QUESTION: How long can a rat swim? Survey saysâ¦ 15 minutes. For 15 minutes, a rat tossed into a bucket of water will kick its little rat legs, paddle like a dog, and fight to keep its head above water. So what happens after 15 minutes? The rat sinks like a little rat rock. So you might conclude from this data that a ratâs physiology can only withstand 15 minutes of swimming before it ultimately succumbs to a watery grave. But where this little tale gets interesting has nothing to do with rat physiology, but rather rat psychology.
Babies who begin to learn to swim between the ages of 6 months-18 months old will take around one to two years to learn to be safe in the water. Children who start swimming lessons between the ages of 18 months-3 years old will take about one year to learn to be safe in the water. Children older than 3 years old with no previous swimming experience will take about 6 months to one year to learn to be safe in the water. With group lessons, the process of learning to swim is slower. The sooner your child begins to learn to swim, the sooner your child will be safe in the water.
