yes 2 no 5

yes 2 no 8 (sorry)

no i know what you mean though his friend in school has been able too do a length unaided just after turning 4. Although ds youngest in his swimming class who all need help.

SEA, i am v lazy. the total idea is kind of working, think furball was right!

ds can't by the way and has been having lessons for yonks

My 4yo can and my 6 yo could when he was 5. So an extra 2 to the yes column.
