If you read the article posted, you'd know that human babies are quite capable of swimming from birth (indeed, some folks actually give birth in swimming pools to ease the process).

I'm a former swim coach and have taught babies to "swim." They've got a breathholding reflex which enables them to float and can pump their limbs a little, but they don't have a natural instinct or capacity for swimming.

As to a human infants comfort and/or affinity to water, it is easily explained by the dynamics of the human womb and the large, water filled embryonic sac.Sara kicked hard enough sometimes, I can believe she thought she was swimming in a very small pool.LOL
