Believe it or not, I actually taught myself to swim as a child.
I think it was from watching a Summer Olympics years ago of swimmers doing it and I thought, "Oh, that's easy."
So, when I visited public pools or beaches with my family down the line, I knew exactly what to do.

in belgium it's common for schools to give swimming lessons. i like the idea, but the way teachers would scold kids who didn't want to swim for whatever reason (phobias, insecurities, religious reasons,...) was pretty messed up. it shouldn't be forced on anyone, especially kids

i think it's a pretty good idea to avoid young kids drowning just executed badly in some parts

A few yes

Me too! Only until age 13 tho

I also did triathlons from 7 - 13 and I was always the best at swimming out of the 3, but biking was the most fun for me, and running was the one I was going slower than I should have bc I'm actually fast but wasn't good at pacing
