+John Teacake MVC Posted January 19, 2004 MVC Share Posted January 19, 2004 probably because they are so small and light the float normally and then its just a case of them moving there arms and legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poulet Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 natural instinct that all mammals are born with and is lost with time, i cant remember if it's 3 weeks or 3 months after they're born Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riz360 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 yup its to do with natural instincts and being surrounded by liquid in the womb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredde87 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 what I allways thought if you dropped a baby into the water he/she would sink to the bottom... like a lump... (I just watched friends 908 :p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack_canada Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Humans are born to swim, we all could swim when we were first born, but we lost that ability because of lack of practice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eds Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 The documentary clips Ive seen where they drop babies in swimming pools and they "swim" to the surface is amazing. The look in their eyes is like, "yes this is my natural habitat". Of course if you leave them in the water they will drown because they do not know that you cannot breath in water.

Avada Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I saw this thing on TLC where parents were taking there babies swimming. They would take them under water and kind of push them to the other parent. The babies would come up and be laughing and smiling and all that happy stuff. But its because theyre so used to being in the womb. I guess they can easily adapt to the water because theyre not used to relying so much on their lungs..

**marisa** Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 in the 50's, they way to teach your baby to swim would be literally to drop it into the swimming pool at about 3 months... :o obviously there would be someone in the water ready to rescue it, but in 9/10 cases it would just swim to survive. Its prob. important to do it when they're young, cause otherwise they'd develop phobias of water etc. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xer34 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 babies have natural instincts, like all animals. when a babie hits water (as its face is submerged) it will automatically hold its breat, just as a bird will always build a nest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
