Why would you leave a baby around water at this young age ? hope not !

Perhaps the baby wasn't left around the water. Children are quick, and when there is a full household it's hard to keep your eyes on every child, every second. The life long reward of these survival skills outweighs the discomfort the child faces for just a short time, a time they won't even remember.

You are all a piece of shit.. Stand by your child and take care of them. Stop this shit, STOP it!!! Babys should not be alone, I hatte to see what you are doing

Just out of curiosity, why are you watching stuff that makes you so angry? Aren’t there more pleasant things you could do?

There is nothing wrong with that! If you don't have a pool at home, the risk of drowning is probably relatively low.

@@MichaelKummer We tried ISR with the elder one for 2/3 classes but I guess it wasnt for us so we waited till he was 5 and the same went with the younger one. But I support ISR but for us, with our busy schedule and the excessive crying we didnt continue. But if ever we have another child Id want us to try ISR again

You're most welcome!

She is 8 years now, loves swimming (she is also very good at it) and never had a bad dream about it (that we know of). So I disagree with your assessment :)

I'm glad I was wrong about my assessment 👍

@@MichaelKummer thanks for taking the time to let him know that it doesn't cause nightmares. It might even save the baby's life at some point.

No kids were harmed in this video. The infant you saw is now eight years old and loves swimming and diving. So I doubt her infant survival classes had any negative impact on her.

Wym with that last line?

Thats so messed up. A baby is a baby. The skin color doesnt matter.

Lol.

Drowning is cruel traumatizing and dangerous! Children cry when you put them in the car seat yet you put them in anyway because it is safe. No parent likes to watch these babies cry but they are learning some thing that is vital. No parent can watch their child 24 seven because you have to eat you have to prepare meals etc. and too many children have gotten away and drowned within seconds except these babies learn the life-saving skill of floating on their back until help comes

Hi Cathy! Because otherwise, they float right back up ;) Cheers, Michael

Right on!

It is only funny because you know she got out safely, plus the parents turned the kid over when she couldn't

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!

It is painful to watch, the baby is crying but it's not cruel. I'm sure our little one wasn't pleased (hence the crying) but I can tell you that even seven years later she still (occasionally) cries like this if something doesn't go her way. Like when the Else dress we ordered was too big for her. ✌🏻 PS: She is back at swim classes after a 2-year break and absolutely loves it. So, evidently, the water didn't cause any trauma.

@@MichaelKummer I hope the infant swimming class is not the reason why she is so emotional.

@@leelee-cp2mv Considering that all toddlers, teens and (young) adults use crying to express emotions from time to time (even the ones who never took swim classes at a young age), I'm relatively certain there is no correlation.

@@MichaelKummer It's ok. It is your choice. Learning swimming is good but it should be done in a suitable stage. I will never force my baby struggle in the water like this and he/she cannot say "I am tired.", "I am scared.", "I want to take a rest." or even "I don't want to do it anymore."

@@leelee-cp2mv Completely agree. These so-called "swimming lessons" are nothing but fear based. The baby is panicking, literally panicking to turn himself over!!! See minute 1:38. Why not just watch your kid around water like a responsible parent should so this "training" isn't a back up?? I taught my kids how to survive in water in many difficult situations and I did it out of love and patience, not terrifying them!

Right on!

🙏🏻

🙌🏻

Totally agreed! The baby in the video is now seven years old and she decided to join the local swim team because she still loves being in and under the water.

Did it cry? I couldn’t tell. It seemed he was actually swimming on his own at one point … probably trying to get away from her, lol!

@@joaniepietrafitta7292 did everything to save her life.. Hehe I feel bad for laughing but the struggle is so funny 🤣🤣

I noticed that too. Crying and then dunked face down in the water. Maybe this was the "how to quickly stop a baby from crying" lesson.

No idea what you're saying :)

That's exactly right!

Every time I hear about a child drowning in a pool, I feel terribly sorry for the child (and its parents) and wish these parents had known about infant survival swimming. It might have prevented the accident from happening.

@@MichaelKummer All kidding aside, especially if you have a pool at home, this method could save her life.. It could very well be an infant's first self-defense lesson. "Better be safe than sorry" 👍👍👍👍

2 children have died after graduating this course. I don’t think a child always remembers to float on their back even they are alone and panicked, crying!!!

@@taramann6960 sad to hear about the deaths. Pretty sure more helpless infants have died as well

It is not harmful and the kid is now 8 and loves swimming

I appreciate your opinion, Donna!

Thanks

Maybe you'd like to share some of those "smarter" ways to teach infants how not to drown if they fall into a pool.

If you don't want your child to drown in a pool, here's a good idea : just keep an eye on her, all the time, and don't own a pool until she's older and able to swim after being taught to do it in a way that did not terrify her. Its funny how people never care about the emotions babies can feel, only because they cannot use words to express them.

@@juliaevans2375 what happens when your baby is with the babysitter? Or with the grandparents? Or aunts uncles and cousins? This isn’t a swimming lesson it’s teaching survival if and when they fall into water & all professionals will tell u to keep an eye on your child despite having isr lessons. I understand and it’s hard to see kids struggle at first but I’d rather my child learn to not drown rather than to drown...as parents we cannot always be around our children 24/7 365 especially if you live apart from the child’s mother or father. Unless you’re the type of person who doesn’t let anyone else watch their children this is a good option for parents. Perhaps not for your household.

✌🏻

@@MichaelKummer This is ridiculous. How and when is an INFANT who can not even crawl, much less walk, end up in a swimming pool?? Kinda reminds me of the videos of moms walking in on their 1 or 2 year old who has made a mess in the kitchen, smeared peanut butter all over their room, ointment all over their sibling, etc...WHY were they unsupervised long enough to be able to do that??!! I am all for survival training when they are toddlers but an infant (who should be supervised) being held under water serves no purpose but to risk their lives or their health. Ever hear of dry drowning??

✌🏻

The love it. Mine was swimming and diving off the diving board at eight months.

Too dangerous

Im absolutly with you, its terrible Deborah

Very traumatising

It’s not cruel. Babies have a reflex to hold their breath under water when they swim. They don’t ingest any water, it helps them develop motor skills and it teaches them life saving skills and teaches them to not fear the water at a young age. It’s recommended to teach your babies to swim as an infant. This is with a trained professional, it’s not cruel at all. It actually does nothing but benefit the baby for the reasons I listed. I know it can look scary at first and it can be hard to watch, but it helps your baby develop motor skills and body strength and it could save your child’s life. They’re in good hands.

It tickles me to trigger people like you. Isn’t that why so many videos have background music?

It only looks that way. But if you do some research, you'll find out that infant swimming is perfectly safe.

🙏🏻

It's never too late to learn it :)

There are many things in life that don't look safe but are and vice versa :)
