I am a lifelong swimmer, and I believe everyone should learn how to swim! My parents put me in swim lessons when I was two years old because they were afraid I would fall into our relative's pool, and I loved the water! From then on, I grew up around the water, swimming on swim teams, playing water polo, and surfing. The skill of swimming has enabled me to have wonderful experiences in the water that I think everyone should be able to enjoy!
