Melissa had always said that once Abby was born and we moved, that she planned on getting Abby and her enrolled in a Mommy/Baby swim class. Living this close to the ocean, Abby was going to learn to swim at some point anyway, and you hear good things about starting them young.
About a year ago, they started a weekly class in town. Abby was 9-10 months old, and wasn't the youngest. The "class" tries to get kids used to the water and starts to teach basic safety skills (like crawling along the edge of the pool and climbing out). Last Fall she graduated to the next level where she gets to wear a small flotation pack and explore being out of the grasp of Mom (or Dad). Last week she started to put together the motions of kicking and paddling. When she got into the pool this week, she was motoring around pretty well.
