Bathing and swimming

Question
I have a 13 weeks old female lab and I would like to know how old should she be before I can bathe her. Also, How old should a lab be before you can teach it to swim?

Thanks

Answer
you can bath her now but only bath a dog every 1-3 months as the bathing strips all oil from the coat and can cause itchy flaky skin. I am unsure about when to begin teaching her to swim but since she is almost completed her vacciens you can begin now but she should have a vaccine for "beaver fever"
