I joined the swim team when I was 12, and I was the worst kid in the pool - I was put with a group of 7-year-olds.
I'm not a very good swimmer, and every time I'm in the water, I'm constantly reminded of that because I feel like I'm going to drown!
I don't like the ocean. I'm not a natural swimmer, even though I come from Australia. That' a terrible thing to say.
I started swimming when I was four because my brother wanted to join a swim team, and I wanted to do what he did. They said I had to be six, but if I could swim a lap, then I could participate. So I swam a lap, and the rest is history.
Open-water swimming scares the hell out of me.
First and foremost, it's paramount for young child to learn how to swim, and the best place for that to happen is at primary school if they've got the facilities.
I actually love swimming but I just hate jumping in the water.
Though I do not know much swimming, I am glad that both my children are getting better at it day by day.
