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. She jokes about it now but it's that fast & quiet.

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

[@AJJesko]

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.

[@beeech1080]

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.

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).

All I can say is... WOW! AMAZING BABY!!!

[@mimmusup154]

I think this is really good (as long as it's in a safe environment and people who knows their things) I'm 24 and I'm still not confident with swimming

[@4Ng3l_ey3ss]

When you teach a kid something or they get used to it at such a young age- they will love it

[@elizabethdeschweinitz1551]

This is one of the smartest things I’ve ever seen!❤

[@TayaDionPodcast]

Who else is a proud Internet auntie? 😂👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️ idk what it is but babies and elderly people totally have my heart! I can’t help it

[@debleary3241]

Good job, Mama! I think all babies /toddlers should have this class🎉

[@lilaaaac]

Who else was scared for the baby’s life 😭

[@lornabonikowsky858]

Who else is wondering how the bunny fur suit isn't wet?

[@clownrat5759]

Not me because it’s in a controlled environment with a teacher and her mother.

​@@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.

She looks so much like Harry in the last photo. Such a cutie and so good at being in the water.

[@hrtb8747]

Your baby learnt to float and potentially keep its head above water. I hope you continue to actual ongoing lessons so they learn to save themselves more and have strength to get out of situations

[@thokomasango2294]

I'm 48yrs old woman inspired by this little angel to start swimming lessons as well 🏊‍♀️💞

[@vedantianvhane1971]

That's the most adorable thing i have seen on the internet 🥺❤

[@user-lp2hu7di3u]

That baby about drowned do that flip I could never do that job to much anxiety so good for you guys

[@emily.toombs]

Waterproofing your children as early as your able is so important! Kudos! Also, she’s adorable ❤

[@PattieM]

100%. Mine just turned 3 so went right into learning her sequence. I had already taught her to float. She’s now a competitive swimmer at 7

[@wolfloverrrrrrr]

[@Barktholemew]

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!!

[@Omerta-187]

We need more moms like this

[@Idk_80867]

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

[@o0blubblub0o]

That’s the point

[@clownrat5759]

Well that’s what they’re avoiding, yes.

[@rajbali7972]

Just wow. Kids are amazing.

[@user-ks1es7bn6o]

She's so cute 🥺

[@humairakanwal6966]

You are such a responsible parent.Also Aria is so so so cute

[@ps6474]

This is so important to show babies how to make themselves float above the water in order to save themselves.

[@pandapower5902]

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.

[@Tornadospeed10]

@@pandapower5902nah. 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.

[@IlanaTubiana]

​@@pandapower5902 I agree with you

[@isaura1275]

What a marvellous idea, teaching her this so young.

[@graceanaba6383]

That’s amazing!!! I am so proud of you mom for giving her such a great gift of life.

[@glitch9739]

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.

[@joannejames8743]
