Twins can swim length of swimming pool at nine months old - Mirror Online

These twins have amazed their parents by being able to swim the length of a swimming pool – at only NINE MONTHS OLD. Like most babies Ellie and William Trykush cannot to sit up, crawl or walk on their own, but amazingly they can swim the entire length of a 25m pool unaided.

My neice and nephew were "water babies" at 4 mos. old; mama and daddy routinely had the babies in their pool. My neice swam (+crewed) for her college at UNC/CH and nephew w/Stanford. Never too early to start.

Good for those babies and their parents for acclimating them to water at such a young age.

There is a mantra here in Fl: "Babies drown without a sound".

The earlier any baby with proximity to water gets proper water training skills, the better.
