I can say I don't know how to swim professionally but I can try. I've had a few experience in handling water when I used to wash our water tank since childhood. The water seems to always overwhelm me but I usually find my way out. It was fun for me, that's why I love doing it then. But we are grownups now.
I know swimming in a pool or in a river is a different ball game, but I would give it a try as much as possible because it is really something I have much interest in. Swimming is really fun.
