Question

I have stopped swimming in late 2006 will I generally remember how to swim and just be a little rusty on the techniques or will I completely forget going swimming tonight so I really need an answer. Plz help I need to know

Answer 1

swimming is subject to muscle memory, like riding a bike, yes. and if you are just casually swimming anyways, you should be completely fine. your stroke might not be the best, but you wont drown or anything, and you should get back in the swing of things after a little bit of swimming, say half an hour into it.

Answer 2

You wont forget!

yess youll be rusty but youll remeber wyas and techniques

dont worry!

you be finee!(:

goodluck!

xox

Answer 3

Not at all but your endurance and strength for swimming will go down until you start again.

Answer 4

Once you learn how to swim you never "forget". As soon as you get in the water it will just come natural. You might not have as much endurance as you did before but thats all that will probably be affected.

Answer 5

Well be happy, you wont forget how to swim.  Its basic and will all come back to you.  You wont be as strong a swimmer right away but that too will come back with a little time spent in the pool.

Answer 6

its like riding a bike, you never forget.

but you will prob be a little rusty.

Answer 7

No, I didn't swim for over a year and I started to again this year & I didn't forget! You'll be fine, it will just take some time to get use to again

Answer 8

It will feel weird when you start again, but you won't have forgotten.
