I am number three, it is quite easy to learn and it can save your life.

    Oh. I misunderstood. "Learn to swim" didn't read as a survival thing to me, I assumed it meant "swim quickly for sport" not "avoid drowning". I took it for granted not everyone knows how to do this.

    The down votes are still funny.

    I'm scared to learn. Mostly because of trauma.

    Edit: I just remembered this clip from the movie WarGames and I relate.

    Well, you don't have to be in water to learn the basics. If you have a chair you can lay down on your stomach and practice doing the paddling with your feet, and both the crawl/breaststroke movements until you feel confident that you do know them
