@@isaiahbuckbee7037dry drown and yes they can still drown. The instructor basically throws them in and will make them struggle for quite some time. Sometimes they intake water into their lungs that they can’t cough It up and dry drown some time later.

What is the purpose for a baby, that is not crawling nor walking or even walking babies, to do these classes. I mean they have a parent so they shouldn’t have to rescue themselves.
I think every parent should do this for their babies. Especially if they own a pool, visit people that own a pool, or go to places that is around water often. Little ones are so sneaky and fast it only takes a second, this will save lives.
And most people don't know that drowning is silent. Esp bc in movies and stuff they always have a lot of splashing and yelling. My big sister always talks abt when I was a toddler she left me in the bathtub alone for 2 min & when she came back I was fully submerged just looking back up at her.

Over 98 percent of drownings occur in people who never planned on going into water. So a home pool isn’t the most likely place for it to happen. A small stream or even a fish pond all of them are dangerous. Everyone should be doing this not just those who have a pool
People are always blaming the parents for not watching the kid. Sometimes they are at fault, but 3-4 yr olds aren't always supervised every second. And they're really fast running around a corner or sth. If a parent tells me they never lost their kids out of their sight for even a second, theyre lying, or have a leash on the kid so its physically impossible to run away. It can always happen.
This is sooo important! I was a lifeguard for 7 years and we had many baby/parent swim classes. They are soooo important for both baby and the parents because it helps teach the parents how to make sure their baby is safe around water. Even before I was a lifeguard, I saved 3 babies from drowning all because the parents didn’t know what they needed to stay safe.

There was not enough water in their face to induce dry drowning. They didn't Breathe the water in, and the moment babies take their first breath, they instinctively kno NOT to breathe in water. They would literally have to be held under Water to breathe in enough water to dry drown.
@SiobhanNorton-oq5mt In case she fell in a pool, I think. That way she can float by herself in any situation and clothes, and be safe until someone take her out of the pool
@@SiobhanNorton-oq5mtyou want a kid to go put on a bathing suit before drowning?? 😂 accidents happen in normal clothes and it's heavier than swimsuits, so they need to learn how to save themselves with that extra fabric
Awesome mom. And I think it's a good idea to get kids to swim very early. Because when they get to the toddler age, the fear kicks in and it's harder or longer for them to learn. For example, my daughters. But programs like this should be made accessible and affordable for all kids. All kids need to learn how to swim.
It’s definitely scary, but if it is going to be a skill that gives a parent a few more precious seconds to get to their baby in an emergency then it’s well worth it. These classes are lead by trained professionals often one on one and in a controlled environment so as triggering as it is to watch just know that it’s safe an research is starting to show is truly a good parenting decision.
I'm used to it because I've seen swimming classes for babies for most of my life and I know how safe they are. Trust me, you'd rather do that than let your baby/toddler actually drown
Love seeing parents getting their babies to be water Safe, it’s not about learning to swim at this age, just teaching them how to survive if they fall into a pool or some kind of water, every parent should be doing This…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
If I was a baby having to do this I’ll be like “I tRiEd tO sCrEaMMM bUt mY hEaD wAs unDerwAtEr” Edit:I hate to be that person but I didn’t expect this much likes!!!😅
Most babies really like learning how to swim. Toddlers on the other hand get really scared and it is much harder to teach toddlers how to swim, once kids reach preschool age they start loving learning how to swim again. I personally think the sooner kids learn to swim the better. I started teaching my daughter how to swim at 2 month old. (All we did at that age was play in the water, splash and I had her float in her back while I held her head on my shoulder or in my hands). She could swim independently by the age of three, she could go off the diving board by age 4, and she started on a competitive swim team at age eight. Now she wants to be a professional mermaid, and sounds crazy to say this, but it is actually a very viable career option for her.
Most babies really like learning how to swim. Toddlers on the other hand, or at least most toddlers, get really scared, scream a lot during lessons, and it is much harder to teach them how to do this, they can still learn but it takes a lot longer. Once kids reach preschool age they start loving learning how to swim again. I personally think the sooner kids learn to swim the better. You never know when a child will need this skill to save their life. Last year a mom of one of my swim students (a 4 year old), told me that her son fell into a pond while they were at a park over the weekend, she said she had never been more scared in her life, to watch him disappear into the deep murky water, but he immediately popped back up rolled onto his back to breath, then rolled back over and swam to the side, and climbed out. He fell in on accident, which surprised him, but other than that he was completely fine and not scared at all. This was just a few weeks after he learned to do this independently in swim lessons. I started teaching my own daughter how to swim at 2 months old. (All we did at that age was play in the water, splash and float on her back, while I held her head on my shoulder or in my hands). She could float independently when she was just tiny, she could swim independently by the age of three, she could go off the diving board by age 4, and she started on a competitive swim team at age eight. Now she wants to be a professional mermaid, and this sounds crazy, but it is actually a viable career option for her.
This is what I was taught at this age here in Australia, and it has saved my life more than I can count throughout my life. These courses should be free and MANDATORY
That’s beautiful! I’m 44 an just started swimming lessons an I’m loving it! Oh but I’m totally exhausted afterwards but I will not go on another vacation an don’t get to enjoy the pool or know how to save my life or someone else’s life! You can learn at any age because I am! Beautiful! ❤
I mean she ain't swimming she is just floating I don't really see reason for her to chuck her into water this young. My dad thought me how to swim without floaties when I was 5 I think
@@localtownsimpbecause if god forbid she GETS in the water, guess what happens? She sinks. Like a rock. Instead, BECAUSE of these classes, she knows to roll and float, and to move to the edge of the pool or to simply wait and stay calm. You cannot possibly be this stupid to say “well I didn’t do it so why is she, I was 5” Good for you. It’s better to start early so it’s an ingrained skill from birth.
No, pediatricians do not recommend this. There is no evidence to support that it does anything other than put the baby at risk. It’s better to start when they can at least hold their head up, toddler age.
@@Goldenretriever-k8m”Studies show that the best time for a child to start learning swim basics is between the ages of 1 and 4. However, infants aged 6 months to 3 years can participate in Parent and Child Lessons at the Y to start enjoying and getting acclimated to the water.” One second of googling.
I getting a baby to learn how to swim early, is important! My parents had me in swimming courses like this when I was six months old, but my brother didn’t learn how to swim properly until he was five, and before that he had close calls where he needed to be saved, and as far as I’m aware that never happened with me, you are a great mother❤
Awww she's so cute. ❤❤😊Really proud of her. You are such a great mom Melissa. Keep it up. She's growing up so fast.❤ I remember watching the gender reveal and was so excited to see Aria. Really time flies. Can't believe she's almost 10 months old. Lots of love❤❤
She looks soooo cute with that medal! She’s so lucky to have a mom like you. I’m so glad she got to learn how to swim! I don’t know how to swim, so seeing this makes me soooo happy.
Wow. Your baby's confidence underwater is adorable. She seems very intelligent. I think it's a very good job you're doing allowing her learn important life skills from a tender age.
There is no evidence to support it though. Babies who take these ‘swim’ classes still drown at the same rates as babies who don’t. It’s better to start at toddler age.
This is smart parenting. By her learning to swim at such a young age can keep her safe from accidental drowning. It also teaches mom how to let go and trust her baby. Pretty cool. I’ll do this when I have my own
There is no evidence to support that teaching infants these ‘swim’ lessons reduces drowning risk whatsoever. They can’t even hold their head up. It’s better to start at toddler age.
So precious ❤❤❤ it makes my heart scream in fear when I see a baby in the water but I'm so thankful she has the opportunity to learn to survive in a safe protected environment 🙏❤️ good job mom! And good job baby❤️
Beyond amazing. Drowning is silent, everyone. There's often no warning. So its beyond important to prepare your children, especially those who aren't strong enough to pull themselves out of the pool. Though I do recommend always getting training at this stage done with a professional. I've known a lot of people who thought they could teach something 'so easy' to their kids, only to severely endanger them.
@@clownrat5759 But neither the teacher nor the mother helped the baby to get its head out of the water while it was struggling. Babies under 2 years drown within 3 seconds when they have both their mouth and their nose covered with water. This one had both their mouth and nose under water for 6 seconds which means the double. Moreover, it visibly choked after the third second and instead of pushing their head outside the water the head was falling downward because the baby was not strong enough to push it out due to its very young age. So with their mother and a teacher, as kind and qualified as they can be, who are indeed only a few inches away from the baby and watching them carefully but don't help them when they need it to be out of danger and can't help themselves, the baby is not safe at all and has infinite chances to drawn and die within seconds. How do I know that? I'm a life guard who works at a swimming pool and I see one baby drowning every year, try to save them and see all of those doctors that come in ambulances and do their best to save the babies lives. Sometimes they survive, sometimes not. Imagine one of those babies who died was you and you would never have achieved what you achieved until now.
@@sophieohrshe was.. a baby. As in, literally doesn’t start forming coherent memories until the age of 5, a baby. You’re a total snowflake if you’re upset at a baby learning LIFE SAVING skills. Would you rather a dead baby than a wet one? :)
God! Few years down the line, ur daughter is gonna speak on national television how she is blessed to have u as a mom who is both super caring and brave! M simply overwhelmed looking at this video! My girl is 6 months old and I find this video so inspiring!
No. This is just some pseudo science 70s hippie crap. There is no evidence to support this, and it’s risky for the baby, not to mention uncomfortable. Pediatricians recommend starting at toddler age at the earliest, so they can hold their head up.
I don't want my baby being dry drowned by a moron Karen. I'd rather watch my baby around bodies of water until my child is old enough to learn to swim without the risk of them ingesting water because they cannot control their breathing pattern.
They can’t hold their heads up yet. It’s a waste of money and risky. There is no evidence that swim lessons for infants reduces drowning risk. It’s better to start swim lessons when they are a toddler, between 1-4.
@@Goldenretriever-k8mnah. Newborns actually have the innate reflex to try and float still built into them from being into the womb. Starting them when they are younger than 6 months is actually really good as it can contribute to develop that reflex.
I didn't learn how to swim until I was 19, resulted in a very large fear of being near any body of water because I knew if I fell in I wouldn't be able to get out, having programs like this accessible for young ages is an amazing thing so people don't have to grow up afraid of something so amazing.
She is doing so well but I'm probably the only one who thinks this but every time I see a video of a baby this young swimming i get so nervous thinking they could drown
This is so important. I grew up between a huge lake and a river. The amount of people who die because they mix up bathing with swimming is troubling. I think, you should also teach your children how to behave in open waters
I learnt to float when I was 6 in a swimming lesson after having armbands and it was just like this magical moment where I could suddenly do it. I am a man of rigid logic and I still can't explain.
Bro once i went to a waterpark there was this cute little girl that kept diving and she made me dive in with her we did this for some time she wasnt even scare although she had floaties it was like 5 feet bigger than her i think she knew how to swim and she was like 3 telling me about her self her parents werent even near cause they trusted her .i missed her.❤
I love that the class includes her in her regular clothes. When toddlers fall in, they are often in clothes that will sop up the water and throw them off balance. Being able to right herself in a heavy PJ is one of the best skills she can have as a toddler. Great video❤.
I'm a swim teacher at my local pool and to me this is Incredible! I work with kids this age or older and have never seen such a young child doing this good
a baby shouldn’t be unsupervised near water this young regardless. or it’s bad parenting i think. when a baby is old enough to be unsupervised near water to understand how to swim without drowning them when there young then they would be taught swimming lessons when they can talk and be able to be told kick your legs turn around and understand idk lol
@@sophieohrSophie, I don’t think you even have kids. Get off your high horse of “nOooO baby should EEEEVER be unsupervised ever!” As if accidents don’t exist. “Every year in the US, 3,572 people die from drowning. Nine hundred and forty-five of them are children.” So was every single case in that nine hundred and forty five just a case of neglect? No. I don’t think so. Shut your mouth and use your head, or your baby will be the forty sixth 🤷♂️
As a swim teacher that does classes with children, it would be amazing, if more parents did this. We have so many kids even older than 8 that are afraid of water or putting their head even remotely near it. This would give us, the kids and the parents such a boost and would take a lot of the stress from all of us too.
“For how long have you been swimming?”
“30 years”
“You’re 30-”
“Exactly.”

There was not enough water in their face to induce dry drowning. They didn't Breathe the water in, and the moment babies take their first breath, they instinctively kno NOT to breathe in water. They would literally have to be held under Water to breathe in enough water to dry drown.
@@ricaivory6571 yeah lies. All it needs to happen is for them to inhale water.
Omg she’s already 9 months and almost 10 months old and she knows how to help herself. You’re such a good mom Melissa keep it up I love you!
Why is she in her day clothes in the pool 🏊♀️
@@SiobhanNorton-oq5mtbecause she is learning how to float in the water if she ever were to fall in the pool with her clothes on
@SiobhanNorton-oq5mt In case she fell in a pool, I think. That way she can float by herself in any situation and clothes, and be safe until someone take her out of the pool
@@SiobhanNorton-oq5mtyou want a kid to go put on a bathing suit before drowning?? 😂 accidents happen in normal clothes and it's heavier than swimsuits, so they need to learn how to save themselves with that extra fabric
Babies have no fear and that’s why it’s so easy to teach them to swim. Great job folks.
Awesome mom. And I think it's a good idea to get kids to swim very early. Because when they get to the toddler age, the fear kicks in and it's harder or longer for them to learn. For example, my daughters. But programs like this should be made accessible and affordable for all kids. All kids need to learn how to swim.
Idk if this is me being dramatic but i get the chills when i see these shows
It’s definitely scary, but if it is going to be a skill that gives a parent a few more precious seconds to get to their baby in an emergency then it’s well worth it. These classes are lead by trained professionals often one on one and in a controlled environment so as triggering as it is to watch just know that it’s safe an research is starting to show is truly a good parenting decision.
I thought it was just me
No, it’s not just you all.
I'm used to it because I've seen swimming classes for babies for most of my life and I know how safe they are. Trust me, you'd rather do that than let your baby/toddler actually drown
@@TheSmithSpecialthese "trained professionals" will dry drown your child and take no responsibility.
These courses should have funding for families who can't afford them. All kids have the right to learn to swim and survive.
if this is on your heart, consider organizing a non profit and raising funds to do this0

HAJHAAHHHAHAHAHAH
This comment is underrated 😂😂
Most babies really like learning how to swim. Toddlers on the other hand get really scared and it is much harder to teach toddlers how to swim, once kids reach preschool age they start loving learning how to swim again. I personally think the sooner kids learn to swim the better. I started teaching my daughter how to swim at 2 month old. (All we did at that age was play in the water, splash and I had her float in her back while I held her head on my shoulder or in my hands). She could swim independently by the age of three, she could go off the diving board by age 4, and she started on a competitive swim team at age eight. Now she wants to be a professional mermaid, and sounds crazy to say this, but it is actually a very viable career option for her.

Most babies really like learning how to swim. Toddlers on the other hand, or at least most toddlers, get really scared, scream a lot during lessons, and it is much harder to teach them how to do this, they can still learn but it takes a lot longer. Once kids reach preschool age they start loving learning how to swim again. I personally think the sooner kids learn to swim the better. You never know when a child will need this skill to save their life. Last year a mom of one of my swim students (a 4 year old), told me that her son fell into a pond while they were at a park over the weekend, she said she had never been more scared in her life, to watch him disappear into the deep murky water, but he immediately popped back up rolled onto his back to breath, then rolled back over and swam to the side, and climbed out. He fell in on accident, which surprised him, but other than that he was completely fine and not scared at all. This was just a few weeks after he learned to do this independently in swim lessons. I started teaching my own daughter how to swim at 2 months old. (All we did at that age was play in the water, splash and float on her back, while I held her head on my shoulder or in my hands). She could float independently when she was just tiny, she could swim independently by the age of three, she could go off the diving board by age 4, and she started on a competitive swim team at age eight. Now she wants to be a professional mermaid, and this sounds crazy, but it is actually a viable career option for her.
This is what I was taught at this age here in Australia, and it has saved my life more than I can count throughout my life. These courses should be free and MANDATORY
The fact that this baby can float while i cant even float or swim properly is wild💀
Aria is growing up so fast! She's already almost 10 months old!
Damn, I’m proud of her! I can barely swim, so seeing a young child do this is super cool. Congrats Aria!!
@@salihahaha. slay lol
I bet this is just as much a lesson for the parent in letting go, as it is a new skill for the baby ❤
That’s beautiful! I’m 44 an just started swimming lessons an I’m loving it! Oh but I’m totally exhausted afterwards but I will not go on another vacation an don’t get to enjoy the pool or know how to save my life or someone else’s life! You can learn at any age because I am! Beautiful! ❤
Thank you for doing that. I’m a teacher and there are so many children nowadays that don’t know how to swim..
I mean she ain't swimming she is just floating
I don't really see reason for her to chuck her into water this young. My dad thought me how to swim without floaties when I was 5 I think
@@localtownsimpbecause if god forbid she GETS in the water, guess what happens? She sinks. Like a rock. Instead, BECAUSE of these classes, she knows to roll and float, and to move to the edge of the pool or to simply wait and stay calm. You cannot possibly be this stupid to say “well I didn’t do it so why is she, I was 5”
Good for you. It’s better to start early so it’s an ingrained skill from birth.
@localtownsimp bc there is no age limit to accidently fall into water dumbass
No, pediatricians do not recommend this. There is no evidence to support that it does anything other than put the baby at risk. It’s better to start when they can at least hold their head up, toddler age.
@@Goldenretriever-k8m”Studies show that the best time for a child to start learning swim basics is between the ages of 1 and 4. However, infants aged 6 months to 3 years can participate in Parent and Child Lessons at the Y to start enjoying and getting acclimated to the water.”
One second of googling.
I getting a baby to learn how to swim early, is important! My parents had me in swimming courses like this when I was six months old, but my brother didn’t learn how to swim properly until he was five, and before that he had close calls where he needed to be saved, and as far as I’m aware that never happened with me, you are a great mother❤

I wish all communities had programs like this. Babies much younger than this one can learn to turn over and float to save their lives.

Crazy
I don’t know why it is crazy a baby just swimming in the pool myself 😅😨😭😱😨😢🫢
Awww she's so cute. ❤❤😊Really proud of her. You are such a great mom Melissa. Keep it up. She's growing up so fast.❤ I remember watching the gender reveal and was so excited to see Aria. Really time flies. Can't believe she's almost 10 months old. Lots of love❤❤
Good job girly! We’re all proud of you
My mom did this with me 40 years ago. I've always been comfortable and confident in the water.
She looks soooo cute with that medal! She’s so lucky to have a mom like you. I’m so glad she got to learn how to swim! I don’t know how to swim, so seeing this makes me soooo happy.
Wow. Your baby's confidence underwater is adorable.
She seems very intelligent.
I think it's a very good job you're doing allowing her learn important life skills from a tender age.
There is no evidence to support it though. Babies who take these ‘swim’ classes still drown at the same rates as babies who don’t. It’s better to start at toddler age.
I can't believe
She did amazing❤️❤️
😢

@@melaniedebruyn3631it’s kinda scary and terrifying like can’t u imagine………
You are such a responsible parent! Good job, mummy! Now you have a baby girl who is not only beautiful but also a medal winner for baby swimming.
This is smart parenting. By her learning to swim at such a young age can keep her safe from accidental drowning. It also teaches mom how to let go and trust her baby. Pretty cool. I’ll do this when I have my own
There is no evidence to support that teaching infants these ‘swim’ lessons reduces drowning risk whatsoever. They can’t even hold their head up. It’s better to start at toddler age.
Wver heard of dry drowning? Yeah...not smart parenting, also extremely lazy.
So precious ❤❤❤ it makes my heart scream in fear when I see a baby in the water but I'm so thankful she has the opportunity to learn to survive in a safe protected environment 🙏❤️ good job mom! And good job baby❤️
She is beautiful. She is very coordinated on flipping over and keeping her face out of water.
Beyond amazing.
Drowning is silent, everyone. There's often no warning. So its beyond important to prepare your children, especially those who aren't strong enough to pull themselves out of the pool.
Though I do recommend always getting training at this stage done with a professional. I've known a lot of people who thought they could teach something 'so easy' to their kids, only to severely endanger them.
When you teach a kid something or they get used to it at such a young age- they will love it
Who else was scared for the baby’s life 😭
Who else is wondering how the bunny fur suit isn't wet?
Not me because it’s in a controlled environment with a teacher and her mother.
@@clownrat5759girl plz
Me
@@clownrat5759 But neither the teacher nor the mother helped the baby to get its head out of the water while it was struggling. Babies under 2 years drown within 3 seconds when they have both their mouth and their nose covered with water. This one had both their mouth and nose under water for 6 seconds which means the double.
Moreover, it visibly choked after the third second and instead of pushing their head outside the water the head was falling downward because the baby was not strong enough to push it out due to its very young age.
So with their mother and a teacher, as kind and qualified as they can be, who are indeed only a few inches away from the baby and watching them carefully but don't help them when they need it to be out of danger and can't help themselves, the baby is not safe at all and has infinite chances to drawn and die within seconds.
How do I know that? I'm a life guard who works at a swimming pool and I see one baby drowning every year, try to save them and see all of those doctors that come in ambulances and do their best to save the babies lives. Sometimes they survive, sometimes not. Imagine one of those babies who died was you and you would never have achieved what you achieved until now.
That's the most adorable thing i have seen on the internet 🥺❤
I love that they train them in regular clothes. Becomes a more natural instinct that way. So smart.
My parents also did this with me when I was a baby. I grew up to love the water
suprised your not terrified from breathing all the water in that your parents forced you to go under without knowing a clue what’s going on 😞
@@sophieohrshe was.. a baby. As in, literally doesn’t start forming coherent memories until the age of 5, a baby. You’re a total snowflake if you’re upset at a baby learning LIFE SAVING skills. Would you rather a dead baby than a wet one? :)
@@clownrat5759 haahah so how tf they meant to memorise and remember how to swim at this age absolutely proves my point completely pointless snowflake
Never in million years my baby going close water or swimming lessons this early😊
Why not?!
So you want your ch!ld to drown if they fall in water?.
God! Few years down the line, ur daughter is gonna speak on national television how she is blessed to have u as a mom who is both super caring and brave! M simply overwhelmed looking at this video! My girl is 6 months old and I find this video so inspiring!
Ngl this is so scary to watch but SUPER useful for parents that don't want their child to drown
Should be a mandatory course for all babies. Well done for being proactive with this ❤
No. This is just some pseudo science 70s hippie crap. There is no evidence to support this, and it’s risky for the baby, not to mention uncomfortable. Pediatricians recommend starting at toddler age at the earliest, so they can hold their head up.
I don't want my baby being dry drowned by a moron Karen. I'd rather watch my baby around bodies of water until my child is old enough to learn to swim without the risk of them ingesting water because they cannot control their breathing pattern.
Girl gonna be the best swimmer in the world😂❤😊
😍😍😍😍😊😊😊😊😊😢😢🎉🎉🎉❤❤💜💫🫁🦷🦷🦷🦷👁
This is so important to show babies how to make themselves float above the water in order to save themselves.
They can’t hold their heads up yet. It’s a waste of money and risky. There is no evidence that swim lessons for infants reduces drowning risk. It’s better to start swim lessons when they are a toddler, between 1-4.
@@Goldenretriever-k8mnah. Newborns actually have the innate reflex to try and float still built into them from being into the womb. Starting them when they are younger than 6 months is actually really good as it can contribute to develop that reflex.
@@Goldenretriever-k8m I agree with you
Oh my goodness! How gracefully swimming!!
I didn't learn how to swim until I was 19, resulted in a very large fear of being near any body of water because I knew if I fell in I wouldn't be able to get out, having programs like this accessible for young ages is an amazing thing so people don't have to grow up afraid of something so amazing.
Aria is the cutest baby ever and knowing now she can swim and save herself makes her even cuter
She is doing so well but I'm probably the only one who thinks this but every time I see a video of a baby this young swimming i get so nervous thinking they could drown
That’s the point
Well that’s what they’re avoiding, yes.
This is so important. I grew up between a huge lake and a river. The amount of people who die because they mix up bathing with swimming is troubling. I think, you should also teach your children how to behave in open waters
You are such a responsible parent.Also Aria is so so so cute
Well done!!! That onesie was so thick I probably would have struggled 😂
Now That’s a proud and beautiful baby look 😊👍🙏 well done aria 🔔📣💕🍉🍓

Thanks to trainer for being so delicate with the child ❤
I learnt to float when I was 6 in a swimming lesson after having armbands and it was just like this magical moment where I could suddenly do it. I am a man of rigid logic and I still can't explain.
If you are a family that goes to the beach a lot, or the pool. Learning how to swim is probably one of the most important things and skills to learn.
She deserves it she did so good for all her lessons she looks so cute
I did ISR
@@TRiPP_THE_SWIFTIE13 ok?

Bro once i went to a waterpark there was this cute little girl that kept diving and she made me dive in with her we did this for some time she wasnt even scare although she had floaties it was like 5 feet bigger than her i think she knew how to swim and she was like 3 telling me about her self her parents werent even near cause they trusted her .i missed her.❤

This baby can probably swim better than me😭-
This is one of the smartest things I’ve ever seen!❤
I love that the class includes her in her regular clothes. When toddlers fall in, they are often in clothes that will sop up the water and throw them off balance. Being able to right herself in a heavy PJ is one of the best skills she can have as a toddler. Great video❤.
I'm a swim teacher at my local pool and to me this is Incredible! I work with kids this age or older and have never seen such a young child doing this good
They’ve lived underwater half their lives at this point. They know what they’re doing.
True. The baby does this almost instinctively.
Congratulations to Aria 🥰😍🥺🥺🥺
How does she keep her eyes open the entire time underwater?
I think babie's eyes are lese sensitive or smth about that
@@happxness_on_pawstotally the opposite 😂 but some people simply can just have their eyes open despite chlorine etc
This baby is going to be an olympic swimmer
So cute ❤
Does her eyes no hurt from the water or does the water not go up her nose ??
exactly my point 😢
I swim with my eyes open all the time. It doesn’t really do much. Maybe a bit dry afterwards but some drops can remedy that.
Na bro with my kids imma just throw them in the pool and just let them not sink💀
That looks so cool.
I can imagine how she would swim when she is 2.
She can be a professional.
That baby about drowned do that flip I could never do that job to much anxiety so good for you guys
So cute ❤❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think this is good incase an emergency happens, she did really well
a baby shouldn’t be unsupervised near water this young regardless. or it’s bad parenting i think. when a baby is old enough to be unsupervised near water to understand how to swim without drowning them when there young then they would be taught swimming lessons when they can talk and be able to be told kick your legs turn around and understand idk lol

Its actually incredible and its so clever to go in different clothing too, what a beautiful and bright baby, floats so good, look at her go!!
As a swim teacher that does classes with children, it would be amazing, if more parents did this. We have so many kids even older than 8 that are afraid of water or putting their head even remotely near it. This would give us, the kids and the parents such a boost and would take a lot of the stress from all of us too.
Wow she really is a champion, thank you for making your girl learn a skill of survival ❤
