Street View: Do you consider yourself to be a good swimmer?

No. I haven't really swum since school. But if I was in trouble I think I could save myself.
TORI WALLACE, 24
Ngakuru
I was. But I can't swim for too long at the moment. I always wear a lifejacket.
AFA LEILUA, 56
Koutu
I'm about average I think. Probably not too long a distance, but I'm confident in the water.
KOURTNEY IMIG, 26

Yes, I just love the sea. I love getting some kina and mussels for the cuzzies. I'm happy in there all day, unless it's cold.
