It is one of the things I think is so important for children to learn.I learned to swim at a very young age back in the 50's. I remember helping save a girl in the sea whose rubber ring went down,and she was way out of depth.I think I was about 12 or 13 then .As soon as possible I took my 2 children for swimming lessons. Learning to float on your back is another good thing to know.

	I can't swim. This October on holiday and at a water park, I was trying to get into a rubber ring, to float round a three foot deep stream. I jumped onto the ring, and it shot away from me. I was under the water seeing bubbles, and came up spluttering and in shock. I tell people how I nearly died on holiday lol

	I can't swim I got pushed in at the age of 5 and I am now frightened of water. I tried hypnotherapy but to no avail. I made sure that my children learnt to swim at an early age. Wendy
