When did you start swimming?
At what age did you start swimming? By this I don't mean learn to swim, but your first swim team.

I started in 5th grade, at the age of 11.

I started to swim in the 5th grade at the young age of 11.
I was very enthusiastic about my swimming talent as I really swim well.

RE: When did you start swimming?
i was forced 2 years ago. i used to have back problems, because i was training like a powerlifter. and because i used to make some mistakes, some injuries came. so, in order to recover, i had to learn how to swim.
since then, swimming it's my complementary sport!

It is beneficial for you that you started swimming as it is a really good excercise for your body.Your body aches will also decrease.

RE: When did you start swimming?
Learned to swim at a young age but then never really took an interest until i was 15, i find it hard to catch up with other people but i'm happy because i've dropped a lot of time since i started! By the way 28 is not too late.

RE: When did you start swimming?
Started swimming competitively at age 6 in a summer league, then year round around 8 I think.

Yeah, I started early, and had somewhat of a mental burnout around age 10 or 11.
