I live in Missouri. There's no reason for me to know how to swim

When's the last time it's flooded near you and how much warning in advance was there? If it's been awhile and there was ample warning, you'd be correct, there's no reason.

Never, actually. At least as far as I can remember.

I can swim enough to not die if I fell into water, but I wouldn't be threatening the Olympic team for their places or anything.

its kinda sad if you're an adult who cant swim

its like those delinquents who thought it was cool to skip class etc and ended up not knowing how to read or write as an adult


Not quite

Reading and writing are necessities for everyday life. Swimming is not

That doesnt make it any less weird to not know how to swim. Its like not knowing how to ride a bike or drive a car. Sure you can survive without knowing, but its weird. And sad.

how cum I can see conflict's post

It does actually

Because if you're not interested in going into pools or water parks then who gives a fuck. You should find things that are actually important in day-to-day life to feel superior about

It will probably come up in conversation at some point and then everyone will be like "wtf? How could they not know how to swim lmao"


No it never comes up in conversation, ever. Nobody's gonna randomly ask you out of the blue "do you know how to swim" unless you chime into a conversation about pools or water parks.

And even if it did, that wouldn't suddenly make it an important life skill. It's kinda funny how you so very seriously need to feel superior to people about something so unimportant tbh. As if you're swimming from Australia all the way to the US on the regular

They might ask "hey, have you been to/done so and so that involves swimming" at which point yes it will be brought up. Whats with this "you're just trying to feel superior" strawman? Stop it.

so? Only a freak would care

If they think negatively, then don't be friends with them? There are 6 billion people in the world. I'll be like "Uhh...I HATE beaches, pools and lake and outdoors! I like video games and anime FO LIFE!"

Dude

I took swimming classes in collegeI paid $60 PER day for the classand I still didnt learn! They put us in the 12ft section for the class and I was way too scared of drowning that I didnt learn anything. Just putting my face under water scares me :(

What scenarios are those? You and I can't think of any!

And riding a bike is also NEVER necessary or required at any point in life that we can think of. ever.

Why is it weird though? And why does it matter?

It doesn't. And you and I can't think of a reason it would affect anyone

You did too. You said its weird which doesnt matter cause who cares. We cant think of one reason WHY its weird and why it affects anyone ever

People who care are never worty talking to or being friends with if they care too much. They need to get over it that lots of people never touch a bike or go to a pool beach in the entire life!

And I never will! I dont need to go to a pool or beach ever and never ride a bike ever!

I can swim enough to move comfortably around a pool or in the ocean but I definitely don't have good form or breathing technique for serious working out swimming.

They registered me as a class 2 swimmer in boot camp somehow though >_>

Lol at people on this board acting like not knowing how to swim or ride a bike renders you as a useless individual of society.

I just learned how to ride a bike last year, and I still have no clue how to swim. Sorry Im not as privileged as you white people in this country and can spend $100 on swimming lessons

This.

There is NEVER a situation in childhood or teen years that you are put into that you have to learn to ride a bike or swim

Ever. No one here can name a time.

Its all optional activities, I just did the main quest and skipped the extra fluff

I get how people don't learn but it always makes me do a doubletake when I meet people who can't swim. I realize it's not really fair to think this though since I grew up 10 minutes from the beach and had a pool in my backyard


True, but still you didnt have to go to the beach.

And for kids and teens without pools there is never a moment where they have to go to the pool
