I would have thought at that age they shouldn't be, besides I would say they have been swimmers since the first day of school.

Default odd assumption....

If kids are at their first day of schooling (aged 5 years?) what are the percentages of those who arrive as already proficient swimmers?

I think you would be surprised at the percentage of kids proficient in swimming because so many people install home pools .

Some of the pools in this area have mother and baby sessions in the warmer shallow training pools.
Pampers makes special baby nappy speedos for the very young, but it is probably best not to get the water in your eyes or mouth after a mother and baby session.

We don't have a home pool, but my three kids began swim lessons at the Y when they were 5 or 6, and two of them became competitive swimmers.

When I lived in South Carolina I had a home pool. Its almost a prerequisite to have when someone buys or sells a home anymore in the southeast and southwest US.

shaulis - as you might imagine, it's pretty unusual to have a swimming pool in the northeast, especially in Maine.
