Default When can puppies dog paddle?

Does anyone know when puppies learn to swim? One of my babies fell in the pool today. Luckily he landed on the step and didn't go under. I have taken one into the pool - he didn't mind getting wet, but he didn't paddle his feet. They will be 7 weeks tomorrow, but they are getting so fast now, I am getting worried about the pool and the pond - two have rolled into the pond - they are so curious. I put up a fence for them today, cause it is so hard to get all five to the yard and keep them there. For safety's sake, I would really like them to be able to swim as soon as possible. They don't yet have the depth perception (or fear) not to walk off the edge.
