One-Year-Old Girl Spins In A Pool Without Any Help From Her Parents

How fast can you teach a child to swim? Learning to swim is really not much different than walking and talking. It is a process, not an event. Can you remember when you were teaching your child how to walk or talk? Do you remember how encouraging and how excitable you were as your child made even baby steps of progress? It's important that you give the same unconditional support and patience when your child is learning to swim.

"Drowning is the number one leading cause of injury-related deaths in infants and children under the age of five. They can start learning how to swim as young as 6-months of age. Please teach your kids how to swim so they can save themselves until help arrives. For those of you who have asked, my youngest daughter was 12-months-old at the time of this video and my oldest was only 3-years-old. They both learned to swim starting at nine-months-old from our swim instructor, Brigitte Strickland, who specializes in infant and child survival swim."

Swimming is more than a fun way to relax and get down to some exercise. It is a useful skill which can save your life and the life of other people if a need arises. Some parents want to get their kids in the pool from very early age in order to boost their confidence in the water. These two kids in the video, as the description above says, learned to swim when they were just babies, at nine months - an age when many infants are completely dependant on their parents.

These two girls are like little mermaids when it comes to taking a nice, long dip in the pool, showing incredible competence as they splash happily in the water. The focus in the video is on the little one, demonstrating extraordinary skills as she strikes out with her little arms and legs; turning this way and that in the water without any fear.

Brigitte, the lady who taught these girls to swim, is undoubtedly the greatest in the area for infant and child survival swim. The approach she uses is based upon creating fun and positive experiences for babies that will increase not only the physical but also the emotional, intellectual and social skills. We are fascinated by the independence and the strength of such young children and we may even teach our babies these similar skills. This little baby obviously has a passion for water and beyond any doubt one day she will be competitive in swimming and maybe take part in the Olympics.

She can be qualified as a “water baby” and this attribute suits her the best. The moment captured on camera is incredible as this toddler performs back-stroke, front crawl and spins in the water without any help. She is natural and spins around with ease unaccompanied by her parents. The youngster is even able to climb out of the water and swims from one side of the shallow end to the other. She had swimming lessons when she was nine months old with an instructor who specializes in infant and child survival swim and it clearly was a useful investment and it paid off.
