what is incredible about swimming is that it is horizontal exercise,and like flying in mid-air! For some people it might be the only horizontal exercise they ever get.. Because you are in the water you are able to move more weight with less resistance,and exercise your cardio-vascular system ( if you progress into laps,especially) A great body workout!!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SWIMMING! I swim about 20 hours a week training under the coaching staff of 1996 Olympic Gold Medalist Kristine Quance.  It is the best sport ever!

Merhaba!! No, I haven't swam today. I am just answering your question because I see you are from Turkey. My boyfriend, Arda, is from Izmir, so I just wanted to say hello. I will be traveling to Turkey next summer. I can't wait to see your beautiful country. And Arda has a summer home in Cesme. He just got back and brought pictures from there. The sea looks amazing. Cok Guzel!!\nI think you are right by saying Turkey is the best place to swim!! \nIyi geceler...

when i was 8 my cousin pushed me off the deep end of the pool. I couldnt swim then and so i was waving my arms and legs all over the place. Everyone else there thought i could swim and that i was just pulling a joke on them. I almost drown but luckily one of my relatives pulled me up in time. I thought i was a goner...scary scary feeling

Paddle, i'd be screwed because i don't know how to swim.. and I would ask myself, what the hell am I doing in this creek without a paddle to begin with?! If i don't even know how to swim?! then I would log on to Yahoo answers and ask everyone what I should do if this were to ever happen to me...

Not lost, but "they" fell out in the pool after coming down a waterslide.  Thank God no one saw. : )

YMCA I learned how to swim there and went on to take SCUBA , about two years later. When I learned to swim I was actually trying to learn not to fear the water. if you cant get over this part you are not going to learn to swim you have to let go of the fear.

I think so. To swim, you need to use all of your muscles and, depending on what stroke you do, it can be a really good excercise for certain muscles. Also, there are lots of differant levels of swimming that will challenge you more as you learn.

Know how to swim.  I would look rather silly out there with the big rubber duck tube around me.

I don't have a fear of having my face in the water, I just don't like the sensation of trying to hold my breath. I love to swim however! The advice on doggie paddling and other strokes that don't really require your face to be in the water are excellent one. These are how I enjoy the water. I do not look as graceful as a person who will put their face in the water, but I haven't had any bad experiences either, and I LOVE to tread water (deep water at that!).

You don't need to know how to swim to do water aerobics. You wear a flotation belt and use a floating "noodle" as well. Your head never goes into the water. Water aerobics in deep water are zero impact and in shallow water (waist deep) are low impact.\nI do 4 hours a week of specialized water aerobics in 7 feet of water and I can't swim at all.

No, its not embarrassing. What is embarrassing is, if like me, you live a five minute walk from the Mediterranean Sea, have your own pool,  run your own swimming pool company and are 36 years old, and still cant swim !

To be free enough of pain to be able to swim again...I miss the feel of water moving over my body while I experience the closest thing to weightlessness I will ever get to feel. I haven't been able to swim, or even sit in a bathtub for almost 20 years...

There were plenty of people when I went through boot camp with Navy that problems swimming (one girl had never been in a pool).  They teach you!  They'll spend as much time teaching you as they have to.
