At around six months old, infants can be introduced to water for the purpose of having fun and getting used to being in a swimming pool. As children reach the age of four, they can begin to learn the basics of swimming, and by five years old, they can start to master the front crawl stroke. However, it's important to keep in mind that every child is different and may progress at their own pace when it comes to learning to swim.
