key point is to not panic. relax and you will float. humans are designed to float naturally. but it doesn't work if you flail around.

Doesn't mean you can't swim. I fell off a dock and into water and learned I knew how to keep my head above water. After that everything else just fell in line

No, that's not a routine thing to have lessons in childhood.

not mandated in school. but when I was a kid, everyone I knew had their parents sign them up for lessons. and I lived on both coasts as a child due to being an army brat. I first learned to swim in PA. but all my friends could swim on the west coast too when I was a teenager

Nope never learned how to swim either. I grew up in the working class, my parents didn't have time nor money to take me to swimming lessons. I worked part time after school so I didn't have time for that stuff either in my teens.

You're being ignorant. I grew up around pools and lakes and rivers and oceans in Mass and Maine and learned to swim when I was like 4, but not everyone has that. Maybe their parents didn't like swimming and never took their kids. Maybe they live in some desert in Nevada. Also, public pools are usually gross. I wouldn't fault someone for not taking their kids there.

I learnt to swim in primary school aged around 5, it had an outside pool which was freeezing, and in middle school we'd go to the local public pool as well, it was part of PE lessons

then in summer me and my friends would pretty much spend most of our time at the local pool, sometimes they'd have those big floating things out you could mess around on, and a big slide as well, but yeah swimming is pretty fun, it's one of those things that once you learn it, you never forget how to do it

PE class in 10th grade spent two weeks at the local YMCA teaching the non swimmers to swim and making the swimmers to different endurance laps.

It's really common in the UK. Primary school usually has one swimming lesson a week from like the ages of 7-11.

I can't really swim. I mean, I can a little, but I'm really bad at it. Can swim better underwater than I can keeping myself afloat.

I remember being little and seeing my brother get swimming lessons. They wouldn't let me in the water because I was too small I guess, had to play poolside with toys instead. When I was older I asked if I could get swimming lessons, my mom said we couldn't afford it then and my dad said he'd tie me into a burlap sack with rocks and throw me off a bridge into the river. Then he loaded me up and took me to the river, stopped and the bridge and acted like he was gonna toss me over. Instead he pulled on up to another part where we could swim and he took me to the deep end and held me under. He said he was just holding onto me, but no, he held me under. I managed to flail about enough that pulled me up and took me back to shore. After that, every time I mentioned wanting to learn to swim he'd get angry and say he'd teach me. So I eventually stopped mentioning it and learned to be content on the shallower sides of pools/lakes.
