swimmer

No matter how strong a swimmer you are, somewhere in the world there is water that can overpower you.

Indeed it is not, because i've been Fish Kicking since the 1980s when i was a swimmer in college.

It does not cost that much to become qualified as a lifeguard for someone who is already a strong swimmer.

A kid drowning in a wave pool looks different from a mostly-able swimmer drowning from fatigue.

It is nothing to do with strength at all, and nothing to do with how strong a swimmer you are.

Having been a competitive swimmer in my younger days I have generally been confident in my swimming abilities.

You can't tell from the site, but a drowning swimmer is a wild animal.

This particular year, as I was approaching point B, a safety swimmer started yelling at me to hurry.

I was a pretty strong swimmer at that point, and more than a little lucky as well.

I'm a lousy swimmer, but when I was an active duty Marine I had to swim qual every year.

Always scanning, always counting, always watching for signs of a weak swimmer and I always will.

What does it look like when an able swimmer encounters trouble?

Most facilities in the EU have a dedicated shallow non-swimmer pool - and then there's a separate deep pool for "serious" swimming.

I'm still curious about this: "What does it look like when an able swimmer encounters trouble?" Do adults drown as often as children?

I failed it the first year, and it taught me a lot about the difference between "can swim" and "competent swimmer." They later changed it to a gimme course because of "hazing" complaints, which I thought was awful.
