    It's not really your polls that are bad, but the options. 
     
    Does B cancel out A? It's confusing. And aren't E and G like the same thing?

    I can only doggy paddle correctly, I can swim the other way, but at that I am terrible.

    No, I took swimming lessons before, however I still don't see how it's possible imo. I'm sure it's possible of course, I can't swim at all on any level.

    uh,  barely. Like I can't really do strokes that well. I'm comfortable being in the water though.

    Yup.  I took a class with a friend of mine who couldn't so he wouldn't feel like some pervert (it was a swimming class for kids) during high school and one in college.  I still can't dolphin kick very well.

    I can swim but I'm really afraid of deep water. So much so in fact that it's hard for me to play games that have you swimming in murky water where you can't see.

    Took ten years of swimming lessons, so I'm more than competent I suppose. Though I don't enjoy it.

    More than "barely" but not that good. It's not like I'll drown in 10+ feet of water or anything. Plus, I can float, so there's that.

    I can, but I didn't learn how to until I was about 12 or 13 years old.
