How old were you when you learned how to swim and ride a bike?

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

I didn't do lessons until I was in like grade 5 but could safely use a best etc and get out of the pool.

Both girls can use a noodle or life jacket & swim alone, DD2 can jump off my knee & swim under water to the edge on her own, she's 2.

DD1 is learning to ride her bike with training wheels, she's 3.

I rode a bike before school.

Thanks ZF! It is hard to know what is a reasonable expectation at her age .

My DD1 can swim the width of our pool which is about 3.5 mtrs from edge to edge with no vest or floaties, just herself and she is 3 we are so proud of her. She's been swimming since 4mths old.

She can ride her bike with training wheels too.

Me, I can't remember I think I was 8 when I rode with no trainers & well I was a swimmer as a kid and trained after school daily so swimming is in our blood!!

But now I'm just lazy & fat
