Would you rather be able to swim like a fish or fly like a bird?

I can already swim, and I can float, which isn't a good thing for fish. So I'm gonna have to go with flying like a crow, if I'm adding to my existing skills.

I think I'd rather fly like a bird. I think the sky is the most beautiful creation. I've been known to walk into things because I'm too busy looking up at the sky. I'd like to see the sky from way up high. Would it look different? And it would be lovely to see the sweeping land and seascapes from way up high

Definitely fly like a bird. But like an eagle or hawk or falcon. Not like a hummingbird. I'd love to soar high above everything and feel really free.

Swim.  definitely swim. Flying has always frightened me.

I'd rather be able to swim like a fish. Water is my natural element.

I would definitely rather fly like a bird than swim like a fish. For one thing, I can't swim. Besides, it would be really cool to lool over the country, and see what it looks like from miles up in the sky.

Swim like a dolphin...although after seeing the latest spate of natural disaster movies, I think a bird would be the smarter option.

Definitely fly like a bird.

I can already swim so I would definitely like to fly like a bird!

Swim like a fish as long as I could breath down there and see the other 80% of the Earth man has never seen! OK, I'm afraid of heights, sue me.

Probably fly like a bird, it would be interesting to get that kind of perspective.

I would rather swim like a fish. People can fly via airplanes all the time. How many people can explore the deep sea? Mostly only Navy people, and even they can't go very deep. Fish can go pretty far down into the oceans, and they probably see some pretty cool stuff.

Definitely fly like a bird because then you can get away from bad people.

In spite of my distrust of high places, I'd rather fly like a bird than swim like a fish. I'm getting too old to relish exploring new places, but I'm still young enough to want to extend my knowledge of the places I know.

Fly like a bird. . .because it would make it easier and quicker to get around town than walking. . .

I would rather fly like a bird. I don't like seafood very much, it gets pretty disgusting if you look or think about it for a little while. Plus, flying is faster than swimming. And you get to go to different cities and  eat leaves and do other birdy things.

Can I be a bizzare hybrid of the two? A type of high-flying fish ?
