Looking down on bikini-clad girls all day, I bet you do!
It was a tough job, but someone had to do it.

It was a tough job, but someone had to do it.
I could swim well enough that I wouldn't drown if someone threw me in a deep body of water, but that's about it, so I voted "no". I don't have a clue about the different types of strokes, I just wing it. We had swimming lessons at school but I just skived off of them to get high.
I was around 6 or so. My brothers and sister took me out in the middle of Lake Saint Claire on a boat and threw me overboard with no life vest.
They called it "trial by fire". Guess it worked.
Yeah, that'll do it. 
My parents put me on the swim team, from age 5 until 14/15.
So, yeah, I can swim.

Yeah, I can swim. In the same way I can sing & dance. That is, very badly. I tend not to venture deeper than around my own height in the sea, for instance, and avoid big waves. I'm better in a swimming pool, where I don't need to worry about being swept away so much...
The last time I did any swimming was for a few weeks in Year 10 as part of PE classes. It was kinda embarrassing, the first week, since I was the only person in the group that couldn't actually swim.
And then, much to my irritation, I kept getting comments about it from people during the next two classes that day.
Fortunately it stopped after that, and we only had to do swimming for a few weeks, before moving on to something else.
We were supposed to do swimming again in Year 11, but fortunately there wasn't time in the schedule.

I dipped into the swimming poll (I see what you all did there 
) and voted "yes". Albeit I'm not very good, and I haven't done any serious swimming for a very long time - probably not for 10 years in fact, not since that lovely day in... 
oh, where was I? Oh, yes.
I did take swimming lessons in school, although I remember trying out swimming during pre-school and almost drowning a few times - but I loved swimming. It took me a long while to outgrow my water wings, however, and remain afloat, but somehow I managed to. I even got a swimming certificate - not a great one, but a certificate nonetheless.
I loved swimming - although my strokes were limited to front crawl and breaststroke
[Put it away - someone] which I was at least proficient at, if not particularly fast, but I never tolerated backstroke, and I couldn't do the butterfly. I was also very wary of deep water as I never had the confidence to stay afloat, although later in school I did learn how to dive short depths and tread water.
I haven't been near a swimming pool for years, although I'm sure it's one of those things that comes back to me in time, just like riding a bicycle... underwater.

I learned how to swim as a kid, but I'm strictly a recreational swimmer. All of my kids were competitive swimmers though so I spent a lot more time doing it during the 90s. These days I'm back to recreational swimming with my kids. Since both my daughters were lifeguards I always feel better when I have one of them around.

Welcome to the ool. Notice there is no P in it? Lets keep it that way.
I took swimming lessons for years as a kid, so I damn well better be able to swim! I was never especially skilled at it, but I can do all the basics. I think part of the reason my mom signed me up for the lessons was so that I didn't end up like my dad in that department (he never learned how to swim).
I don't swim much these days (even though there is a swimming pool in my building), but on the rare occasion that I do take a dip, I never have any trouble picking it up again.

I can swim, but just not very good. Breaststroke is my favourite stroke to swim.
No i cant swim. That's fine though. My idea of going to the beach is walking alongside and dinner and drinks.
I can float.
I can swim but not very well. At the very most I could swim about 100 meters.
