20 month old baby passing her Survival Test at Nova Swim School, Fountain Valley, CA.

This disgusting lady is taking pleasure in this. I'm really sickened by her flippant attitude, laughing at that poor baby. Throwing & pushing her under water - clearly she's too terrified to protest. This should be illegal. This b**** evidently gets her jollies from manhandling little kids. SHAME ON YOU!

@Imgradingpapers...maybe the kid should drown instead. Go grade some papers you idiot.

[Imgradingpapers]

@merkatroid Your unwarranted anger is quite amusing, thanks for the laugh!

[jimijackson]

@Imgradingpapers the kids are meant to learn how to survive. if they fall in a pool alone..the water filling their lungs wont be doing so with a smile :p

[RachelandRyder]

Wow. How about a freaking life jacket & some parental supervision. I don't foresee my todder taking any solo trips to the beach or pool anytime soon, so what's the point? Wow, just wow.

[merkatroid]

@RachelandRyder. If only all the kids that have fallen into swimming pools had taken your advice. You have solved childhood drownings! You are a genius. I sense a Nobel peace prize coming your direction very soon.

my son is 20 months old- he loves the water but I never tried any of this when he was younger, because I just didn't know about it. Now I wish I had worked with him more in the water. Oh well. Maybe this summer he'll swim.

Poor baby!

she's a little pro! :)

[flashevolution]

did she seriously throw a baby into the water...

[TheGwynnSmith]

@flashevolution Yeah. It seems a bit extreme huh? But that child has been through training to teach her to float on her back. 480 on average, children and babies drown per day! If all children took these classes they would have the skill to survive the water. Everyone seems to say "people should just watch their kids!" but it only takes seconds to minutes for a child to drown, accidents happen all the time. So thank goodness for this little girl, She will NEVER drown thanks to this training!

[flashevolution]

@TheGwynnSmith i like trains :P

[TheGwynnSmith]

@flashevolution ........LOL That cracks me up! I loved it! So random! Totally caught me off guard!!!

[GinnyBrewerFerguson]

Thank you for your comment.

They eventually ALL love to float, once they see the value to it....

It's not unusual for the babies to resist it.

It's more of a discipline, than a skill. It's not difficult. All they have to do is lie down and lie still.

great job!

[yanmandotcom]

very good!! My daughter hates to float but she can do it.

[TheGwynnSmith]

@yanmandotcom Good for her! Its hard to watch sometimes and sometimes a bit uncomfortable for the child, but how much more uncomfortable is it to drown?! I applaude parents who teach their children this! Its a wonderful life skill for them to have! Good for you!!!
