Chrissy Teigen [told PEOPLE](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2016/07/05/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-daughter-luna-learn-to-swim/) that she “can’t swim, but I’m trying to learn for Luna, of course.” She continues, “There is nothing I want to do more than to get her into the water and for her to learn to swim.” Luna, however, won’t be the only member of the family learning how to swim. [Teigen](http://motto.time.com/4393118/fergie-milf-money-video/) explains, “John can’t [swim](http://motto.time.com/4391864/jennifer-weiner-swimsuit-picture/), either.” Teigen expressed that she didn’t want to feel “helpless” when it comes to swimming, “so we’re going to try to learn for Luna. We’re going to have someone come to the house.” Teigen rejects the notion that she and Legend don’t know how to swim due to fear. She says, “I have no [fear](http://motto.time.com/4274785/how-to-overcome-fears/) of water. John has no fear of water. Or animals, or sharks or what have you. We just didn’t have water in our face when we were growing up.” Grab those floaties, baby Luna! ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4393691/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-swimming-lessons/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4393691/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-swimming-lessons/"},"headline":"Chrissy Teigen and John Legend Want to Learn to Swim","datePublished":"2016-07-05T19:25:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:02:52.544Z","description":"They're going to take lessons for the sake of their daughter","url":"https://time.com/4393691/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-swimming-lessons/","keywords":["motto","celebrities","News"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd92b14573bb2ae25/69889aaca988ca1dd46b881f/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-swimming.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd92b14573bb2ae25/69889aaca988ca1dd46b881f/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-swimming.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"FYC Event - Spike's \"Lip Sync Battle\" - Arrivals","caption":"FYC Event - Spike's \"Lip Sync Battle\" - Arrivals","creditText":"Paul Archuleta—FilmMagic/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4393691/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-swimming-lessons/","name":"Chrissy Teigen and John Legend Want to Learn to Swim"}}]}] ```
