[maximobernardino]

[nallely4100]

[8azile8]

Hahaha I actually learned how to swim by watching The Little Mermaid when I was 2 :)

[myzbinky93]

[rockisbetter]

[roshnigi]

hahah She swims 100% times better than me :) so cute

[nicktesla45]

That is adorable! I did'nt know they made swimming goggles that small !!

[baldassassin1]

@nicktesla45 they're actually adult size speedo swim goggles. They fit little kidz just fine with no leaks.

[baldassassin1]

@nicktesla45 thank you for the comment

[misstjjones]

that is so cute she is adorabal

[baldassassin1]

@misstjjones alot of repetition and postitive reinforcement. I'm also a free diver, which means I spend most of my time underwater holding my breath. So she started mimicking what I do. I had her in the water as soon as she could walk. Check out her video of her diving down 8 feet to get her swim toy "Little Mermaid dives 8ft"

[baldassassin1]

@misstjjones thank you misstjjones

[misstjjones]

how do she do that



[simplyyerr]

Wow. What a great swimmer. Even I can't really swim that well.

[Cpnowys1awsome]

My Dad's friend's house's pool is as deep as one house rooftop, and a attic size pool!!! Much bigger than yours!

[alicasoulliere2010]

You should be proud! She is better than me at swimming and I am 20 lol

[melyna1999]

Vraiment c'est extra ! ^^ C'est très bien !!!! Vous avez VRAIMENT de quoi être Fier DE VOTRE FILLE ! ^^

[AvaGwenModel]

What i am about to say might sound mean, but to those who are not talking nice, it will be your child drowning while bd1's kids will never sink. Bravo on your parenting, bd1! Both of my children were out of floaties at 2 years of age. ;)

[antoniovese75]

The most impressive i've seen so far.  Absolutely amazing!!!

[HaydeeRabanes]

that was cool

[baldassassin1]

@HaydeeRabanes thank you, watch her other videos. She's an amazing swimmer

[BlackBarbieDoll3236]

[mamajewel32]

[TheAssDestroyerThun]

[goodiegurl25]

[Angtri18]

@baldassassin1 She's a good swimmer to be her

[MsMouaGirl]

she looks liek she was drowning... thank god she made it :)

[YsaM02]

how cute

[strangeme000]

aww..so cute! She's like dancing in the water!

[Daynaster16]

Um may I ask how your train your daughter? I would love to know myself^^ Thank you

[baldassassin1]

@Daynaster16 I'm a free diver so I'm always in a pool underwater holding my breath for as long as I can. As soon as my daughter could walk, I had her in the pool on the stairs to play and get acclimated to the water. I would then watch her look at me underwater. Didn't take long for her to learn to hold her breath for several seconds. After about a month playing on the stairs, she got brave and would jump in the water to me.

[baldassassin1]

@Daynaster16 continued from below... I then taught her how to kick and after a couple of months she then started swimming on her own. I trainned my second daughter in the same manner with the same success. Please keep in mind I'm not a professional and all kids are different. Also being able to swim everyday of the year is an advantage I have living in St Thomas. My method may not be suitable for you. I find kidz mimick parents so leading by example is a must. You do it, they do it

[Daynaster16]

@baldassassin1 Oh thank you ^^

[baldassassin1]

@Daynaster16 I've noticed kidz alot older than my daughter struggle to keep their heads above water and wear themselves out. Being able to be calm above and underwater is a must for all. Good luck with training. Again I'm not a professional swim instructor. I inadvertantly came up with these techniques as a result of my free diving passion and joy of being underwater for long periods of time.

[LoGiXxIFaZe]

Say selena 5 times clap hands 5 times and post on two videos

[PaooLa32]

she swims better than me

[Sodasprite6310]

So graceful.

[baldassassin1]

@Sodasprite6310 thank you

[Sodasprite6310]

@baldassassin1 I was sarcastic.

[baldassassin1]

@Sodasprite6310 now why would you be like that?

[Angtri18]

My daughter is 9 and She is Waterjumping when She is about to drown that is what She does if She is about to drown that's what she does.

[baldassassin1]

@Angtri18 my daughter is quite all right underwater. She can hold her breath between 20-30 seconds. She practices with me. I'm a free diver and can hold my breath for 3 minutes. My daughter likes to be underwater with me. Keep in mind we swim almost everyday of the year in St Thomas. Kidz her learn really fast at a very young age.

[baldassassin1]

@Angtri18 also watch my video of "mermaid in training". That is my second daughter that I've trained in the same manner I trainned my daughter in this video. When kidz learn to hold their breath and are comfortable underwater, learning to swim comes really fast to them.

[RoxiRocker2000]

Wow! She is so cute! Not a bad swimmer either! Just adorable!

[miss1990ization]

cool how long has she been swimming like that?

[baldassassin1]

@miss1990ization when this video was shot, she was 2 1/2. She had been swimming by herself just prior to her 2nd birthday. I had her in the water almost everyday with me, so she picked up swimming quite fast.

[BiancaSilvaRamos]

e foi denovo q fofa (Brazil)

[Nanib1000]

i hate tht retarded sound underwater its gets on my nerves underwater

[08skydancer]

Sure wish I was that brave around water. 

[regthrumper]

Hmmmm.....all the same I wouldn't leave her unattended in the pool, just in case....

[baldassassin1]

@regthrumper yes, rest assured, she is never out of my sight near water. Before she knew how to swim, I taught her how to hold her breath. She could hold her breath for a little over 10 seconds before she started swimming. She's 4 now and can hold her breath between 20-30 seconds. She swam with me everywhere including the open ocean where I free dive. I'm super proud of my daughter! She's a strong girl.

[TheSuperieur]

@baldassassin1 LoL I'm 14 I can old my breath 30-40 secs or something

[rayne121702]

wow she was awsome!!!

[baldassassin1]

@rayne121702 thank you

[SimbaProductionsXoXo]

Aww! Wel I was little I loved the deep end, in fact, if someone made me go in the shallow end I'd cry. :)

[totallycaitlyn]

this is amazing when i was little i was so scared to go into the deep end but she is like really brave :D

[baldassassin1]

@totallycaitlyn thank you. She is a fearless Little Mermaid



[bustedgirl57]

[mizukiyaya]

[Gipsythesweets]

That is awesome! I want to teach my son but I don't have a pool. Props!

[baldassassin1]

@Gipsythesweets thank you!

[lolsmileyface9]

[baldassassin1]

hmmmmm..wonder how anyone could dislike this??? 

[TheJoshter6]

I love deep pools. i have a 12 ft.

[tatianameyers]

Ahh take her out shes gonna diee

[baldassassin1]

@tatianameyers she is quite at home underwater, I wouldn't worry about it.

[patrique2008]

que judiação com a criança...

[baldassassin1]

@patrique2008 would like to know what that says??? None of my spanish friends know what it says??

[JhabeaFans15]

oh gosh. I get kind of scared, does she take swimming lesson?

[baldassassin1]

@JhabeaFans15 no swim lessons, she just swims with me and I'm always in the water.

[JhabeaFans15]

@baldassassin1 really? wow, she's really good :)

[baldassassin1]

@JhabeaFans15 thanks!! I'm super proud of my daughter. She loves being in the water. Check out her other videos that I've posted.

[baldassassin1]

@JhabeaFans15 No swim lessons. I'm a free diver and always in the water and bring my children with me. My kidz simply mimick me. Notice how kidz copy what parents do from mannerism to the things you say. No different when it comes to physical activities. They copied the way I breath and hold my breath before going underwater. Learning to swim came quickly after that cause they were comfortable being underwater.

[Jayy2Waveee]

YAY

[amani0699]

i got scared for her cuz i cant even do that lol good job......ill look up to her now

[baldassassin1]

@amani0699 thanks amani!!

[TexansCheer]

I love deep pools!

[havendoll]

how deep is the deepest end? because, it looked pretty deep.

[baldassassin1]

@havendoll it's 8 feet deep. Couple months from the date of this video, my daughter was diving to the bottom getting her toys. got a video of that up too.

[tutupuppy2000]

@havendoll ikr im curious

[bioodchao]

That's nice.. I have a fear for deep pools since I'm around 10. I didnt train for it and I'm 16 now, still alittle fear for deep pools

[64mung]

I think she's part fish..Lol ;)

Great video, B1! We started our kids swimming in the deep end at about the same time. It's the only way to go! My boys are now 9 & 12 years old and can say that they have been swimming practically all of their lives ;)

I would be proud of her too!

Keep up the great work with her, B1!

I think she'll look good in an Olympic swimsuit someday :)

*****

Cheers from the hills up north...

64m >:-)

[baldassassin1]

Thanks 64, I've got another lil girl that I'll be trainin soon. Once she can walk, I'll have her in the pool all the time too. They have no fear when they're young.
