Swimming ability

I was going to include water skiing for Texans, but I take offense to the noise and waves that go with that. (Yes, I have tried it.)

Normally i can swim several 50 m lengths without stopping, but it's been a while since i have swam
Hope that will change in the near future

I'm gonna say English Channel - I'm a pretty damn strong swimmer.

I can swim, but I have terrible form since I don't do it much. I put I can swim across a small pool because I only ever swim in backyard pools.

I'm a decent swimmer, and I put competitive even though I'm not anymore (I can still swim 2 miles or so in an endurance swim, and can do 50m in 35s.  Not the fastest, but still at least a little competitive.)

I’m not too bad at swimming short distances but I have always had trouble treading water for some reason.

I grew up living on a lake, and would spend summers in the water the whole time.  I've never competed, but I've been a lifeguard and taught swimming at a summer camp.

Though I'm a scuba diver (Divemaster) I'm hopeless without my mask and fins. I did put that I can swim 25m, but that would be my own creative style combining doggy style, back stroke and breast stroke. Oh it would also take me 5 minutes  :rolleyes:

When I was younger I swam competitively. I used to train twice a day swimming an average of around 10-14kilometers per day. My goal was to make the Olympics, but unfortunately I didn’t quite make it. I gave swimming up for work commitments.

I still swim occasionally to keep fit, but can’t swim the distance or speed I used to!

I'm a water polo player. Swimming several 50m was the closest I guess really. Probably could make the channel, it would just take a looooooong time ^^
On an extended IYNO break... for now.

i'm not a great swimmer but it's hard to know my exact distance.  i don't enjoy swimming unless i am nude, so i only really swim at nude venues, where the pools are not really competetive size.

I can keep myself afloat and sorta swim around in a pool, don't ask me to open my eyes underwater though.
