Not knowing how to swim can be sort of embarrassing if you don’t want the world to know about it. A lot of people learn how to swim in their childhood, but if you didn’t have a chance to learn how to swim when you were young, it becomes more of an inconvenience as you get older. Hanging out with your friends on a boat, lounging by the pool, and visiting the beach are things that should be relaxing and enjoyable. 

But if you don’t know how to swim, these experiences can actually be way more stressful than anyone would ever guess. The good news is that a lot of places where you’ll find water are shallow enough for you to dip your feet. Walking around in calm water that’s only knee-deep won’t have your heart racing with anxiety and panic, either. You’ll easily relate to these summer season memes if you’re someone who still doesn’t know how to swim.
