Swimming Reflex In Infants. amy talks about the natural reflexes babies are born with and how they can both help. some reflexes, called primitive reflexes, develop in the womb and they support a babies basic survival e.g. (you can cause this same reaction by blowing in your baby's face.) this reflex starts to go away after six months, but may last for up to a year. babies are not born with the ability to swim, but they do have some innate reflexes that allow them to move in water. a reflex called the bradycardic response (also called the diving reflex) makes babies hold their breath and open their eyes when submerged in water. when a baby is submerged in water, the natural survival reflex is to hold their breath and open their eyes. the swimming reflex is when babies instinctively move their arms and legs in a swimming or paddling motion when placed face down in water. As they gain more control over their movements, this reflex becomes less pronounced.
