Absolutely. The planet is covered two-thirds by water. I think it's nice to have some sort of control of the two thirds of the planet. It builds a little bit better confidence so that you are going to be okay most of the time. I think that everybody likes to swim; the majority of people like to be in the water, like to swim, especially on a hot day in the summer. If you can go jump in a pool, then you should have taken a couple of lessons to make sure that you know how to react if someone jumps in on top of you and all the sudden you'll be held under water with someone playing around.
