S'how I still swim, this kid has a fighting chance.

I used to teach kids to swim. A lot of kids were scared and we had to coax them in and get them swimming. There was one little toddler though who would swim EVERYWHERE. I couldn't stop him I just had to try and keep up. His mom spied on us one day and was scared that I was letting him swim to the bottom of a 12 foot pool, but also impressed.

I hope that girl is around if I ever fall in.

Some kids really take to the water quickly, some don't-I've always thought it a combination of these:
age/exposure-imprint timing
instinctual/subconscious familiarity with genealogical heritage and proximity to water as factors
The quality of nurture (parents provide security, healthy environment.)

My first son was swimming at 6 months, we nightly went to the hot springs near our home and he became quite adept at squirming under water back and forth to not only ourselves, but anyone who happened to be in the pools. Pass the baby was our nightly game of catch, and met a lotta great people as well!
"Here, catch my baby when he bobs-up between your legs, lady!"

I found the pool entrance @51 seconds quite hilarious for some reason
