim ok , only side/breast stroke so i am pretty slow, but i could stay afloat for a bit , if the water wasn't too cold

i cannot freestyle at all, never really learned how to get the breathing right so i do it with my whole face out of the water which doesn't work
