Do you have to know how to swim to snorkel?

SINK OR SWIM -- "Succeed or fail, mainly according to the competence and diligence of your own effort. In the 14th century and for some time thereafter it was 'float or sink,' probably reflecting the fact that few people learned to swim then and also reflecting a stronger role for fate in one's success or failure. Chaucer had 'flete or sinke' in 'The Compleynte until Pite' (c. 1368), Thomas Starkey's 'England in the Reign of Henry the Eight' (1538) says: 'They care not 'whether they synke or swyme.'"
