"'''Learning to Swim'''" is the third track on the 1991 release ''[[Lunchbox (demo)|Lunchbox]]''. It has since been recorded live and subsequently released again in 1992 on ''[[Live as Hell]]''. The song was allegedly inspired by a message left by a fan on the band's [[Answering Machine Messages|answering machine]] asking for advice.
