I told him I knew enough not to drown, but I didn&#8217;t know how to &#8220;swim&#8221; swim. He said that not drowning is swimming. If I didn&#8217;t know how to swim then I would drown. He explained that I didn&#8217;t know how to &#8220;freestyle&#8221; or do other swimming strokes, but that I actually knew how to swim.<\/p>\n<p>I never had formal swimming lessons though (unless you count Brian showing me a video of a guy swimming on YouTube as a swimming lesson), and my idea of swimming is actually doing specific strokes. Not just treading water or dog paddling or floating backwards, which is something that I do when I get worn out.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I need some more practice but I&#8217;m pretty sure that I&#8217;ll know how to swim for real by the end of summer. Not swimming in the way that Jay thinks, but really swimming like being able to freestyle and stuff. I&#8217;m super excited. I can&#8217;t wait to be able to swim laps. I hear it&#8217;s pretty good exercise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a confession to make. I don&#8217;t know how to swim.
