I swam competitively from the time I was 5 until I was 18. My husband is a former pro athlete so there is rarely anything athletic that I can do to impress him but every time he sees me swim he is humbled a little and that makes me happy : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-swimmer#post-212909 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 09:41:25 +0000 Alivoo01 212909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the water and was on the swim team from middle school through HS. However, I don't think I'm as strong of a swimmer anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-swimmer#post-212609 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:13:45 +0000 MaisyMay 212609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually can't swim. Any swimming the kids want to do, hubs will have to be there for or it will have to be in the less than 6' pool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-swimmer#post-212607 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:11:43 +0000 Boogs 212607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can swim, but am not great at it and don't love to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-swimmer#post-212601 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:07:14 +0000 owlmom 212601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I swam competitively for years, lifeguarded, taught swim lessons, and now I do triathlons. I love the water! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-swimmer#post-212597 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:01:55 +0000 birdofafeather 212597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i used to be a strong swimmer (did lessons every summer from 5 until 15!) and was a jr. lifeguard. somewhere after that, i stopped wanting to swim for fun anymore and i think i've lost that ability, just because i'm not used to it anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-swimmer#post-212399 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 20:24:59 +0000 Running Elley 212399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on the swim team and played water polo in high school and still think I'm a pretty good swimmer. I'm not fast like I used to be though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-swimmer#post-212388 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 20:22:52 +0000 Rubies 212388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a really good swimmer - I used to be a lifeguard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-swimmer#post-212356 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 20:12:55 +0000 mrskc 212356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on the swim team in high school, so yeah I consider myself to be a pretty good swimmer. I was also a lifeguard one summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-swimmer#post-212346 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 20:10:13 +0000 prettylizy 212346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a passable swimmer, I took classes for like 10 years when I was little. I'm no lap champion, but I can get around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-swimmer#post-212338 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 20:08:09 +0000 Sophia 212338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a really good swimmer. I taught swimming lessons and lifeguarded every summer from 11th grade until I graduated from college. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-swimmer#post-212279 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:43:44 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 212279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a pretty bad swimmer. I took lessons for awhile when I was younger, but didn't love it. Grew up with a pool, but I tended to float around more on a pool noodle than actually swim laps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-swimmer#post-212146 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:06:23 +0000 mediagirl 212146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I'm a pretty good swimmer. I plan on teaching M how to swim when it's time. I may have her go to her early swim classes with a group and then show her the rest on my own. I used to give lessons, life guard, etc so I can pull it out from 15 years ago... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-swimmer#post-212046 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:35:49 +0000 Tidybee 212046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swam competitively through college, so I'm going to go with yes on this one. However, I haven't swam a lap in over a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-swimmer#post-212039 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:34:38 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 212039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an ok swimmer. I took a swimming class in college. I'm pretty slow though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-swimmer#post-212037 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:34:14 +0000 chopsuey 212037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: next time you're in the pool try swimming! DH swam about 20 feet from me and told me to swim to him.. HAHAHAHA</p> <p>... I literally doggy paddled over.. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-swimmer#post-212034 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:33:17 +0000 Andrea 212034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm OK but out of practice, too. I haven't done real swimming in forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-swimmer#post-212032 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:32:37 +0000 sslm 212032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I am pretty good! I had all of the swimming lessons when I was younger and my sister and I swam laps together to work out. I wouldn't say I am fast or anything like that though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-swimmer#post-212025 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:30:58 +0000 chopsuey 212025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh, LO and I went to the pool while we were vacationing and I realized that I suck at swimming now. </p> <p>The last time I swam (for real) was back when I was 12. TWENTY years ago. </p> <p>I really don't like getting my hair wet and putting my head under water too. :T<br /> Definitely going to have to make sure there's a life guard on duty if I ever take my LOs swimming on my own :P </p>
