Her bio dad taught her. And my mom has a pool so she has always had access to water.

It's really not that hard. If they can kick their legs and hold their breath they learn quickly. I have mostly summer or early spring babies so they are in the water from a very very early age. 3-4 weeks depending on when their cords fall off. The hardest one to train was my 4 year old and he was 22 months but he was a slow learner at everything.

Wow! Never heard of someone swimming that early!

All ours except the 5 day old can swim. They can usually fully swim above and below the water by 15-18 months. We have pools and they are in the water from an early age.

No neither of my sons can swim. They are 25 months and almost 4 yrs old.

Yes, They are grown now but when at the babysitters long time ago, they learned. She had a pool and a daughter who helped.

My grandaughter was in the lake off our dock at 2. Learning to stand and hold the dock. And splash. Then the next summer, used a swim vest, then floaties, and then, suddenly swam across the family above ground pool without any help. The first lessons were about swim danger, and we found a wonderfull book about Stewie the Duck Learning to Swim. I think her parents will take her to lessons at the high school pool next summer. Years ago, we had a toddler drown just down lake from us, she was in the care of a 12 yr old cousin who lost track of her. It takes only a moment so we believe swim lessons are really important.
