Answer 9

No. Swimming is a survival instinct, if you fall into a body of water those insticnts will kick in. You might become a bit rusty with the specifics of the strokes and techniques but you'll still be able to swim as such and float and move throught the water. Once you start though, you'll pick it up again in no time.
