cause they think about drowning too much

kids dont think about drowning

when i was younger and being taught to swim my uncle just tossed me in the deep end

i would literally sit at the bottom until he came and got me, and after the second time i swam to the top and been swimmin ever since

I do and I love it. Swimming in the ocean>>>

Being that we are submerged in water as fetuses, once we are born we still have that memory and ability to "swim" without having been taught. We are actually able to hold our breath underwater. It is best to get babies in the water before six months of age as we have kicking reflexes which weakens over time. So we are sort of able to swim from birth but of course with practice as we can still drown and we aren't aware of what we are doing, it's more like a survival reflex.
I've seen one and a half year olds who would run, jump in the pool, swim to the edge, climb out and do it all over again.
