The choice of swimming as locomotor behaviour was justified by the fact that it could be elicited from birth to adult age. We have recorded electromyographic activities during swimming movements, on flexor muscles in front legs and hind legs (Spinodeltoidus and Gluteus superficialis). The mean frequency of activity of each limb during swimming, for animals aged from 0 to 20 or 30 days was then computed. The results showed an increase in frequency between 0 and 20 days from 1 to 4 Hz. This increase was not linear, but composed of different successive phases. After a first period of increase between 0 and 6 days (slope 0.25), for the hind limbs and the fore-limbs, we noted a plateau between 6 and 12 days during which the frequency was stable. This plateau was followed by another increase in the frequency values between 12 and 16 days (slope 0.30), followed by another plateau that corresponded to the adult frequency.
