At what age did you learn to swim? Who taught you?

I took lessons when i was 40. I had lessons through school between the ages of 9 and 12 and hated it. I couldnt bare to get my face wet.

Learning as an adult, the 1st thing they did was teach us to get our face and hair wet and the realisation i wouldnt die if i got water in my ears was a revelation!! Lol.
