Who taught you to swim?

My grandfather taught me when I was little.

@CookieCrumbs And how did that work out 🤔. lol
@SW-User
I knew how to swim in a pool. Self taught.

Youtube helped in learning (watching) proper form for breast stroke and threading water in the ocean (not beach where there is sand under my feet).

Practiced in the pool for a week. Then applied what I learned when I jumped in a 20ft deep of ocean water.

@CookieCrumbs Great 👍 I had a hard time staying a float 😅. A friend suggested I’d learn to swim under water first .It worked 🤷‍♂️🙌
@SW-User
That was my experience too. I knew how to 'dive' for coins in the swimming pool before I learned how to swim properly .🥸

@CookieCrumbs I loved crawling along the bottom looking for starfish 🤩. Until you come face to face with an ugly sculpin 😲. lol
