Tricks of the Trade

Now here is the best trick of the trade I have seen, www.childdrowningprevention.com/index.html I saw this over the summer--a 6month old who had been taught through ISR. It's the freakiest thing in the world to see a baby who can hardly hold itself up on land float in the water, and roll over to get face up in the water. They keep their eyes open the whole time and don't even blink. I also heard from the mother of the infant that the lessons themselves are just short of torture for both infant and the mother herself--watching the baby scream and cry and go crazy. The mom said that the babies (everyone that she saw) would cry the minute they got into the pool area because they could anticipate the next 20minutes. I guess in the end it is a great resource and a great thing for people who want to take that extra precaution but I don't know if I could do it to my kid.
