After researching a few sites online the wife and I implemented a few infant / toddler swim lessons for Oludae. First we learned that he must first float on his back and second reach for the edge of the pool and bring himself to safety. I was amazed at his buoyancy. He could literally float without assistance within a month of his first lesson. He learned, on his own, to kick and propel himself through the water with his arms and legs. Please feel free comment if you'd like.
