Can you forget how to swim?

Question

I want to start swimming again but haven't since I was like 12 and now I'm 18. I want to go back but don't want to make a fool of myself if I can't. So can you forget how to swim if you haven't in a long time or is it like riding a bike?

Answer

I feel it's like ridding a bike. I've gone 10 years without swimming before and still remembered how

Answer

I’m pretty sure once you learn, it always sticks with you. But it’s the opposite for riding bikes for me, I learned a few years ago and I can’t ride it now

Answer

It’s like riding a bike or roller skating or skipping. Like yeah you might not be super graceful at first if you haven’t done it in a while and you’ll need to rebuild those muscles but you’ll still know how.

Answer

I don't think so but it's nothing like riding a bike for me because I learnt and can't remember how

Answer

I’m not sure..but I mean if you haven’t moved the muscles to swim then....*loses my train of thought*...uhmm i dont know 😂😂

Answer

I’ve heard the “it’s like a riding a bike” but after years of not swimming I couldn’t swim in deep waters. I had to learn again , maybe it was just me 🤷🏻‍♀️
