Pretty much. At times, i try to float, but get very uncomfortable when i start to sink.

Shallow water or swimming pools are my only experience. In a residential pool I can swim enough to get from one side to the other. If for some reason I'm stopped in the middle, i.e., i just stop there, or I fall off of a float, I don't know how I would react or what would happen.
That is so strange to me....even when I was a wiry stringy kid I could swim like a fish.
 
I'm 66 and don't know how to swim. Didn't grow up around water. It gets harder learn as you get older; I've taken lessons twice. No luck.

Being physically gifted has nothing to do with it. And being muscular, having little fat, makes it harder to float

Rule number 1.) don’t panic

2.)practice swimming by laying on top of a float focus on the kicking aspect of it followed by the arm movements..and once you think you’re ready ditch the float…this is how I taught my son and he thinks he’s ready to compete in the Olympics now😂 it’s the mental aspect of it that’s the biggest hurdle.

Oh, it's definitely mental. Mostly. But when I was taking lessons, I never could get the breathing part down.
 
If someone had done that to me when I was a kid, I might know how to swim today.
My dad threw me in the deep end of a pool at a motel in Pecos Texas when I was 7-8 and yelled swim or drown son...I was like you before that, I would stay in the shallow end and swim around a little...but I wouldn't go near the deep end.


I kicked up off of the bottom and just swam to the side for all I was worth...and he looked at me and said "see...I told you you could do it". I never had a problem after that and I once swam two miles across a lake and back on a dare.
 
Can’t get into NFL anymore used to love it just looks so scripted anymore no defense either..
Meh...I enjoyed the Lions game today, and this one is a barn burner, but you are right about this one..no defense..

From what I know of Lamar Jackson...he is going to destroy either one of these "defenses" next week.
