Aug 20, 2008 - Don't be an asshole, I'm sure this training has saved lives.

Aug 20, 2008 - actually, babies aren't as "susceptible" to learning because their brains aren't fully developed yet. the fact that this program can teach babies who can't even talk to float on their backs and swim is pretty fucking amazing. i know some adults who can't even do that.

MaxThinksHesCool Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - That's completely wrong. They ARE susceptible to learning BECAUSE their brain is developing. An example of this is how toddlers learn a language just by absorbing it from their parents.

ChickenBot Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - I think it is easier to teach a baby or toddler to relax and enjoy floating, than a full grown adults with fear of drowning and dying...Kids are amazing...if they learn to enjoy something they will do it better.___Additionally, Is it just me or did you also feel the urge to jump in the water and save that floating baby??

ChickenBot Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - FACT #1One more thing...kids do what the like.FACT #2They teach them these techniques using "real world" scenarios (fully clothed)THEORYI wonder how you get your kids NOT to jump in (fully clothed) every pool or water fountain they see as entertainment.SOLUTIONEverytime you go to the mall, please bring an extra set of clothes and a pair of shoes.

Aug 20, 2008 - i don't know if you're talking seriously or not.

asdaaasdaa Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - I like how you call them "skilled." Like I'm supposed to be impressed that a human can swim. <_<

Aug 20, 2008 - yes i know that babies learn a LOT in the first few years of their lives but the fact that toddlers can understand that they are in water and then use motor skills to navigate in the foreign substance is pretty fucking amazing IMO.

Aug 20, 2008 - No, I just have a nephew whom I care for very much and the thought of him falling into water gives me the shudders.If having human emotion and concern makes me a pussy then I'm fine with that.

JammyBtard Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Even if what he says makes little sense it has to be better than going around calling people pussies for no fucking reason.

ChickenBot Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Wow...I just read my own comment and I noticed it can be read as both joke and a serious comment.

ElizabethT45 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - I appreciate the idea of teaching babies to float, but in a real world situation, who knows how long it could be before an adult would figure out that the baby is in the pool? This can't be a substitute for putting a locked, gated fence around a backyard pool, can it?

PKBitchGirl Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - ElizabethT45, wouldn't it make sense to both teach the kid to float and swim AND have a locked, gated fence around the pool?Just in case, I dunno, somebody leaves the gate open or a young child manages to squeeze through or climb the fence?

brukernavn1 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - This is not "learning" as we think of it. It's conditional training. Like giving dogs electrical collars to make them stop barking...

patitogigante Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - That kid floats like masa-crusted mahi mahi on hot oil. Perhaps this is why some of its links show in the stats for my fish taco video.Not drowning is rad!

mpgarate Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - I wouldnt trust someone caring for my toddler who couldn't spell breathe correctly1:47

googlefrank26 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Nice. All of my children will learn to do this for sure. When I decide to have kids...

bachterman Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - god, those americans sure love abbrevations.

MamaCatCat Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Making a typo makes you incapable of caring for a child? Wow... ("Wouldn't" includes an apostrophe, by the way.)

MamaCatCat Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - This trainign absolutely should NOT be a substitute for supervision and safety precautions. ISR Instructors everywhere agree with you. :)

Tina9544 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - All three of my kids have done ISR. My youngest is 13 months and is doing it now. It certainly is not a substitute for a locked fence around the pool, but things happen. And most parents would realize within a short time period that a young child is missing and would check the pool first.

RUfistinme Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - i wish i could float like that kid, man i just sink like a frikn stone!

novazee Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Unbelievable.
