    I can swim pretty good.
    In scouts, I have the badge. You have to jump in the water with a button down long sleeve shirt, pants, socks, shoes, and a belt (And swim trunks under your pants). You take all your cloths off except the swimsuit, then take the pants, have the legs around your neck, put the belt around the legs and blow air into them.

    Makes a life preserver if you didn't know.
    It is HARD staying a loat while doing it, though.
    I plan on take life-saving badge soon. Swim 8 laps, save 5 people, then have people (About 10) get around you in a pool (deep end), and they are all trying to hedlock you, dunk you, trying to get you paniced and under water. You have to break free and keep doing this for like 2 hours.

    But I love swimming, so this should all be easy(er)

    I can swim, ever since I was young
    and sharks and whales...and jellyfish - they will all screw you pretty badly lol, even if they can't eat you

    and water temperature is usually lower than air temperature and your body temperature can go down rapidly and then you die that way

    so...basically, swimming won't help you much without a life raft

    well epsilon brought up the "Ocean" - no one said anything about the middle of the ocean lol, could be a few miles off shore

    and he was saying if he had a life preserver he'd be fine and be able to swim back somewhere lol

    I can swim fairly well. If I were to fall into the middle of an ocean, I would probably drown though. I can't learn how to float up in water XD

    Thanks to Samus-Fan for the sweet signature picture!

    Tread water? lol.
    My cousin and I had a competition to see who could do it longer and it went on for more than an hour.
    We just gave up.
