VIDEO: Duck gets cold feet when it comes to learning to swim

He was supposed to take to it like a duck to water but this little duckling goes quackers every time his webbed feet get wet.

Now, the students who were there at his birth have hatched a cunning plan to get the newborn swimming.

The students of Mount Mercy college in Cork handed their treasured hand-reared duckling over to Rumley’s Open Farm on the city’s outskirts yesterday where he is set to start swimming lessons.
