It depends, serious swimming can take years of practice, but being able to swim for fun, can take up to a few weeks to half a year, it just all depends how willing you are! :)

It really depends on your commitment :) . For most, swimming is very easy to pick up, and as long as you are working hard you will get exercise, no matter your form. Something like the doggy paddle can be picked up shortly, probably within a day. After you get that down practice other strokes like freestyle and the breaststroke. By the end of the summer you'll be more than a capable swimmer.

If you're over 9 years old, it should only take you a few weeks to learn all you need to know. It will take much longer to build stanima and master strokes however.
