Swimming is not really easy as it may seems to be

[Sotherefore]

It is quite unfortunate to understand that a lot of people believe that swimming only has to do with getting into the water and pushing ourself forward to make movement, sometimes we are always motivated because we have seen a lot of people getting into the water to swim conveniently without any problem or struggling, this always give us some subconscious believe that it is not necessary for us to learn and understand how to swim properly before we make any attempts to do so.. However we shouldn't just be over motivated by the fact that we have seen other people getting into the swimming pool to swimm without experiencing difficulty. it is very dangerous for you to get into the water for the main purpose of swimming when you never had any experience of swimming because the risk of you getting drown is very high.. I suggest that anyone that is interested to swim for the first time without experience should rather take sometimes to get all the necessary training and experience from expert before making any attempts to swim on their own because this action alone can reduce the risk of dead related to swimming, .. proper training is very important.

You are right proper training is involved before one can just jump in to the river to swim. Swimming is a part of exercise which is very good for the body and health wise is good.
The way people use to swim inside the swimming pool is very different to the way one can swim in the river because the movement or forces of water in the river is differs to that of swimming pool. Because in the swimming pool there is no movement of water or forces that control the water movement. So therefore if any body want to know may be he or she knows how to swim should firstly swim in the river first.

Note: Do not swim because you see people swimming if you don't know how to swim.
