River water in Hubei Province in central China drops to 13 degrees Celsius this season. Yet, that didn\'t stop a three and half year old from swimming across the 300-meter-wide Jushui River, said the local Evening News on Wednesday. And she did it twice on the day before yesterday, which drew quite a large audience. According to her parents, the baby girl named Hu Juan was found to be particularly interested in swimming when she was only three months old. One year later, the baby was already capable of floating on the water and could swim at the age of two. It\'s reported that Hu enjoys swimming even in winter. Experts from the local No.161 Hospital explained this as a perfectly normal phenomenon since fetuses dwell in amniotic fluid and have a strong connection with water. However, he suggested swimming in cold water was not a good idea for kids at this young age.
