At only 16 months old, a child who has not yet really learned walking, able to swim without help, and feels in water is absolutely comfortable. Fearless baby swims face down, turning on his back to rest, and take air in lungs. In water, the child is without sleeves, and at the same time able to swim to the far side of the pool without outsiders help, and even without respite. However this wonderful feat collected a lot of negative reviews from viewers on YouTube. IN in particular, people are concerned that the child is forced to swim, despite being tired, and obviously does not want to do this.

He writes that the child on the video is their daughter, whose name is Elizabeth. The girl was properly trained certified instructor. “We are by no means forcing her daughter to do what she does not want. We are able to see signs of child fatigue in the pool. Elizabeth is very decisive girl. Sometimes she flips over to gain air like her taught, and sometimes overcomes a distance in one breath, “- he clarifies. Adam recommends that all parents teach their children swim from early childhood so that children can hold their breath and stay on the water.
