My dad used a Canoe paddle to push me out of the boat in a 100 feet of water with no life jacket at 4 or 5 years old when i stood up in the canoe. After I was in the water he told me how to dog Paddle. Later on I did mile swims and Red Cross Lifeguard
Dads aren’t here to pander to emotions when teaching basic life skills, it’s a bar that gets mentally set for the child and it works. One dad to another, I approve 👍🏼
Exactly. Part of our job as dads is to teach our kids about fear, courage, and risk management. It's also to show them that dad isnt going to let anything bad happen to them. If he says its safe, its safe.
Exactly 💯 nicely stated and beyond accurate. That Dad didn’t have time for feelings. He was on a mission. Lucky boys had life jackets. Life jackets didn’t exist when I was a kid.
They have life vests on and the dude looks pretty capable of jumping in to help them should they need it. Perfectly fine. They’re boys and he showed them that as men they will be expected to jump in and do things they really are afraid of doing or aren’t very sure of. Builds confidence and understanding at the same time. Good job, dad.
💯 They need to be ready for a lifetime of expectations. Men do not have a choice. We are expected to handle, or at least lead the charge, all things difficult or scary, and the lack of that action will tarnish our reputation.
No what they needed is to be shown how it's done first and then taken to the shallow end to be guided through paddling and back strokes. This actually teaches them to be impulsive and dangerous and now they don't trust their own father.
That's how it's done. Just like John Wayne. They're wearing life vests for crying out loud. When my dad threw me in he had me chained to a cinderblock. He was so happy and proud when I made it back to shore that he cried the whole drive home saying "I can't believe it. How the heck did you do that?" And I'm a better man for it. Thank Dad. You're the best. 😊
@@hanskloss1331 so true, once though I wish I had a helmet on while out with my friends on my bike. Came home with a big ole knot on my head that day lol
you cannot help them conquer anything if you give them mental damage, they will no longer look to you as a protector, but as someone they resent, not always, but you dont know what kind of mind your child has until you've messed it all up and they need therapy, a good father would get in the water himself! and show them it's okay, and bring them in the water in his arm so they know , hey water is safe, i'm with my dad, i'm good, then you teach them to swim, this is lazy meat head parenting, it's disgusting. i dunno how all your apes think this is fine, this is how you break a childs mind. not grow it.
I had a fear of rollar coasters when i was younger so my dad fourced me on one and he road it with me now i love rollar coaster (it was mt everest in disney)
In the same way my father taught me!...without a life jacket, and the throw much much farther...at first I cried...after that I didn't want to get out of the water..i love it! I became almost an Olympic swimmer...Thank you Dad!❤️
As a former swim teacher who taught kids from ages 1-14, yes. We practiced jumps with the kids. You would tell the kids to put their hands together like so: 🙏 Then you would grab those hands with one hand and push them in with your other hand on their back. This was of course for the younger kids who started out sitting on the wall. You would try to get them to push off the wall of the pool with their feet while sitting as a precursor to the jump into the pool, but for those who were too young to understand or were too scared this is how we did it. We generally tried to make it a fun experience for them so that they would want to keep swimming and improving. 9/10 times a kid who was scared would love it and jump in over and over again after their first time whether they were a sitting down or standing up student. The other 1/10 get used to it after about 3 sessions usually and are fine.
We don't know if they are traumatized though. They might develop a fear of bodies of water. But let's say they don't, they will lose trust in dad. Next time they are scared to do something and dad approaches them, they will avoid dad in fear.
@@GameTime-yj6qv those kids are not traumatized. Just look at them; even thier tiny kid brains can separate humor from fear somewhat. If anything, this is something to laugh about for them, which is good.
Exactly, @JW-do9wq. Staged or not, that's the thing. Dad could have easily helped them if needed. It's not like he threw them off a pier and couldn't reach them. People today try to treat boys like girls and girls like boys. 🤦
You're right we do need both unfortunately many don't get both and it shows BUT in many cases it eventually pans out n they still have great lives and lifestyles.
The reality is that is a mother and father are not the only ones who participate in raising a child. A child should and does have many influences in a good upbringing.
Can't you people come up with something original? It's always the same old story children need "BOTH" parents. Well, obviously in a perfect world but guess what? It's not a perfect world. There's a lot of children that do just fine with one parent. Obviously, that's not ideal but it's life. Sometimes the father or mother passes away. What about those kids? Are you saying they need both parents to survive? What exactly are you trying to say to the children who have lost a parent?
Never making your kids face their fears or experiencing discomfort actually hurts them in the long run. They had life vests. It looks bad at first and you could say they will learn that they can't trust him but actually, they will learn that they can trust him.
Let’s think about this. Today’s society is plagued with anxiety, depression and personality disorders. Parents like this equip their kids with the ability to develop resiliency. We need much more of this
@darkusjenkins2021 This how I learned it. No vests. My dad is still my hero, will always be and no one comes even close. RIP. 😢 It's not what you do it's how you do it. There's a difference between discipline and abuse. Deep, calculated thought and fatherly love is the deciding factor. The key is simple. Dont do anything for your personal benefit. Always put their needs first. They need to have skills-survival or otherwise-, they need to have proper work etiquette, to be respectful, bold, quick witted and adaptable. If they aren't. This world will chew them up and spit them out without second thought or remorse.
@@XB10001 they will see it's not bad and do it themselves next time. He just sped up the process. Even birds push their young out the nest if they don't want to do it on their own.
They talked trash before and after being thrown in the water. They weren't worried about drowning as mush as they were telling dad off in the water. 😂😂😂😂 Dad did the right thing.
He definitely did not go "too far." The kids are safe and protected by the life preserves. They (the kids) were overthinking the situation and acting out of irrational fear. The dad allowed them to conquer that fear and show them that there was nothing to be afraid of; Yet further, he's there ready and able bodied to jump in and pull them out should something go south. This dad emboldened his boys to step out in strength and bolstered their confidence and courage. It's what good dads do. Well done, sir! 👏

Thats a good dad right there, reminds of me of my old man, he taught me to be strong at a young age, and after seeing this world for 42 years, Im very glad he did.
Birds push their babies out of the nest. Bears abandon their cubs at 2 y/o to fend for themselves. I think a little push into water is the least of their worries. Lol. Besides… now theyre not afraid anymore. 🤣
Exactly @smithandwestin651. It's not like he threw them off a pier and couldn't reach them. People these days try to treat boys like girls and girls like boys. There are countries over seas training their kids to fight/defend themselves at that age, and people in the US crying about this, this. 🤦
Now this is what I call on the job training lol. My pops did me the same way without a life jacket. Kids are way too soft today. Need more dads like this!
Wow you beat the odds. I know 3 people who have fear of the water from near drowning experiences. 1 of them was initiated by thier parents. Least they saved alotta cash by selecting a shitty care home for them.
@@tiarnanquinn5403 My dad jumped in the water right after he threw me in. I wasn’t going to drown. I HAD a fear of water before he threw me in. After that I LOVED water. I became a lifeguard and swim instructor. 😀
Or they'll grow an underlying psychological block where they can't do anything on their own without daddy to do it for them. Just covering all possibilities
@@cjohnson_you think somebody needs therapy just because they are acknowledging the potential opposite effect? I guess wilful ignorance is better? Bizarre.
So a dysfunctional wreck with zero risk assessment skills, increasing their impulsivity and recklessness without regard for the safety of themselves or others. Alternatively, they will grow up not trusting anything or anyone because they are in fact scared of everything. Because the human mind is a lot less simple than "if this, then that."
Or truly traumatized with PTSD from tall men, boats, water, people who don't respect boundaries, trust issues, what's IN the water, feeling like NO must not mean NO, that adults suck... etc 😢 Not saying baby them. I am saying approach it better. He was strong enough and big enough to put one in each hand and dip/dangle them each in the water.
Doing this teaches kids to avoid all instincts. All emotions including fear is valid. Being afraid to jump in is a reflection of the child trust in their own ability to cope with facing the unknown. Hes not teaching them any process to move through the feelings...just avoid your instincts don't listen to instincts jump right in....this makes for all sorts of risk taking behaviour in youth and adulthood due to a lack of working out their own steps to learning!!! Hes repeating a process he was taught from fathers who also lacked this ability. Time for change people!!
Lmaooo, all daddies did this to us in the 80's without a life vest, my daddy threw me in a random lake at a family reunion, not one person came to my aide but I learned how to swim real quick 😂
My Dad did this to me at family camp out. Out of no where. We were fishing in a row boat. Middle of lake. Things were good. THEN. I was sinking. I learned to dog paddle. The following summer my brother took swimming lessons at a school. I think my Mom had her say.
You MUST BE black too because that's what happened to me bro 😂😂😂. No vest, everybody looking and talking, I swam to the edge and realized I was alive. It was on a popping after that
I love how they are all smiling! I bet Mom is smiling behind the camera too!😊 I miss this way of being. Many people are too weak to enjoy this type of thing nowadays. God bless America.
@tclyde865 they call him bro cos he's their best mate as well as their dad. Some dad's are just dads, and some are also bros/buddy's. It's the most difficult part of being a parent which is why most just remain 'dads', because its easier. Most are scared of losing authority by being a friend also, but if your authority is real and just, and not based on your own neurosis, you'll just get even more respect from them, and they'll love you way more than just parent-child protocol, also their confidence will skyrocket. They're amazed at their dad's confidence in them, and his ability to make it OK in a fearful situation by facing the danger.
Back when I was in elementary school in the early 60's, that's the way the coach taught us to swim. Without a life vest too. You learned real quick to either sink or swim. 😄
My dad took us (my brother 9yrs old, my sister, 5yrs old, and me, 10 yrs old) to the beach. The waves were pretty calm that day. We all learned how to swim that day. No life vests.
When I was 3, my father told me to jump off the diving board into the pool and swim to the other end. I trusted him, did so and subsequently learned to swim. When I got to the shallow end, some other kid tried to shove my head below the water to drown me. He obviously failed. Praise God.
I disagree, depends on where you live, how often you get outside vs how much time you spend on social media. The MGTOW and "Red pill" garbage is all bark and no bite. Being a blatant asshole doesn't mean a guy is tough, it shows their egotistical and act hyper-aggressively like an undisciplined child. You should explore the world a bit it opens your perspective and gets rid of unhealthy ignorance. Or get into self-defense, been traing in JKD, Kick-Boxing, and some Muyi Thai since I was 13. Teaches you how to stand your ground without needing to act like a caveman and gets ride of bitter petty anger. Get out more dude, the world isn't as fucked up as you think.
Reminds me of when my dad taught me how to not need training wheels. He put me on a mountain bike on top of a large hill and pushed me down it. I learned how to ride a bike without training wheels in 0.5 seconds…. Love you dad
Did the same with my son, also got him a dog because he was terrified of them. After a short period of him being unsure of the dog, Porridge was his name, they were inseparable for over 15 years.
Man that guys a champ. My dad didn't even give me a life jacket. "Watch how the dog does it. Do what she does!" It worked, I learned to swim from my dog.
When I went to Parris Island, for Marine Corps bootcamp, we had to qualify in swimming. I NEVER learned to swim. I ascended high up a ladder and walked the plank (diving board). I FROZE! I was holding up the whole platoon and a Navy man came right up behind me and pushed me in! I almost drowned....my DI's failed me. They gave me lessons and I successfully graduated. Honorable Discharge as Sergeant, Jet Engine Mechanic. This was the best way possible and not cruel.
True story....Me and my sister learned to swim at a very young age by this exact method. It was the early 1970's and we were on vacation in the Florida keys. There happened to be a bunch of Navy guys at the hotel we were at hanging by the pool. They saw me and my sister afraid to go in the pool and told my drunk father (they were intoxicated as well) "just throw em' in....if they drown..we can probably bring em' back" ....we learned to swim that day....no life jackets either !
Lol..my parents had a vacation home in the lower Keys and that's where I learned how to swim at 5..lol I got sick of the water wings Because they hurt your arms so I just basically taught myself..lol the GenX way😂😂😂

The shock of cold water will do that
They became men lol
😂😂😂
Idk the language but it sounds like one of said "you're the real" in good English 🤣 #seebeyond870
@@SeeBeyond_870 "you're the real" and "dad" were there first English words again, I ment everythin between hitting the water and that moment 😉😃
The dad jumping in, canon ball.
Would’ve been the icing on the cake.
😂
The little one is really happy, big bro was holding him back :-D
“Oh! Wait! That was fun!” Now dad is gonna be tossing them in the water repeatedly 🤣
Yeah. He just made more work for himself. But it’s rewarding work. 😂
I loved that as a kid
Thats a good dad right there, reminds of me of my old man, he taught me to be strong at a young age, and after seeing this world for 42 years, Im very glad he did.
Big bro was ready to flee. Dad was like: nope
This is how John Wayne used to teach kids how to swim lol
Birds push their babies out of the nest. Bears abandon their cubs at 2 y/o to fend for themselves. I think a little push into water is the least of their worries. Lol. Besides… now theyre not afraid anymore. 🤣
How many of those birds and bears die? Humans are lucky to have the mental capacity to come up with different solutions to problems.
Birds are can fly they are made to fly humans arent fishwr are made for walking on land not the same
Exactly @smithandwestin651. It's not like he threw them off a pier and couldn't reach them. People these days try to treat boys like girls and girls like boys. There are countries over seas training their kids to fight/defend themselves at that age, and people in the US crying about this, this. 🤦
Now this is what I call on the job training lol. My pops did me the same way without a life jacket. Kids are way too soft today. Need more dads like this!
The little guy was calling his dad bro. 😂
Sometimes you just need to pull the bandaid off. 🤣😂
The older son almost cussed his paps. 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣👍🏿👍🏿
And MY ! EARS! HEARD!!!😳
...Bro Your So...
FUCKED UP!!! FOR THAT...!.🤣
AND YOUR! THE....WORST!🤣
Heard that coming too😂😂😂
But he knew better!
"Bro, you are so..."😂
He picked them up like luggage lol
My dad threw me in the deep end of a pool. No life vest. Years later I became a lifeguard and swim teacher 😊
Damn. You didn't drown?
@@fierdrages6523I know right 😊
Wow you beat the odds. I know 3 people who have fear of the water from near drowning experiences. 1 of them was initiated by thier parents. Least they saved alotta cash by selecting a shitty care home for them.
Exactly
@@tiarnanquinn5403
My dad jumped in the water right after he threw me in. I wasn’t going to drown. I HAD a fear of water before he threw me in. After that I LOVED water. I became a lifeguard and swim instructor. 😀
My dad didn't even give me a life jacket when he tried that when I was their age 😂❤
That’s how dad’s get down. Real world application.
No, this is awesome. We need more fathers like this. This was perfect , won't be scared anymore. Stop asking stupid questions.
They were wearing life jackets and they seem to trust their dad despite knowing that he's the real
Or they'll grow an underlying psychological block where they can't do anything on their own without daddy to do it for them.
Just covering all possibilities
@@JohnnyAllan-vj7sj The comment section isn't therapy ..go find a couch 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Until they jump in without a vest 🏊♂️
@@cjohnson_you think somebody needs therapy just because they are acknowledging the potential opposite effect? I guess wilful ignorance is better? Bizarre.
Lot more men would be successful if they had dads like this
Using brute force with a smile ????
@@yasminagroenstein5564 It's the only way with boys.
@@yasminagroenstein5564yup. Spoiled brat adults usually never got beat enough as a kid
@@yasminagroenstein5564you wouldn't understand, you're not male.
Yep instead of them being simps
"Jump in."
"No! No!"
"That wasn't a request".
My mom did this. She screamed, " Now swim or sink" 😅
I did the same thing but jumped in with him to show from example.
"Real men teach by example," my father said.
That would have been better. You are right.
Sounds like a communist ok good point, there are multiple ways that a MAN raises a young MAN.
@@tomare6479 you sound like your bottom is hurt.
You will understand after you get past 12 and start becoming a man.
That’s how my cousins taught us how to swim, no water vest, just pushed into the deep end of the pool & told to swim or drown…
Yes. If he had gone in too, he would have right next to them.
That’s a good dad. Those kids will grow up with no fear of anything.
😂😂😂
So a dysfunctional wreck with zero risk assessment skills, increasing their impulsivity and recklessness without regard for the safety of themselves or others.
Alternatively, they will grow up not trusting anything or anyone because they are in fact scared of everything. Because the human mind is a lot less simple than "if this, then that."
Or truly traumatized with PTSD from tall men, boats, water, people who don't respect boundaries, trust issues, what's IN the water, feeling like NO must not mean NO, that adults suck... etc 😢
Not saying baby them. I am saying approach it better. He was strong enough and big enough to put one in each hand and dip/dangle them each in the water.
Umm fear keeps them alive lol
@@rootstriker1618 nah, you sound gay
“ your the real DAD” that was cute to hear.
Fathers are awesome!!! We need MEN like this! ❤
Tell that to the courts.
He is an awesome dad. Don't allow them to develop that spirit of fear
@@ML-ks2ljsounds like a grape problem not a swimming problem
@@ML-ks2lj
What a wuss
@ML-ks2lj dad didn't sneak up, just pushed them past the hardest part. These boys are gonna grow up to be men and not confused.
Doing this teaches kids to avoid all instincts. All emotions including fear is valid. Being afraid to jump in is a reflection of the child trust in their own ability to cope with facing the unknown. Hes not teaching them any process to move through the feelings...just avoid your instincts don't listen to instincts jump right in....this makes for all sorts of risk taking behaviour in youth and adulthood due to a lack of working out their own steps to learning!!! Hes repeating a process he was taught from fathers who also lacked this ability. Time for change people!!
Someone's woke....
The kid even said, "you're the real". Sounds like a win for FATHER'S ❤
😆 right?! I heard that as a compliment 😅
He did say that 🤔 dad you’re the real.
He called him a weirdo, not real...sounds like he wanted to call him something else 🤣😂
@@dasmilingoddessni tf he didn't call him a weirdo. You should go wrk for CNN wit dat spin.
@@g-mode5047 pipe down your parents hated you so here you are
That’s a giga-chad-dad being a good, fun dad playfully helping his boys/future men to quickly overcome fear.
Once they were in the water they liked it! You can tell by the smiles on their face.
Their reaction lets you know he didn’t go to far!! “ you’re the REAL!!” 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Lol… the “bastard” part was silent. bRo
No, they were abt to cuss because they were in shock
They wanted to say something 😂
I’m sure they were in shock but I don’t think they were super mad just more so surprised which I can totally get
Back in the day, we didn't have a life vest. Good job Dad.
Yea we did your dad just didn’t do it in the middle of the ocean 😂
Back in my day, we didn’t have a boat
In this day kids don’t have dads.
@@leveragebeverage2705😅😅
@@leveragebeverage2705 The kids dad was literally the main character of the video...
That's how my husband taught my children to swim...just without the vests‼️😅
Lmaooo, all daddies did this to us in the 80's without a life vest, my daddy threw me in a random lake at a family reunion, not one person came to my aide but I learned how to swim real quick 😂
My Dad did this to me at family camp out. Out of no where. We were fishing in a row boat. Middle of lake. Things were good. THEN. I was sinking. I learned to dog paddle. The following summer my brother took swimming lessons at a school. I think my Mom had her say.
Hush😂😂
You MUST BE black too because that's what happened to me bro 😂😂😂. No vest, everybody looking and talking, I swam to the edge and realized I was alive. It was on a popping after that
He knew exactly what his sons needed! They said the daddy was the real! 😂And they’re smiling and happy! ❤️❤️
I love how they are all smiling! I bet Mom is smiling behind the camera too!😊 I miss this way of being. Many people are too weak to enjoy this type of thing nowadays. God bless America.
@@tclyde865absolutely not. My dad would've said "who's bro? Me?"
@tclyde865 they call him bro cos he's their best mate as well as their dad. Some dad's are just dads, and some are also bros/buddy's. It's the most difficult part of being a parent which is why most just remain 'dads', because its easier.
Most are scared of losing authority by being a friend also, but if your authority is real and just, and not based on your own neurosis, you'll just get even more respect from them, and they'll love you way more than just parent-child protocol, also their confidence will skyrocket. They're amazed at their dad's confidence in them, and his ability to make it OK in a fearful situation by facing the danger.
That makes it look staged tbh
No they needed someone to show them how to paddle and do back strokes then guide them in the shallow end. This just builds distrust and fear.
Grandpa threw us in the lake without life vests. So this is perfect! Kudos to Dad!
Back when I was in elementary school in the early 60's, that's the way the coach taught us to swim. Without a life vest too. You learned real quick to either sink or swim. 😄
That's how I learned, my Dad did the same thing. Needless to say, I spent the rest of the day swimming. Thanks Dad!
He knows they’re safe, that’s why did it! Good dad.
Thank God my dad did that with me at 3yrs with my moms blessing. I was always thereafter safe in the water and loved it so much. Love you Dad and Mom
"Bro you're..."
*processing*
"Bro you're the REAL"
That’s what all young men need nowadays those boys won’t be afraid anymore .
My dad threw me twice as far without a vest. My safety protocol was to 🏊♂️ 😅
My dad took us (my brother 9yrs old, my sister, 5yrs old, and me, 10 yrs old) to the beach. The waves were pretty calm that day. We all learned how to swim that day. No life vests.
Exactly how I learned how to swim when I was little. "Either get in or we throwing you in!" I got in. 😊
I was taught the same way but without a life vest, ain’t nothing wrong with that as a father!!!!!💪🏾
While camping. WITHOUT a vest. In the middle of a lake while fishing. I learned to dog paddle.
I was sinking fast. I miss my Dad so much.
That’s the real! ❤ that’s what we been missing from this world. No different than a bird teaching the baby birds how to fly.
FATHERS are desperately needed for young men today . .
Boy had bass in this voice and dad skipping leg day. It’s what they needed
That’s why children need fathers in their life, to push them in when they are scared!
And then realize oh, that thing i was bent outta shape about wasnt actually a big deal at all.
Yep. You can either jump in on your own or the world will throw you in. Either way we're getting wet.
There is hope for future generations if kids are treated like this.
Loll agreed!
That’s how I was taught to swim, minus the life jacket.
When I was 3, my father told me to jump off the diving board into the pool and swim to the other end. I trusted him, did so and subsequently learned to swim. When I got to the shallow end, some other kid tried to shove my head below the water to drown me. He obviously failed. Praise God.
That’s right! No harm was done to these kids. Too many SOFT so called men in this world, let’s give them a chance to change that.
Excatly..its a shame the way alot of men have become..
No means yes, boys;-)
@@runarvollan"There are no successful societies ran by women boys. Why would you take advice from one?"
Thats y there tooo many gays when men are too SOFT
I disagree, depends on where you live, how often you get outside vs how much time you spend on social media.
The MGTOW and "Red pill" garbage is all bark and no bite. Being a blatant asshole doesn't mean a guy is tough, it shows their egotistical and act hyper-aggressively like an undisciplined child.
You should explore the world a bit it opens your perspective and gets rid of unhealthy ignorance. Or get into self-defense, been traing in JKD, Kick-Boxing, and some Muyi Thai since I was 13. Teaches you how to stand your ground without needing to act like a caveman and gets ride of bitter petty anger.
Get out more dude, the world isn't as fucked up as you think.
Reminds me of when my dad taught me how to not need training wheels. He put me on a mountain bike on top of a large hill and pushed me down it.
I learned how to ride a bike without training wheels in 0.5 seconds….
Love you dad
Did the same with my son, also got him a dog because he was terrified of them. After a short period of him being unsure of the dog, Porridge was his name, they were inseparable for over 15 years.
He's been waiting too long to do this 😂! He knew they were ready and would be just fine.
He was there to help if necessary. Some tough love but nothing out of line
Mothers are for bringing kids up. Dad's are for dragging there kids up. 🤟
🤣🤣
Look at the smiles on their faces.
That should say it all.
Well done dad.
❤️🙏❤️🇦🇺❤️
Man that guys a champ. My dad didn't even give me a life jacket.
"Watch how the dog does it. Do what she does!"
It worked, I learned to swim from my dog.
When I went to Parris Island, for Marine Corps bootcamp, we had to qualify in swimming. I NEVER learned to swim. I ascended high up a ladder and walked the plank (diving board). I FROZE! I was holding up the whole platoon and a Navy man came right up behind me and pushed me in! I almost drowned....my DI's failed me. They gave me lessons and I successfully graduated. Honorable Discharge as Sergeant, Jet Engine Mechanic. This was the best way possible and not cruel.
True story....Me and my sister learned to swim at a very young age by this exact method. It was the early 1970's and we were on vacation in the Florida keys. There happened to be a bunch of Navy guys at the hotel we were at hanging by the pool. They saw me and my sister afraid to go in the pool and told my drunk father (they were intoxicated as well) "just throw em' in....if they drown..we can probably bring em' back" ....we learned to swim that day....no life jackets either !
Lol..my parents had a vacation home in the lower Keys and that's where I learned how to swim at 5..lol I got sick of the water wings Because they hurt your arms so I just basically taught myself..lol the GenX way😂😂😂
I like the intoxicated part
.
Hehe
And still excellent advice was given out
That’s terrifying, I’m glad you survived. Similar maybe far from exact.
Me too 🙋 Thrown in while fishing in the middle of a lake. Six years old. I CAN swim. Thanks Dad. I miss you.
