How to teach a baby to swim

We have had a stretch of great weather the past few days. It has been in the 90's with lots of sunshine. The pool warmed up to 78 so we decided to take Claire for a dip. The first couple of times we just floated around and let her get accustom to the water. It is our goal to make her comfortable in the water so that she will learn to swim and help ease some of the fears of owning a pool. Emily, one of our nannies, teaches swim lessons and she gave us some pointers for Claire. As you can see from the video, Sheila tried to blow in her face which causes infants to hold their breath. She then went completely under with her. Claire did swallow a little bit of water but overall it was a success. Our plan is to keep doing this every so often until she learns to hold her breath on her own. It will be an exciting summer
