Shame a few more parents don't watch this and teach their kids how to survive in water. Typical of another comment here - "I'm a lazy ass". Yeah, well so are thousands of other parents, and they are the ones that watch their kids die from falling into pools and ponds.

i'm a lazy ass and don't got the time to teach them nifty techniques to survive drowning. fencing it off is the best idea

This is much better than what my folks did. They tried that "sink or swim" tactic on me when I was 3, launching me into the center of the pool at a 45 degree angle. One thing they failed to realize is that chlorine can be very strong on those little eyes. I remember it stung like crazy. My response of course was to flail around madly in pain looking for someone to hit and trying to drink the entire pool.

good thought; lots of insight; I was waiting for the dog to jump in; he's the one who left the door open.

I thought the 5 minutes was a little cruel at first too, but then I thought about it.Its good for the baby's training; ads dislike of being near the pool and could help keep the baby away from the pool in the first place (though a later-life fear of water could develop, maybe?). Also, the baby could be in there for a while. If its picked up after two seconds of floating each time,it will eventually not see the point of floating for an extended time period.

If you keep watching it shows a little older children swiming a short distance, turning over to float, rest, and breath, then continuing to swin to the pool's edge.Still best to just put a fence up.

haha cute fat white baby :)

I guess they were trying to show how long a baby could survive like that to prove it's a good tactic; but baby could still drown and the next step should be teaching him to swim to the nearby staircase and climb up the stairs since 15 min could go by without an adult realizing baby is in trouble; he's beautiful though and smiled the moment he was lifted up. The crying is the best part as it alerts the parent who thinks the baby is asleep in his crib to the fact that he is indeed in the pool.

Your right. I meen for a video they didnt need to leave him there for five friggen minutes it was so sad.

I see the purpose of doing this which is great but that video is crule. Five mintues seams a bit much with the parents right there. That poor thing was crying for help and they just keept rolling. If your so worried about it put up a fence or dont have a pool. For older kids it might be alright but that poor thing was screaming and they just kept going. That was sick.
