It is not about having fun! The baby is crying because he does not want to swim just like you may hesitate because you know what to expect when entering a pool. Thanks to the awesome teaching she gave the baby is able to respond quickly to SURVIVE. Babies will always cry when they don't get their way even if it was something dangerous. Would you care if your baby cried when you picked it up and carried them away from a bonfire? No. Why? Because it is for the babies safety.

@mrjacobmarsh Thank you, this is the right thought, unfortunately, some people don;t see the higher good, instead, they see the momentary pleassure. Until they loose a child to drowning. I;ve been doing this for a few years now, and The result is great. REcently a one year old that took the course 2 years ago, and never swam again, I took her for 2 week refreshment, now at 3 years old, in 3 days, she had remember it all, amazingly is like ridding a bike, you never forget. felt proud!

I think its very good that the child is being taught this. If i was a parent a would do the exact same thing.. My friend lost his brother when he was just a little boy and if he had known this, he would be alive right now and i know my friend and his parents would do anything to get him back. Also, it will also make it easier for them to learn how to swim, which can be a very important tool. When I become a parent I will do this. But I have to ask, how long did it take you to teach him?

@Degrassichicka72 it only takes 6 weeks. for 10 min a day from monday to thursday!

how funny you trying to say that I should learn english.... have you see how you write??? did you ever go to school? It is embarrassing if it is your first language. you even have a spelling correction in your computer!

Maybe you should try speaking another language. For me english is my third language. try spanish and french!

@zestymom It is called survival swim..it is not necessarily supposed to be fun...as moms we try to make it fun if possible but what she is doing is giving her child a skill...drowning is not fun either :(

[totifernandez]

@zestymom I agree too, of course, parents should always watch their kids near pools, but since it happens so often that kids drown even while supervised. Even with fence around the pool there are cases where the kid has put a chair next to it and climbed over it. So I think is better to give them the tools to save themselves in case they need to. Even if it never arrives, if it did, they will know what to do.

[zestymom]

Yes I agree babies discover but parents should alwasy be watching their kids, especially when they have a pool or are near one.....
