That was equal parts incredible and horrifying to watch
No joke, I was so uncomfortable watching this but it’s crazy how much babies can learn
She had her whole head under water this isn’t right
Not for me I learned about this years ago, still surprised tho
At least we know she's safe if she ever falls in... a year and 4 months sheeeesh... I didn't learn to swim till I was like 10
My father instincts are screaming
Probably one of the most valuable and important skills a child can be taught. Especially in an area where so many families have their own pools.
hi
@@scalping_stocks hi
Right
I taught my son to swim early. I just always had floaties or life vest on him until he got bigger especially if I wasn't in the pool. He was swimming before he was out of diapers. He was in underwear by age 1. That little girl is scaring me because she took in 💦 and I don't like the breathing.It sounds too labored.
I agree I was born in the water and I knew how to swim before I knew how to walk
“Go! “Go!” “Go!” “Go!” “You can do it!” Lower voice: “I can’t believe she made it across the pool.”
Just like a parent, 🤣
Love how SMART she is rolling over on her back getting air and continues. AMAZING...
This scared me more than anything lol
Why she is not like 90 percent of American who can't swim. She did a great job. Countless of kids drown through out the year. Get over your fear.
SAME lol 😂
@@traceywashington2818 yeah m8, she just wanted her daughter to be a part of that statistic.
I dare her to do it at a public pool, and watch the lifeguard run off so fast.
@@traceywashington2818 im from america and can swim....
The techniques she used are taught to babies as young as 6 months old. It’s to teach them what to do if in the water and how to get out. As terrible as it looks, it could save your child’s life one day

Exactly Kailey, my thoughts exactly...this is such a powerful lesson in healthy parenting. I'm freaking 38 and still don't know how to swim, all my "parents" have ever done is tear me down...I'm just now finally starting to see the possibility of rebuilding myself.
@@XThirdEyeX I’m sorry to hear that, I’m glad you’re starting to take time for yourself, every little moment is precious and self care is very important:) enjoying the little things and trying to stay positive really does help and makes the little milestones feel even better:) also manifesting good things brings good energy back to you💜

Wow she is determined to do it

What touches my heart as a momma... Is the fact that this little girl believed in herself because of the encouragement she received.
U KNOW WHAT YOURE RIGHT! GOOD POINT
I love that she is being proactive with her baby .... giving her that fighting chance. She gets an A+ from me too.
Nope...she is surviving.
@@clodiamandes7153 because of the momma
Still stressed me the fuck out..
“Can’t believe she made it across the pool”
Not really reassuring words to hear while watching this 😭😰
She looked kinda scared and worried before she even started swimming . But - the sooner a child can learn to swim ( or at least float on their back ) the better ... At least they didn't throw her in and brail at her to "SINK OR SWIM !!". ( did they ? )
Thays not what the mom meant. Lol.
She wasn't gonna let her "not make it". Pfft.
"going to have to think of another plan" 😂
i dont think he meant she couldn’t i think he was just surprised to see how much she’s learned
I thought the same ! Lol
Fantastic job teaching her swimming, as we all know this is a life saving skill. Kudos for your strength to show just what this child could learn. Hopefully other parents will figure out this was fantastic and teach early on.
Yea exactly
I started when I was 2! It's never too soon to learn to swim! Awesome!
As someone who lives in Arizona and hears about countless children drowning every summer, this is awesome to see. Teach your young kids how to swim. You'll be glad you did. 👍🏻
Aye, I have a little neice in AZ who hasn't learned how to swim yet but my brother has a pool. Hopefully he'll teach her how to swim.
Yeah while living in AZ, summers were always the hardest. All I heard on the news were the deaths of children who fell into pools or died in cars. It’s was traumatizing
Mainly because their dumb parents don't put life vests on them when near a body of water.
There was one here in Az that was so devastating. The parents were at a funeral and came home to police & an ambulance. Their own child had drowned! I can't imagine the heartbreak! Most of these drownings are children that get out of the house and no one realizes it in time!
@@pamelajohnson7813 If a toddler manages to escape the house and make it to the pool, simeone wasn't keeping a good eye on them.
It helps to have at least a 4 foot fence around a pool if children are arouns.
Honestly, teaching children to swim at young ages saves lives. Especially if you have a pool.
True
totally, if this baby ever wandered into the pool without a parent around, odds are she’d be fine.
Thank you
This is how I learned how to swim at her age 16 months old
Yeah it definitely beats the tub
That was soooo me as a baby. She's gonna love water all her life.💯🥰😁👏
I can hardly believe my eyes,seeing a baby swim and still holding her toy too. That is utterly fantastic!
I admire the parents who start their children at an early age...overcoming fear, and avoiding drowning accidents with infants! KUDOS to you! 🌹
Yes but no. Her choice was to drown. To me that's too much pushing at too young.
@@elsablue3646 Remember, swimming is a natural response, beginning in the amniotic sac! Woman who give birth in "tank method", push their infant out, and the
infant's reflex is to naturally swim! 🌹
@@Rosaron7 Remember, that what you are using for an example is at birth before the umbilical cord is cut. Which is in fact the actual source of oxygen the newborn is getting. As it is still attached to both the newborn, and the mother. It's also before the child breathes his/her first breath of life through his/her lungs, and before the lungs, and nasal passages have been cleared out which protects the lungs, and bronchial tubes from taking in water. So this is a poor comparison to a breathing child such as this 16 month old toddler whose body totally depends on oxygen from the air. Unbeknownst to uneducated extremists who are over zealous about a babies ability to live inside their mother's water sack, and can also be born under water is that it stops right there! As newborn human babies/toddlers, and small children are by no means as fish that have a natural built in mechanism to breathe oxygen as it dispels the water out of its gills, and other parts of it's body. After the child begins to have to depend upon his/her own lungs to breathe, they can, and do choke on small bits of water while swimming. As we all do from time to time by accidental inhalation of it. For an adult or adolescent who are strong experienced swimmers it usually isn't an issue. Since although when they are in deep water way over their head and choking badly enough so they are unable to swim to the edge of the pool or to a possible shallow end to stand in order to cough up the bit of water, still they are able to do a couple of things to save themselves that an infant/toddler, and most small children cannot do. 1. They can tread water, and usually cough the water up on their own. 2. In cases where they are not choking badly but either don't have enough time to or physically unable to swim to safety, they can quickly go down into the water until they reach the bottom with their feet, and push hard enough so that it bobs them momentarily far enough above the water to cough it up so they are not risking the inhalation of more water. This is why it's crucial for a parent to be in the water within close reach of their small child or toddler such as this one. Since although, teaching them to roll onto their back when they get out of breath is good as this 16 month old baby is doing, when choking on water it only serves to make it worse as it's much harder to cough it up while in this position, and can, and does lead to becoming strangled. And I do not intend to insult you but please don't ignorantly tell me as several uneducated people have that this is the correct position to put a drowning victim in, as by then the person is unconscious, and has to be put in this position in order for CPR to be administered but it is never the position a conscious choking person who is still able to somewhat breathe should ever be in because it will cause strangulation of the lungs where it puts the lungs in more distress so it's much more difficult to cough up the water on your own. That's why a parent should always be right there to quickly lift their small child/toddler safely out of the water until the coughing has subsided, and they are breathing freely, and able to proceed with their swimming. Otherwise, small children, and toddlers in many cases have inhaled a lot more water while choking on just a tiny bit of water. This is because the lungs has a natural, and involuntary spasmodic distress mechanism mode that it automatically, and uncontrollably goes into to rid itself of inhaled liquids. Which in turn cause uncontrollable gasping for air, and the strong likelihood of inhaling a lot of water into the lungs. And while this is a very good quality bodies have outside of water in the open air, it can quickly become a small childs worst enemy when in a pool of water. And while many parents expect to first hear a lot of loud choking, and thrashing around in the water to warn them to respond, this is rarely the case, which is why drowning is called the silent killer. Whether pool side parents thought they were watching their child closely enough is not the issue. It's all about constant clear close up visual of your little one's face, and staying very close to also hear their breathing while they swim. Regardless of how attentive a parent is about watching their little one from a pool side, precious time is wasted in getting to them regardless of how quickly the parent responds, and this has many times led to drowning incidents. By the time a parent realizes that their little one is actually in distress choking on water, and not just coughing but in need of assistance: Firstly, the response time varies because of several factors that it takes for them to process this, get up, jump into the pool which has proven to push large amounts of water into the child's face before pulling them out of the water. Regardless of how well a child can swim, parents of little ones should always be in the water with them at all times, and close enough to reach them very quickly in the all too common event they begin to choke when every second counts, and means the difference between life, and death. As there has been many circumstances where children have accidentally inhaled water. When they do it's crucial to constantly be there already beside them to instantly pull them out above the water so that they will not inhale more of it as they gasp for air.
@@elsablue3646 you are correct, and please read my response to Rose Marie who tried to correct you by using babies that are born in water as an example. She sounds very kind like she only meant to bring you peace of mind but that's the least important thing when it comes to a child's safety.
@@valeriepittman5066 I'm talking about natural instincts! Fear is taught! When parents educate their children, at an early stage, in an emergency, their innate instinct, will "kick in"! Try to imagine a child either falling into a pool, or being purposely pushed, overcomed by fear and ignorance! 🌹
Honestly. With so many deaths that occur in pools, this can be life saving.
I believe totally because people are taught fear but also she will learn to have respect for the water
thank you. So true.
It saved my life knowing how to swim so young.
Might be a good idea to be in the pool with her.
@@macman975 totally agree.
I love it!! She’s so smart and tough!! Such a big girl!! ❤️❤️
The Baby is fucking drowning, fighting to stay Alive.
The Parents: Lets Go
Lol! At least they taught her to swim before throwing her into the water. You would be surprised how many people learn how to swim because their parents threw them in the deep end.
Yep, that's what I'm thinking. She slows down in the middle of the pool and start breathing heavily. They parents should be in jail.
Bro no she's not that's how babys swim they float on there back when they need air cuz they can't keep their head up without floating on their back because of their weight
As someone who's taught kids for years, this is freaking impressive. Teach them how to swim when they're young!!!
Not that young, that looks painful! Stop it
As a former swimming instructor this is horrible! That baby should not be alone in the water. What parent films a 16 month old from outside of the pool? Poor girl had to survival float to catch her breath. This takes “Sink or Swim” to another level. FFS
@@fattychaser3406 ok dud, it's not like she's recording from the second floor window as her daughter swims by herself, the parent is like 4 feet away and actively watching, the little girl knew to turn and take a breath, idk what you talking about dud, its a basic skill .... ok dud?
@@LaPulgaM I don’t know what you’re talking about “Dud” you sound quite silly mentioning how far she is not away(second story window)That baby was in distress during that survival float trying to breathe and could have easily inhaled water. But because swimming is a vital skill it’s ok to increase the risk of drowning for likes on TH-cam. You sound insane and butt hurt that I think it’s irresponsible. The correct thing would have been for the parent to sit on the steps filming the child swimming toward them. Positive reinforcement by being at the goal to receive the baby and to help if something unforeseen happens. But you wouldn’t know anything about that.
@@fattychaser3406 you act like the parent recording isn't there, I mentioned the second story window cause the parent is ACTUALLY RIGHT THERE ON THE EDGE OF THE POOL RECORDING..... if you don't believe she turned to take a breath because she definitely knows to do that when you're running out of breath is beyond me. Also, you can clearly tell the baby understood the parent telling her to swim across to the stairs.... ok dud 👍
That is me. I'm now 11 years old and still swimming.

Pls pin this comment
I’m 40 and still can’t swim. Amazing
So this video was 10 years ago , i didn't even realize.
If you are calm as a parent and supportive, encouraging towards your kids then they will definitely feel more confident at the task at hand. I loved how the mother sounded strong and is speaking words of encouragement all through the way and she also praised her child when she made it across the pool!
YOU TRYING TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK WOMAN--- -
little angel gasping for air
That turnaround midway breath was Olympic worthy!
P.S @ the end she rose like a Terminator machine 👌
And right before take off, it was reminiscent of the positioning pose of the backstroke.
She did, that was cute the way she came out. 😂
And that midway turnaround to take a breath was totally awesome.😎
Survival instinct.
It was that or death.
This mother is creepy.
This how babies and young children are taught to swim. Doggie paddle then flip on your back for a breath, then more doggie paddle.
Yes sir
WATCHING THIS GAVE ME ANXIETY AND JOY ALL AT THE SAME TIME. LISTENING TO HER TAKE A BREATH AND FINISHED LIKE A PRO. GOOD JOB BABYGIRL!!!
It definitely gave me anxiety.
It’s even more crazy they make swimming programs for babies that are even younger to like survive in water
What???????.
@@colleencosta5391 it’s cool and Weird
I actually support this. Im 31 & don’t know how to swim because my mom was afraid of water. If I’m ever stranded on water, I’ll die.
This is so sweet. I'm pregnant and was telling the father of my child that I want him to learn swimming very very early. Even earlier and than 16 months x
They start them practically from birth. Start checking into it now. 😊
My Anxiety level is on 1000 watching this, very relieved that shes okay. What a beautiful little trooper🥰
Imagine what it would of done to us if that bitch was to end this video without a happy ending.
The breathing, though...

@@seenpean1917 what is wrong with you
@@seenpean1917 gross!
Fun fact: the easiest time to teach your child to swim is within the first year as they have been in water for quite some time and they have natural instinct to survive. As you can see the baby flipped over for air as soon as she felt she couldn’t breathe (instinct).
Exactly 👏😘
I wish my parents bothered to teach me how to swim lol I’ve almost drown several times and have a fear of drowning now
Bullshit. There's no instinct when you don't understand or know what's going on..were not fish, we dont belong in water, babies just breath water in, until they learn otherwise.....my dad tried to do this with me and I nearly drowned. She's been taught how to swim and breath properly...I do believe that it's easiest in the first year however, there's no instinct about it. It's the fact that there's not as much fear involved, and obviously we learn better as infants for the most part anyway. Especially motor skills, and physical activities such as swimming, biking, running etc.
As a lifeguard, I’ll be using this trick more often. Tossing babies into the water: now with less opposition!
@@e-man7143 maybe it doesnt work for you, but it works for me when i used to be one
Instinct is amazing. I’ve seen babies younger thrown into a pool and those babies flap arms, kick & breathe on their own. Amazing
Awesome!! Across the entire pool !! 👏🏻👏🏻 now that is some excellent parenting. It’s something I have never regretted teaching my boys while they were babies. As soon as their umbilical cords came off, they were in a pool and we are blessed to live by the beaches. My middle son saved 3 kids (separate events) before he was 14. One time, a mom was carrying a baby in a car seat; had her other arm full of stuff and her toddler holding her “free” hand. The toddler decided at that moment for whatever reason to just run from her and jump straight into the deep end of the pool. My son saw this happen from the opposite end -suddenly, he dropped everything, ran & dove in -rescued her in seconds flat and he was only 8. Another time we were at a hotel there were lots of people( I think it was Memorial Day weekend or the 4th ) this kid was not being watched as good as he should’ve been near water. He was on the stairs leading into the pool & apparently decided he didn’t want his floaties on, tosses them , jumps in the pool and begins to drown. No one saw him- he was bobbing in & out of the water gasping for air. My son yells out “Mom, OMG that boy is drowning”, tosses everything in his hands and jumps in:- shirt/ shoes on; not only gets the boy out of the pool but begins CPR all before anyone in his family realizes what’s going on or that it was their baby. The kid spits up all kinds of water, crying & starts hugging my son. It all happened so fast. I attribute his quick thinking to learning to swim at a very early age, being exposed to all kinds of water & the time it takes to develop into a strong, fearless swimmer. There is another story but I’ve already written a book lol. It’s so awesome that you have taught your baby to swim. I wholeheartedly wish that all parents would start them out early as I believe it makes a huge difference in water safety. Super great video.
I like the absolute determination of her little breaths when she comes up for air. 💪
More like she was gasping for air and about to panic
@@MC-of7ow she wasn't panicking at all, she did a great job, and her mom is right there. The mom knows her daughter better than anyone else. If the kid was struggling, the mom would know and would obviously get her out of the water. Its people like you who will raise your kids in a bubble and make them afraid of everything
The child's safety has to come first over and above the mom's ego. The child was indeed struggling to get air. The mother made no attempts to rescue her toddler. This is abusive--Failure to protect the child all for the mom's ego. Right is still right and wrong is always wrong. The mom needs to review this footage of the video and review a course in pool safety for toddlers and children. My goodness indeed!
I might add that Failure-to-Protect a child is a criminal charge under DCF and under the law.
@@cayliebates829 🥴and another one that is clueless. Not only struggling to turn for survival float to get enough air but the person(unfit to be called mom) even said “I’m surprised she made it across” please explain that one sentence....🤔🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫

She did this while holding a toy like it's just another day playing in the pool. LEGEND
Lmao a baby will hold on to a toy for dear life 😂😂
Lol she got out the pool like it was nothing😂

The confidence that kiddo has is awesome.
45 years ago when my son was 16 months old I found him Drowning in a pool. I got just in time before he was floating to the bottom he survived it and he’s a healthy man I wish that I had means to find swimming lessons for my child. I’m so happy to see this baby swim across the pool.
THOSE BABY SWIMMING CLASSES ARE AMAZING. It’s like she was swimming in the womb
She was. Babies supposedly know how to swim naturally. Because of the amniotic fluid they are in when they are in the womb.
Why would a baby need to know how to swim?

The rolling on their back to breathe thing is the first thing they teach. It literally saves kids lives.
No, that is actually human instinct. Look it up, it’s a very interesting part of humans to learn about. Quite a few documentaries on it! Not being able to swim is taught to humans. By the lack of putting them in water after they’re born.
@@J2TMFA ...yes, truth.

Her lungs are probably pretty small haha.
Yessss melted my heart !!
Teaching your kids to swimm as soon as possible is so important, especially if you have a pool in your backyard
I see public trash cans and 3feet signs that you see in public pools.
Or live by a lake. I know a lot of people are probably horrified by this but I have a picture of me as a 2yr old my parents took from their first house where I'm at the end of the dock 100yrds away cause I could swim and it wasn't something they had to worry about.
@@comradeconrad3636 they meant in general...not in the vid

One of the smartest things you can ever teach a young child!!! Hat’s off to the parents!!! 👏🏻
Yep, it may save hers or somebody else life in the future.
Interesting to read different opinions about this. Not sure what I think but as an Australian we are taught that it's better to be confident around water. I don't think this is abuse, however the parents in the pool with their kid may be a better option.
Omg. Listen to her struggle and not quit .
Even tho it gave me anxiety her gasping for air was the most adorable sound I’ve ever heard. Mom should have been in the pool wit her just incase. Good job baby. Bad job mom.
That quick backstroke to rest was everything.
She wasn't resting she was getting air that's the first thing they teach my kids took this class as babies.
@@ThouArtOfWar0724 yeah, also a rest.
Yyeessss
Rescue breaths! When they teach babies to swim the ultimate goal is just to get them to float, breathe, and eventually make it to safety. Usually they will also practice with clothes as most drowning deaths occur outside of supervised/planned swim time. It’s amazing!
First thing I was taught, roll over when your tired and need a break! I was one of these babies and honestly loved it, also my own son was a Water baby. Great skill to have. I have on an Island so lots of swimming in our summers
As a swim instructor, this makes my heart very happy. Good job parents 👏 👍 🙌 👌
These childrens awareness is rising freakishly faster than I thought
Omg her little breaths for air.....too freakn cute!!!!!!
Lol and I still can't even swim. F my life 😂
Hmm verified
Cancer helps you float!
Bing bong 😂😂😂
You can still learn. It’s good to know how, just in case. 😉
You could when you were a baby.
Thats absolutely amazing...but as a mom I'm sitting here screaming Pick Her Up!! This is absolutely amazing parenting & taught her something that may one day save her life.
geez we have swimming lessons in 2nd grade, chill with mothercomplex
She's now 8 years and has a big following on TH-cam
Kudos to the parents! This is absolutely adorable! As many have said I’m sure, babies actually know how to swim(pretty much) up until about 6 months. So, contrary to what we are taught, it’s very good to teach them early on(obviously with the proper teacher). She is precious! The backstroke is just too adorable! Great job baby girl!
When she took a breath in water. My breath was also going up and down 😅. Very hard worker.
That turn over for air and back to swimming was amazing
It’s great to teach infants to swim but I personally think you should always be in arms reach at all times
Exact !
The problem is you won’t always be within arms length, so she needs to feel secure on her own with no one near her. Very helpful in emergency situations, like falling in on accident.
@@ogbobbyjohnson7776 I disagree. An infant should always have a competent adult within arms reach. If you study the fact that when people drown most can not be resuscitated. No need to add to that risk when it’s preventable. Also your child should never accidentally fall in any water if properly supervised. However accidents do happen and I agree it is good to train an infant to swim and you don’t have to put the infant at risk to simulate what to do in a real emergency. The infant will remember how to swim in emergency just like riding a bike you don’t forget once you learn it.
@@sons_of_god1306 you must take into account that an accident fall into water can trigger flight or fight response in which case adrenaline will shoot up and can fog even the most trained person if not properly train to remain calm controll breathing and think logically any ways you do some merit to your point but I think it's fair to say that 9 times out of 10, this mom has been training Elizabeth for this test swim in which I'm sure during her training she was withing arms reach so when she decided to test her abilities I'm sure she had seen good improvements to imply that Elizabeth could swim across the pool so she went for a swim test all is okay but this is just my opinion as yours is just that as well. We mustn't pass judgment upon each other nor try to dictate how one another should behave teach or learn for this diversity is what pushes us forward if we can push through logical limits then that's true human nature adaptation and determination 😉
@@sons_of_god1306 I agree that children should be supervised at all times, otherwise it’s called negligence, but an accident implies something unexpected happening like your child walking out the back door while you’re making them food. As father of 3 I can say these kids will try to wander off and explore and I just don’t have 3 sets of eyes. We can all try our best but unfortunately how many people still lose children to kids getting out and falling into pools? In this case the mother did a great job in giving the kid some space so she can feel empowered to complete the task. Her hovering over the baby because of fear might make the baby doubt herself. This need to overprotect and be within arms length at all times is almost always picked up by the children and can harm their confidence. This baby said momma is over there and she told me go so I’m gonna go, confidence on both sides.
Future Olympian Champion. I wish all parents were like this. Building strong, confident, superstars.
Props to the mom for teaching her little baby to do that and to the baby for being better at swimming than I am
All without even dropping her toy. This is awesome on so many levels.
I know it’s a great thing for kids to learn early how to swim. It still makes me so nervous to see it though. I was holding my breath just watching the video waiting for her to get to the other side and come up for air.
I felt the same and wondered why mom wasn't actually in the pool with her for safety sake?!
As a mom I was wondering where the adult was in the pool to make sure she made it. Not even a pair of floaties on her arms or a vest, just in case. I am actually horrified. She did it but half way through I was jumping off my chair, expecting the mother to jump in. She freaked me out when she turned over and started breathing in a very panicked tone. Ugh!!
You guys are extra. You've probably never left the US either.
Yes, not impressive
@@lydiasinclair1126 as a child who was unsupervised most of my life. I would have definitely benefited from swimming lessons at this early stage of life. As a child who almost died from drowning, this made me terrified of water. I think this parent is actually doing a great job and they aren't even that far from her.
Oh. My. Shorts! Holy. Unbelievable! I've heard of babies swimming, and I consider toddlers to be babies right up until they're 4 years old, but man alive, that's beyond tremendous! You're doing it right, mom! Teach 'em young, it'll save their lives later. You both get the trophy for this! 🏆
Brave dad!!!!!!!!!!
Some of the best advice my mother ever gave me was to give my babies swimming lessons when they were tiny, my children were all doing the same thing at 12 months old, it's the best thing a parent can do to keep their child safe around swimming pools! Bravo Elizabeth! And Mom and Dad!
I wish more parents taught their children such a life-saving skill-- before they need it.
If you can afford it
@@BbashE thats true man:/
@@BbashE If you can afford a pool in your backyard, you can afford swimming lessons. The ones who really need it are homes that have a pool.
@@BbashE The Y gives free lessons to poor kids.
@@aryastark575 no but in the Netherlands there is water everywhere and they drown often. The government don't care either because the unvax may not enter the swim club to get swimming lessons.
She swims better than all of us dog paddlin' adults😄😁
She is so brave and talented
Parent: “I can’t believe she made it across!😀”
Me: “…then why is she in there by herself??😭”
My thoughts EXACTLY. I knew I wasn’t the only one that caught that
Bro I’m like nobody else heard that, she was serious like wtf
my god people, it's not like she's miles away from the baby. She's taught her kid how to swim, something most people are too scared to do even if they have a pool that their wondering child could fall into, and just let's her figure it out. That's how we learn. Not by having adults hold our hands every second. She could have easily jumped in to get her if she needed to. I more so think she thought the baby stop instead of pushing forward anyway
Jeff 🎯
Right 🥲😂
man, that baby is going to grow a lot of self confidence
respect to her parents for trusting her like this, I'd be freaking out
Honestly, the baby can do it, but it doesn’t look safe for her as she was gasping for breath so hard as if before she did that she was going to drown.
@@aabahdjfisosososos that baby’s lung capacity are going to be massive
At least be in the pool with the baby imo....
@@PabeLg91 okay but the baby shouldn’t be almost inhaling water and drowning from the inside without parents there in the pool. Bad parenting
Fear fear fear....everyone lives in fear and handicap their children with it
I'm a grown man and still can't swim, this baby i can't believe my eyes, so cute and amazing, this could be world record
Great job, sweetie, you are so smart! Learning to swim young can be lifesaving knowledge! 😄💕
Situation aside, I have never heard a baby breathe like that before and did not expect to have such an emotional and natural stress to that
Me neither, it stood out to me as well. But if you think about it, breathing is so instinctual that it makes sense.
Natural instincts
Well, tiny little lungs do sound different from Big lungs.
Yeah, it seemed, for a second, that she might be struggling, but No, just a routine refill of air.
Impressive, for a micronian.
💪💪💪 she different, maybe next Olympic swimmer?
Welcome to your parenting reflex. The SECOND I was responsible for
My kids as babies, my reflexes toward them
Changed. Sounds like this girl breathing make
Me feel very anxious
This little girl is so adorable and you can tell she's comfortable swimming.
Her little break to take in air and then continue swimming🤗🤗🙏🏾
She knew what to do when run out of air,this is great of teaching her to survive.
She is going to be a big swimmer when she grows up!
The "I can't believe she made it across the pool" comment was hauntingly hilarious!! I mean does dad have an insurance policy on that kid or what 😂😂
Right. But the earliest the better. It comes so natural at that age. 😃
🤣🤣
@@missanna9025 it doesn't come naturally only thing that becomes natural at that age is knowing to hold ur breath underwater can't just throw a kid in water n expect it to swim they still need to learn
@@Adam-uz9sc I didn't see them throw her in the pool. She jumped in happily from the side.
This should not scare people, at 18 months I learned how to swim. Being a Floridian it is very important. My son and daughters learned how to swim around the same age. Thanks dad I passed it on.
Same here 👏 👏 learned before I walked. Definitely have to in this state. It's just as important as walking!
Well I never learned how to swim 😅
I contacted the authorities
Floridian here, I started swimming right after I started walking. If you don’t know how to swim in FL you are screwed
Yeah but mfs from Florida and Louisiana are just built different. There's like 5 square miles of solid ground in the entirety of both states put together lmao
Title: she's swimming
Video: proceeds to drown
Bless you little darling, you are amazing, ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"I can't believe she made it across the pool"
Wait.
Lol
Even if she doesn’t win an Olympic gold in her life, this little Angel is a World champion in my heart.
一歳四ヶ月！？うちの娘と一緒だ………すごい………
娘さんが苦しそうに息継ぎしても手を出さずに見守れる親御さんもすごい…
Such a brave little baby! I still can't swim.
Phelps: “no way”
Baby: “hold my milk”
*takes bong rip*
Phelps:“You got this Boss baby.”
Nice one
👍🤣
😂😂🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏
😭😭😭😭😭❤️🙏
Teaching a child to swim that early shows great love. Likely will save her life one day.
Please do not pass your own fears onto your children.
nah. just dont go near water then u dont have to swim
@@itsketz8019 Guess I'll die of dehydration.
I was in swimming lessons as a really young kid and now I have fear of water because the instructor dunked me under water when I wasn’t ready
I was born in water and I know how to swim before I could walk
@@itsketz8019 what about when the water comes to you? Like in a flood
I’m so proud for you teaching her how to swim at such a young age.
“I can’t believe she made it across the pool” YT FOLKS CRAZY!
Absolutely great 👍 👌 I was holding my breath ❤ she didn't have a life jacket on.
Omg was this terrifying to watch for any other parents? My heart literally started racing a bit watching lol
Me too
Jimmy....th-cam.com/video/FwGRXMAT_Mw/w-d-xo.html
I’m not even a parent and I was scared
I’m not a parent and it was terrifying
I don'tike it either if u see my comments, I didn't know I had read a month ago also and had the same reaction. Kids want to please she's out of breath but they don't know how F. Dangerous it is. I do not like or find it amusing. Maybe a non swimming kid sees this & tries it out
Teaching how to swim, early, like this, will help prevent accidental drowning in the future.
Swimming is a very important skill for a child to learn!
It's mandatory in the Netherlands we all need to learn how to swim through school
Ye bc the mf gone die right there
I’d probably wait an extra year or two, the amount of times early in life they’re in deep water is controllable
Babys can swim.....bruh
@@Realkeepabeing familiar with being submerged in fluid is not the same as knowing how to swim. *They are accustomed to being supplied oxygen by an unbiblical cord.* If you don't teach them how to swim, without inhaling fluid, they'll drown.
What a good baby!! She will be a good swimmer!!
When she gasped my heart dropped!😱
