When I was a child I'd often choke up on water.

    Yeah, I can't do this.

    This reminds me of when the Navy kept trying to recruit me. They would call every week and I would lie and say I can't swim (but I am a terrible swimmer) and they would lie and say it doesn't matter, lol. For some reason, they were really interested in me. The army called only once and the Marines didn't call at all (or maybe I wasn't home when they called). Maybe the Navy was more desperate for recruits at the time. Years later they sent me info on becoming a Navy officer. I thought that was weird. I never showed interest and so I don't know why it was sent to me.

    Maybe if they knew you they wouldn't send you anything.

    Even then I wasn't interested in killing foreigners without just cause and so yeah they wouldn't want me if they knew me.

    My father put me in sports at the age of 4, and I am pretty decent at a good bunch of them. I live in a country with a long coastline and in a city with beach and no I don't know how to swim. And if you guys are interested in my cycling abilities, I don't know how to ride a bicycle as well

    Yes. I used to be quite a good swimmer winning blue ribbons on the swim team . For a while but then around age 12, I got too fat. I swam at the YMCA too. I can go off the high dive. I was a natural born athlete . It's the Lithuanian in me. My best was butterfly and backstroke

    Yes, I can swim. My father taught me the basics when I was a kid and I had a couple years of swimming lessons but I do not not consider myself that good at it by any means. You won't catch me doing butterfly strokes at the beach, that's for sure

    Yes. I have always been a really good swimmer. I have always loved swimming, and loved the beach, lakes, rivers, and oceans. My parents taught me how to swim when I was a toddler, and I learned really fast. My excellent swimming skills have actually allowed me to save lives
