Yes, been in the pool either with a parent, or by myself since before i can remember since my grandparents had one. i have always loved swimming, or even just floating on hot summer days. It's also an amazing way to finish off my day after I get off work in the summer (I work the yard/warehouse for a company, which involves being on my feet and lifting heavy shit.) so being able to leave there and just go chill in a the pool is amazing. I don't know cpr though I've always intended to learn.
Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
I can not swim like a fish. But I can enough to save myself from drowning. As long as I do not have to swim too far.
Simple as that can you swim? yes
More important as a follow up do you like to swim? Yes
If you enjoy swimming do you like swimming in a pool, the lake or the ocean. pool
Do you know CPR? yes
its like this right
Sounds more like you float GP hehe! Yeah I probably should have added one for proficiency, keep in mind there are plenty of reason you can swim and you won't say like an under current. However in general if you know how to swim you are going to always float vs the other way around.

You'd be surprised. A lot of lifeguarding instructors are awful and allow people to pass who barely swim. When I first started helping with courses, the instructor would ask for feedback on each student. I said "She can't swim, she can't make it to the bottom of the pool to retrieve the brick. She has to be told to go home today". That student came back the next day and received her card after the class like everyone else despite not performing half of the skills properly.
Yes, I love both casual swimming and to exercise. Its one of the best ways to keep your body in shape. Also a huge fan of large water parks.
That's false. Almost all of that is false lol. Many humans don't float at all (muscle sinks straight to the bottom, even with held breath and relaxed muscles). Many movements actually hinder swimming, so if someone doesn't know how to swim, they may reduce their chances of survival by moving. As a lifeguard the biggest issue we had was with people who would try to swim when they were starting to get into trouble. Just because you can do it and you think it's incredibly easy doesn't mean it is lol. I learned when I was a small child as well and have never struggled with it, but swimming is not as you claim it is.
swim? yes
like to? it's ok
where? pool
cpr? i can breath into your mouth, keep a beat, and punch you in the sternum sooo sure
No sense crying over spilt beer, unless you're drunk...
Definitely. I was trained by a pretty cutthroat instructor, so I felt pretty comfortable. I also worked under someone who valued on the clock trainings very frequently. So we were constantly getting better, most of us competed in summer lifeguard competitions at beaches after our first year working. You learn faster than you think, the rest comes down to conditioning and confidence.
No, I can't swim.
Yes, yes, pretty much everywhere water is, and certified First Aid with CPR including defib.
