Have you taken any swimming lessons?

I just jumped in and tried not to die.

And it was a success, for the record.

I learned to swim without lessons. I was rocking swimmies even though I didn't need them, lol.

Yes, I was forced to take them when I was like 7 or 8. I hated them at the time. I've always liked swimming, but I didn't like having to do all the stuff we did in the lessons.

No never took lessons but would still be willing. Last time someone tried to instruct me how to swim they were on the shore and I was in the water above my head after "swimming" or attempting to after 5 strokes. Needless to say I never learned how to swim but can float!

Mostly my daddy taught me. I only went to lessons because I was such a fish that I always wanted to be in the pool!

I never took lessons but I had a pool growing up so needless to say I am an excellent swimmer.

I haven't done so in years and this poll makes me miss it even more. :C

I took summer swimming lessons as a kid. I hated it though.

I never had any lessons, but I learned how to swim on my own. Mostly in the Lake Michigan and some smaller lakes in Michigan.

voted "I learned to swim without lessons" because...

i did take lessons when i very young, but i didn't learn how to swim from them. instead, i learned on my own when i was much older.

I learned how to swim long before taking lessons, however i really enjoyed the time spent taking swimming lessons and glad my parents make me take them.
