Your parents should have taken you to a baby swim class when you were a toddler. Those bad boys teach you how to float and swim when you are a wee lad.

There are also swimming classes for adults, if you're ever interested.

You can do it! You'll love it. There's such a feeling of freedom in the water, especially when no one is trying to drown you. Is there a Y near you? I am sure they have a class for you, and you will not be alone.

The plus-side is that you probably have a tendency to burn in the sun, so all those years out of the water have protected you from skin cancer.

I'm Irish and have pale skin, so I'm practically a sunburn waiting to happen.

As soon as you learn to swim you can start wearing Speedos. See, there's another reason to learn.

That's more reason for me not to swim, Robert; I have a "Speedos Don't Need To Exist Outside Of Competitive Swimming" policy.

It is like Imposible to not know how to swim, i mean you can not swim well, but your body mass is less than 1 so u will always float, unless u r like retarded. I think it is mainly that u r afraid to swim, so toughen up.
