My son has been doing swimming lessons since the age of 3 months he is now two. Babies don't SWIM if put in the water but they will float to the top. It's not something i would suggest trying in a backyard pool. They can't save themselves from drowning their head just pops out of the water then if not grabbed quickly enough they will go back under. I think that all babies and children should be enrolled in swimming!!!!

NO NO NO they float and if they flip they'll drowned
I agree if you want them to swim take a class with supervision and never go swimming with just you and the baby make sure there are other people around for safety purposes

Yes but I would not try it unless you are in a special class for infant swimming. There have been a lot of infants that have drowned when their parents kept them swimming too long.

I bet they could but it doesn't sound safe. A baby could just as easily drown.

They have to learn like everything else. Do you take a book, shove it in their faces and expect them to read it perfectly? NO!

They can swim, it's just that they can't hold their breath so they will drown.

Yep they sure can. Up until the age of six months. After that.........they drown.
