Sure as hell I can! I'm an Extreme Philosopher, and I learnt it from Thales how to have absolute control on my body when in water.
For those of you not familiar with philosophy, here you go. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thales
Started at 2. My old house had an indoor pool and I used to swim in their. Had some lessons but not many. Now i'm working on becoming a swimming instructor.
I have always loved swimming. I actually went to swimming today. So yes. Yes I can swin I could swim two miles (~3km) but that is my limit with this practise.
Swimming is second nature to me, I consider swimming to be a basic ability all people should have and find the idea that there are people who can't swim completely crazy.
Yes. I even have a license for lifeguard... somewhere... hidden...
OKAY FINE I LOST IT SOMEWHERE!! ARE YOU HAPPY?! Started learning when I was 5 or 6, got license by the time I was 10. Despite being slightly overweight and with asthma.
I used to go to swimming lessons. Got up to the level at which you start jumping in in your pajamas and giving manikins mouth to mouth.
I can SCUBA dive a bit as well. I learned on the barrier reef and that is easily the best thing I've ever done. Like visiting another planet. Contolling your boyancy by how much air you keep in your lungs. You can fly. At 30m you can drink cola out of a can. the pressure keeps it there. I know that sounds pretty unbelievable but I've done it. The coke is flat though cos the pressure squashes the air bubbles. It regains it's fizzyness as you return to the surface and everyone farts. You can see the bubbles coming up from peoples backsides.
