@lismiroh i agree but i think since she's tiny and he was there to guide her through the water that its kind of not a HUGE problem

@luegmiah Actually, if you're in the water at 5 feet it's not considered shallow. Competitive swimmers dive in at 5 feet off the blocks to race. I always thought 5 feet was shallow but I guess it's not, if you know what you're doing.

@luegmiah Yeah but if you wanna do it competitively you need to be able to shallow dive aswell don't u I suppose, but you have a point, our coach tried to get us to dive without our arms into deep water and this girl split her head open, new found respect for paraolympians yano!
