ailbheTwice in the recent past I have talked about babies swimming, to two different sets of people.
It's truly amazing, how babies swim. They are born knowing how. They know to stop breathing when they go underwater; they keep their eyes open so that they can see what's happening; their arms and legs automatically propel them where they want to go. They know how to steer their bodies through the water, under water, and they can hold their breath effectively for ages before they start to breathe the water.
Babies don't know how to drown.
