It doesn't seem too hard. Honestly I think swimming is pretty much on the order of riding a bike. It's just one arm in front of the other fast enough to stay afloat. More time for self correction too in sinking versus tipping over on a bike.
From, what I can tell, Tim Ferris has nothing of value to say. His TED talk was him telling the audience that he learned to tango, learned a language, and learned to swim. Wow.
Ok, I won't bash him any more. Maybe it is much easier if you learn when young, but honestly, I think if you just relax into your stroke it should come fairly easily.
