Chance's First Swim

(YouTube link)

Chance the dog has never been swimming, so he's not sure about it. Once he finally gets going, he doesn't want to stop! That's a good dog. -via Tastefully Offensive

That sounds about right. I tried to teach my daughters to swim last summer, but it was too hard to get them past their fears. I suspect that if I had started them as toddlers, they wouldn't have had any difficulty because they wouldn't have any fear.

Haven't you ever seen videos of swimming babies? (to lazy to find one for you). It seems very instinctive. But then I think you would lose that instinct if you didn't keep it up.

Because we think too much and fear too fast, you can't really drown anyway, but because we know fear that stops us from being able to do it right away.

At least, I think it's something like that.

Why can't we humans just instinctively start doing that?
