How deep can a newborn turtle swim?

Newborn turtles are not born with the ability to swim. They are quite clumsy in the water at first and rely on their instinct to find water and avoid predators.

Here's why:

* Limited Strength: Newborn turtles have weak flippers and underdeveloped lungs, making it difficult for them to propel themselves through water.

* Instinct: Their primary instinct is to reach a safe location, usually a body of water, as quickly as possible after hatching.

* Learning: They learn to swim gradually as they grow and develop their muscles.

Therefore, you shouldn't worry about newborn turtles being able to swim deep. Their focus is on survival, not exploring the depths.
