tell us about you and swimming. How old were you when you learned how to swim? Where do you swim and what it is like swimming there? When you swim do you just tread water, do a front stroke, back stroke or other?

I was a baby when my mom took me to lessons. My dad has a place on a lake that he bought when I was six so I grew up swimming there on weekends. In the lake we wade, tread water or use a floaty. Sometimes we boat to a deep spot with no weeds and throw anchor. Sometimes we boat to the sandbar and tie up. Sometimes we boat to the bar and get boat nachos and bloody marys.

I swim at the gym a few times a week to rehab my foot after an accident and 4 surgeries but I just take it easy and do the back floating chicken bird soldier thing.

@Starcrossed I am sorry for your injury. the lake experiences sound awesome. Hope you have fun swimming at the gym. I use to belong to a gym that had a pool but it always had too many people to be fun. But when I go to hotels on business, (which is not often anymore) I loved swimming in the pool at night --when it was quiet peacful and desolate.

I will have to google floating chicken bird soldier thing stroke. .........I am kidding feels like you mean the back stroke
