Swimmer Type You're a non-swimmer and have little or no confidence in the ocean, especially in the waves. When you go into the water it's usually just to wet your feet and cool off. You're a non-swimmer but can float and tread water for a couple of minutes in the pool. You haven't had much to do with the ocean, when you visit you stand in the water but don't venture past waist-depth. You can swim basic freestyle but it's weak with no great technique. You can't swim for long and your technique needs work. On a calm day at the beach you dive under small waves and swim out past waist-depth.
You can swim freestyle but you get tired fairly quickly. You swim at the same speed and don't have the strength to swim faster. You venture out in the ocean through waves when the conditions suit you, but don't have the confidence or ability as the waves get bigger. You can swim pretty good freestyle and are working on your technique and fitness. You're developing your confidence in the ocean and can swim up to 1.5kms in a single session but you're stuffed after that. You're a semi-regular and confident swimmer both in the pool and ocean easy clocking up 2-3kms a session. You might not swim all year round but you've had a lifetime of swimming and ocean recreation. 
You're an established swimmer and have had pool squad training at some stage. You're a competent ocean swimmer and have been involved in other ocean activities such as surf life saving or surfing.
You are or have been a competitive swimmer and/or triathlete. Your lifestyle involves a mix of recreation ocean activities and you consider yourself a waterman.
