I don't believe there's anyone that can't swim or at least float. Those that think they can't just panic which prevents them from being able to.

I cant swim in cold water wearing hip waders. when I go under in the fall over my head I just take a big breath and walk to shore on bottom. The trick is to not panic.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

If I’m in the water, it’s a mistake! I will climb to the surface and run to shore! My fear of fish or something grabbing me is REAL!
I wear a life jacket in the boat at all times!
Cold as ice!

I can't swim. Mom and Dad couldn't so they never took us kids. I'm a water trapper-go figure. I've had a few close calls but I am probably more careful because I can't swim.

My dad lost a boyhood friend in a swimming accident. He made sure all his kids learned !
I would rather be at a swimming pool then on a farm so I obliged. After enough summers I earned my Lifeguard card from the Red Cross !
It’s a lazy man who can’t find his wife a second job !

Dad just threw us in the river. Swimming came easy…getting out of the gunny sack was the hard part!

I've legit sank to the bottom of the pool and just played there on my back Not surprising. It's panic. People get kicked out of BUDs every year for it. You're lean and muscular so it'll require concentration. It's hard NOT to panic when you're sinking. Just need to clear your mind and focus on the science.

Swimming is all about floating. Have to learn to float well first and tread water staying still, then can swim like a fish. Floating is all about breathing correctly.
If you can't breathe correctly, no matter how strong you are, eventually you will sink.

I wear a life jacket in the boat at all times Everyone should always do this. Being the best swimmer in the world won't help you if you get knocked unconcious or injured.
