Hate the throwing them in like that. Try holding the baby then teach to swim

my father when I was 6 told me "learn to swim" and threw me into the deep end of the pool and walked away..

All animals are born with the instinct to swim already loaded to their hard drive, even humans. Being unable to swim is simply cowardice. People are sometimes so afraid of drowning that they panic...and drown.

no, babies know how to float from being in mother's womb, its when they get older they forget and it gets harder to teach toddlers how to swim, teach baby how to float first

Be surprised how many grown adults don't know how to swim. Very important to teach kids how to swim.

The newborn of any mammal will swim when thrown in water. Life ruins our instincts somehow.

Poor baby is spitting out swallowed water while she's laughing! Disgusting. I understand teaching children to swim, but there's gotta be a better way than just throwing them into the water. Our children had safe swim lessons at local public pool. I'd rather do that way. It's humane.

only one thing to say she did one thing perfectly right child was newborn, she was right there to immediately jump in, Drs will tell you that a child when young will take to swimming easier because of being in the womb sack full of fluids, i do believe she should have gotten in water first and then had someone hand her the child

she probably taught him how to float on his back first but if that's his first lesson I'd be mad at her

they work with the kids first. this is their test, in case they fall . kids drown in a couple of minutes. the longer they can float or get to the edge, their chances are better

How would any single one of us adults like it if someone carried u. To the edge of a20 ft cliff and out of the blue they just threw u over? Would it give u a deep fear of heights? Would u ever trust that person to protect u if u needed it?I’ll never believe that being thrown into a swimming pool could be akin to laying in amniotic fluid in the safety of the belly with life support attached to u.

This was my father's theory. We all swam as toddlers. Used to scare the hell out of hotel guests when a 4 year old ran towards the pool, climbed up on the diving board and ran off the end into the pool! That was a *long* time ago!

Just dropping a baby in the water, could cause them to have a seizure. Never do this that woman should be arrested.
