My final photosession in Guernsey was at the bathing pools - it was high tide with a strong wind so good conditions for waves but you would not think for swimming. However, a couple of men and then two teenagers braved the waves for a bracing dip.

Innate swimming reflexes
Here are a couple of images from a series of images that I have been doing of babies at their early (4 to 6 month) swimming lessons.
It is amazing how easily they float (the jacket is for warmth not buoyancy). They also make swimming movements when underwater and have a gag reflex that closes the windpipe. This disappears at 9 months. They keep the eyes wide open.
