The Swim

I went for a swim after 8 years today.
I had learnt it , or rather was forced towards it, for 6 years of my life and had , learnt how to at least freestyle.
I was sure as I had heard, that one could , if learnt, not forget how to swim.

But as i had hoped against hope , I was there in the middle of the pool after a rather ill-executed dive wondering why i was drowning?
People around me got so scared and started the regular commotion.

It was at least a few seconds before I finally realized that I had to move my legs as well.

So typical of me.
Who said one could not forget how to swim?
