pete: almost drowned. >> almost drowned and 20 years later ironically i got a gold medal. ainsley: what singe a good age to teach our chidz to swim. >> i have been teaching over 15 years. i teach mommy and me classes. we will go on the bus. kids are naturally drawn to the water. i mean, i taught newborns. i have taught 10-year-olds and i have taught 60-year-olds. i think it's something that is a life skill that we are trying to get all the kids in the water and trying to get aconsults in the water, too. ainsley: i don't mean to hog all the questions. is it better because i have. i have some people hire people train them how to swim in a week. intense keep throwing them in the water or is the slow learning better. >> i prefer the slow learning. obviously being someone who almost drowned myself and had to go through many teachers to get comfortable.
