Re: learn to swim/swimming In AmE, we tend to use learned rather than learnt.

Teacher Re: learn to swim/swimming I've never learnt to swim.
I was never (or not) taught to swim.
I've never had swimming lessons.
I can't swim.
(As has already been pointed out, "learnt" is used more often in BrE, and "learned" in AmE.)
