Today, my dad taught me how to swim. I had to keep doing a lot of strange movements to keep my body floating. While doing that, two 8-year-old girls came and asked me if i needed help getting out of the water. I'm a 20 year old guy. FML

Get yourself some arm floaties! Or next time don't try to practice swimming in a public pool.

Totally reminds me of Dr.Sheldon Cooper who taught himself to swim with the Internet and practiced on the floor in his apartment.

I think OP is practicing the "Best Stroke" instead of the "Breast Stroke".

That would defiantly make it look like he was struggling to get out of the water.

Iclicked YDI as soon as I saw "I was learning to swim." If you're old enough to use this site, you should be able to swim.

What if your whole life you never had the chance to be around a pool of water big enough to even practice

Well then you'd have to be living in the middle of nowhere, because virtually every city has a pool somewhere in it.

It's not that hard to swim.. Even if you haven't learned how to swim, as you get older it comes more natural.. People who can't swim at that age, well, who knows what they've been doing their whole life.

I get the same feeling! Cause I know a few people that can't swim and they are 20 and know 3 year olds that can swim and are fairly natural at it

It's a weird thing as an Aussie hearing about adults that can't swim, in AUS EVERYONE knows how to swim. Differences in lifestyle I guess...

A lot of people don't spend enough time around water to need to learn how to swim. I know in my town, most of the public pools closed years ago. There's only one left and not everyone has access to it. I didn't learn how to swim until I was 18 and I didn't start driving lessons until I was 26. Any other milestones I should be tripping over myself to get done, please let me know. I've got LOADS of time to fritter away.

Unfortunately not true at all. I have two friends who can't swim at all, and they're both over 23.. I can't even comprehend how their parents could've been so neglectful!

I have a friend, and when he was younger his dad (who is now in jail for other reasons) tried to "teach" him how to swim by throwing him into a lake and leaving him there. He almost drowned. He's completely terrified of water since that incident, and no, he doesn't know how to swim- with a perfectly good reason.
