It could also make them fear water for the rest of their little lives!

Damn. As a parent, I’m having a panic attack just looking at this.

Never understood this. Terrifying if you're in their place.

My dad did this with me in 1977 when I was 18 mos old & I am grateful!

Shouldn't the real point be that this would/could get folks arrested today in The Land of the Free, and it was put on TV in the '70s?

Gee what could go wrong?

Actually Stefan... Isn't it true that BEFORE we develop language, we don't remember things, because we have no way to access/understand the memories? These babies, btw, seem to be handling it pretty well. I'm not sure preparing children for such things is bad...

Its like parents teaching children fire safety buy setting there cribs on fire. Or how to gather food buy giving them a 12 gauge and releasing then in the woods.

We have swimming classes for very young child at the YMCA but the parents hold their children the whole time. This is nuts

Stefan, you’re giving me nightmares with all this negative news involving kids. 1st the article from California University and now this?

@vocativ not true. Waterproofing babies in America for ages & swim teachers don’t do it violently. Kids don’t remember.

I can easily pick up objects from the bottom of swimming pool (18 feet deep ).... but this looks kinda scary. I mean just invest into swimming lessons at older age. Water is not enemy
