Baby Swimming - Little Dippers Waterbabies

i learnt to swim in a program like this when i was 3 weeks old

Wow I got scare at 1:05! lolz They look like they are having fun :p so cute

My Daughter was in a class like this before we moved. It is so scary the fisrt few times you dunk your baby under. It's actually easier the younger they are though. It's an awesome thing.

Aww.. I think it is good that they are learning at such a young age. But I'm not so sure I would want to throw my baby in the water like they are doing. Maybe when they are almost a year or so I would do that. But I think it is great. I just bought a baby swim suit for my brother's friend's baby, it is so cute! A blue swim diaper and a blue swim tee with a little shark on it.. and also some really small sunglasses with a strap that he could wear.. so cute.. I know he will like it :)

arent u scared theyll die

LOL 0:54 this kid looks like YODA xD
same eyes

they absolutely love the water and taking them swimming young is so exciting! My son can swim by himself in armbands and hes only nearly 3!! I took him early too!

Thank you for the clarification. I thought he was talking about punching your kid in the face. O___o

LMAO @ 2:13 "You take it".

Oh, yes. Thank you very much.

I believe "jabs" is the English way of saying shots or inoculations.

My baby is 5 month and started his swim classes. It is amazing to look them swim, he is so happy and love to splash.

Hello, I was wondering what you meant by the word "jabs?"
Best, Brandt

As a swimming teacher, I love this! If only more parents were concerned with their child's safety in water. The only thing I would say is that I would strongly recommend not taking your baby swimming until they have had their jabs.

43 lol

man that must be verry fun i want to be a baby now !!!

Just to make it clear,the babies are gently guided into the h2o so they can't hit their heads, but NOT until they have control over their breath and will not gulp any h2o. NOBODY just tossed my baby into the h2o. Besides, I have family and friends w/ pools and hottubs,supervision is ####1, but if you aren't there, how do you know they get 100% supervision??This is just 1 more chance for the baby.

OK, my son is 17 months and just finished the ISR training.Goggles change the way we see underwater, so if your baby falls into a body of H2O they need to know how to open their eyes to find a way out...IF they are old enough to actually do the swim part.Many young babies only start w/ floating, because of breath control.AND they should have ears checked out, mine did,and were fine.Hopefully the pools clorine is monitered, but definatly check the record of the pool if you are concerned.

i can try to answer any of your questions , either in writing or via [ Skype ] ... my skype is related to my : [ Youtube ] .

I don't wear goggles when swimming.

I think your concerns are valid, but overall quite small when compared to the thousands of deaths that occur from drowining every year.

no, babies have a "dive reflex", where they automatically hold their breath when submerged. This is what the first few lessons are all about, helping the baby with their dive reflex.

yes, but it is better for a baby to get an ear infectiont han to drown from swimming.

Also, ear plugs can help with that.

These are just some concerns I have. If these concerns can be cleared up, I would be very happy and would love to teach my babies to swim!

Any answers?

Thanks!! =)

Also, if you throw a baby in the water like that...wouldn't they gulp down heaps of swimming water and some could go into their nose and even might not be good for their eyes? Shouldn't they wear goggles like adults do? Also, wouldn't the extensive levels of Chlorine in the swimming pool be dangerous for the baby's delicate, sensitive skin?

Only one thing I'm concerned about is, wouldn't it be dangerous for babies as they can get ear infections from swimming? Sometimes adults can get them too.
