new inbox I only took her out and took her swimsuit off so it would not get wet and put batteries in her to see if she would swim. You do have to take the doll and put her in the water so that the water goes as high as the holes on the side of her body as soon as the body gets water, it starts swimming this doll has no swimmers hat included, but she does have her brush and her swimsuit. I do not believe she ever had a swimmer’s hat included.
