Lipids are non-polar hydrocarbons and are non-water soluble. Van de vaals forces (attractions between non-polar molecules) hold them together. So in a way they are not REALLY polymers since they are not joined by covalent bonds. But it is convenient to think of them as polymers. They are joined by what are called ester linkages, these are condensation reactions that release H2O in the process of joining.
