POLL TIME! Can you SWIM?

[Sussex19]

Umm, not even coming up for air ?

For as long as I can hold my breath, which isn't that long. 15 seconds or something when I'm working hard.

I can't stick my head under the water. Except in the shower.

DW and I are pretty good swimmers. (On our "first date" we swam in the Mississippi.)
We made sure DD learned to swim early and it's a good thing. When we were rebuilding after Katrina she snuck into the backyard with some neighbor kids and fell into the deep end of the pool (winter). The kids sheepishly came to us and said DD might be in trouble.
We tore to the pool to find DD, probably 4 yo, standing on the side of the pool, soaking wet and shivering in winter coat and boots. She had swam back to the side and pulled herself out. (She was mostly worried that she was in trouble for ruining her boots.)

I chose "other." You need a "yes, with qualifications." Or "with reservations " or something. In my case it's "yes, but ..." So yeah. I CAN swim, meaning I know the strokes and can perform them reasonably well. But ... I also have exercise-induced asthma. So I can't do any of the strokes very long without getting short of breath and then wheezing. So then I either sit on the side of the pool and look pretty (once upon a time) or old (now), or flip over on my back and float and wonder if the birds circling overhead are buzzards.

Thanks, Summer. In school I wasn't cute, I wasn't popular, I wasn't rich. But by golly I was smart in English.
