A SWIMMING teacher has revealed the reason why he throws babies fully dressed into pools – even when they’re wearing shoes. Aquatics Behavioral Specialist, Michael Patrella, teaches children …
Credit: Tiktok/@ mr.michaelpetrellaHe teaches babies to swim and float, and does so when they're fully dressed because most drowning accidents happen outside the poolAnd he raised a few eyebrows when he encouraged a mum to drop her fully-dressed baby into the deep end.
Explaining why he does this, Michael wrote: “Most drownings happen during non-swim time so we practice in regular clothes.”In the video the tot, who is dressed in a shirt, shorts and shoes, is plopped into the water by his mum, and in a matter of seconds he flips himself over so that he’s floating on his back.
The video has since received more than 9.2 million views, and thousands of comments as parents urged others to give their babies swimming lessons. One wrote: “If more parents would do this and keep up with it, there would be less deaths by drowning. Swimming lessons save lives.”
