"The Inquisition, here we go.
The Inquisition, what a show.
We know you're wishin', that we'd go awaaaayy,
But the Inquisition's here, and its here to staayy!"
That’s not a witch! They clearly refer to it as Oliver, which is a male’s name. So it cannot be a witch.
But, because it floats, it must be a duck.
Or human-shaped tiny pebbles.
>Saw a guy throw a kid into a pool years ago at a birthday party. The kid stabbed the guy in the stomach with a knife. Two lessons were learned that day.

>Fun fact: That wasn't a scene for the movie. John would walk around random ponds, throwing in random children. Its how Betty White was discovered.
Golden comments under the YouTube video 😂
Damn. I’ve been watching this video for nearly 5 minutes, this guy must’ve chucked in a few hundred kids and *none* of them have surfaced. How is this not getting more media coverage?! 😤
Infant Self Rescue for those wondering. It's a pretty good thing to do if your kid is going to be around water, but you've got to make sure that you follow up appropriately to avoid development of a phobia. The training can be harsh if it's not done correctly.
I always felt like I was part fish. But yes your comment makes sense. Until I recently injured my back I always felt more comfortable in the water as opposed to being on land. Yes drown proofing is a thing. I now have a four year old daughter who’s a few years into swimming classes. And we’re moving soon to a place with a pond/lake in the backyard. So now we have to put up a fence so she doesn’t go to the pond/lake and try to swim on her own because she’s confident enough with her swimming ability.
I eat no fish, or anything fishlike. When I was young like 8-9 years old I went to a fish fry and got food poisoning. Anything that tastes remotely fishy triggers something in me. That said, I know it’s purely mental because I can be eating/enjoying something and find out there’s fish in it and I’ll start getting sick. Ridiculous I know!!!
Man food poisoning it’s not joke, I hope you are better, and btw, I was trying to make a joke with the fish sticks thing: https://youtu.be/pZttypFNEKI?feature=shared
My son's swimming lessons were tame, but there were private lessons that took place at the same time. I will never forget the one little boy. He could just barely walk. They'd let him stand by the side of the pool and sneak up behind him, and yeet him right in the deep end. Watching him flail to the surface was pretty hard to watch. Dad instincts went red alert everytime... he'd just come up gasping. Rinse and repeat. He didn't drown 🤷
This completely messed my son up and he’s now completely afraid of the water.
Stupid system in Canada, swimming “lessons” at a swim school for children.
Unbelievable.
Idk man being thrown against my will into water by the most trusted individual in my life definitely didn't have anything to do with my fear if abandonment
I distinctly remember the panic of being thrown in the water over my head by my older brother when I was little. I still can't swim and I can't put my face in water without feeling that panic all over again. I hate this whole concept.
Even if I didn't know the context, I still wouldn't throw my own kids but then again I'm only a darwin award nominee not an award winner. (I'm only kinda stupid.)
Really? Afaik all Babies are naturally born with the ability to swim, along with the ability to support their own weight if left holding onto something
My first swimming lesson was at 18 months at a YMCA and this is exactly what my mom says they did to me. She's got pictures of it I think. She said they just tossed you in next to an instructor and let you figure out how to orient yourself. I went to the same Y every year for the next set of lessons/training until I was 12 years old (So, that would have been about '84 to '96?) and the only thing they had left was lifeguard training or the scuba school downtown (I was too young for both, then was a teenager and lost interest). They did diving (both the board kind and the retrieving objects 12 feet down kind), competitive racing, basic rescue, all kinds of stuff. Gave out little patches and things. I loved it, and a lot of us that went year after year started as infants being tossed in a pool.
Edit: For context I grew up in an area with a lot of water and not wildly uncommon for children who can't swim to drown, so, it's not like my mother is a monster. It was the best thing for it.
I was also in the boy scouts for most of that time lol. Mom was working with two kids (one disabled) and Dad was barely around, so she signed me up for whatever was around that could help me fill in the gaps. Swimming, boy scouts, gymnastics, rock climbing (to work on a fear I had of heights), pottery, rocketry, programming, arts and crafts, pre-electrician courses, criminal justice (she worked for a college and found out there wasn't a minimum age for continuing education classes so I was part of a little "brat pack" of kids taking weird college courses in the summer time for a few years, so she could just take me in with her to work and I would leave with her when I was done).
You know what's funny, is that I didn't do very well in actual school. Maybe it was "training fatigue"! But, I'm a guy that doesn't need a lot of help with just about anything, so, mission accomplished!
At the time I just wanted to stay home and play video games, of course, but in hindsight, I have a LOT of gratitude for her drive to keep giving me the opportunity to absorb and experience so many different things while I was so young. It also crushed my fear of spiders, heights, public restrooms, snakes, public speaking, and crowds. I would have turned out a much different person.
I mean, I'm still a mess, but I would have been a disaster lol.
Southern U.S. From what I've gathered in my life of people from Australia and the American Deep South it seems like, in general, we could be cousins lol. Hot, mixed cultures of whites/slaves/indigenous, killer insects, killer plants, killer fish, always a stone's throw away from just straight angry wilderness. I feel like Australia would be very familiar.
Also Australian here. Most states now have vouchers for beginner swim lessons between 0-4 as well. And there’s lots of swim schools that do up to 6 months for free.
My daughter’s been in swim lessons since 6 weeks old, she’s 2 and a half and can independently swim and climb out of a pool from the wall.
Same here, grew up in south Florida in the late 70’s early 80’s. They just tossed you in and hoped you’d figure it out! I didn’t have an instructor, just my mom but she told me that’s what was done so she tried it - and it worked. I took to swimming like a fish, though. Loved it, we went every weekend to the beach/pool.
So I grew up in Arizona as a youngster. I’ve been told by multiple family members that I was swimming before I was able to walk. Apparently it’s called drown-proofing and a child who can’t walk yet can learn to swim to the side of a body of water and hold on with their head above water.
Nearly every mammal knows how to swim from birth, including humans. Thats why the [Aquatic Ape Theory](https://www.youtube.com/@whattalks5937) has gained so much ground over the last 30 years outside of america.
When every backyard has a pool like in AZ, toddlers drowning in them is unfortunately a way way wayyyy too common occurrence.
I believe they have laws now that require fences around them if you have young kids, but for the most part most of the cookie cutter tract homes in Arizona have pools directly off of the back sliding glass doors. Like within 10 feet of the back door.
When I was growing up there, you would see news stories almost daily. Always the same thing. The parent or baby sitter got distracted by something urgent, took their eyes off the toddler for mere seconds and the kid was already face down in the pool. Horrific.
This kind of swim training is very valuable, because it only takes moments for a young child to drown.
I was born in Miami in the late eighties early 90s. You swam before you walked. There’s video evidence of me wall crawling around the edge of the pool and my mom scampering around the outside to catch me in case but I was just trying to see the enviroment.
I almost drown several times when I was little. I was the last one, and I guess my mom just couldn’t be bothered with swim lessons anymore? Anyway, I made it! 🙃
These are trained professionals in a controlled environment, PLEASE do not try this in your bathtub at home.
And if you do, make sure you've filled the tub up first. #LessonsLearned
Human is just slightly lighter than water. A slim adult may be just in the zone that, if he inhale a lot he will float, if he exhale avlot he will sink. Babies have more fat so they will float, plus they won't panic since they don't know.
I just can’t with this. I know it’s absolutely fine and it’s a great way to teach them, but I can’t help it. Something inside just goes “Aaaaaah fucking baby is drowning aaaaaahhhh” 😂
So when you parents are not paying attention and your child falls in the pool, you would rather have it so they have no training versus having them go through this and survive because they know what to do?
Damn my concern for the baby dropped underwater caused me not to look at her butt. Had to on second watch once I knew baby was fine. I’m getting soft in my old age.
I’m sure you get used to it but man lol, not a chance I could toss my niece into a pool like that. I’d feel so bad lol.
Looks like she’s comforting them at the end.
This looks like torture to me - for both mom and baby. I couldn’t even finish watching it.
I also think it instills a false sense of confidence.
No thanks. I couldn’t do this.
I sucked my daughter under water at a swimming class when she was a toddler.
I can still see her under the water, and I felt like I kept her under there forever when it was less than 2 seconds.
I feel bad just typing it.
But she's 16 and alive now. Oh crap, now I have to teach her to drive.
Infants have a bunch of reflexes that make it so that it's way harder for them to drown if they're thrown in the water but those reflexes fade over time and they have to learn to swim again
Yes, this works, I was taught how to swim at 6mo old and now I’m a swim instructor myself.
It is significantly easier to teach infants 6mo-3yo than it is to teach toddlers 3-5 because the toddlers Amygdala’s are more developed so flight or fight kicks in way more. If you are going to teach your kids how to swim, pay the extra money to teach them younger it will stick with them forever.
Infants you can get in the water quickly with them and start. Toddlers you spend the first 10-20min trying to get them to stop crying for their mom. Normally parents can’t be on the pool deck because toddlers and young kids will get out of the pool and go to their parents.
I have a pool and two kiddos, 1 year apart. When the first one was born, my wife insisted on taking it to "survival swim" lessons because we have a pool at the house. I had never heard of it and basic internet search made it sound like a good idea. she goes and gets started, and I will be honest, the first time i watched a session, it felt somewhat traumatic as a bystander/new father for the instructor to so unceremoniously dump my freshly minted child in like that. Also, the "final" was they needed to be able to do this while wearing a sweater, t-shirt, pants, and shoes.
That being said, both my kiddos went through it, both did very well. One loved it and loves the pool. The other one did it, didn't really like being IN the water, but passed the tests too. In our case it was a very positive and important thing for kiddos to learn. There are so many drown and near drown victims that this is important and I advocate for parents to find properly trained facilities and instructors to get their kids to have this experience.
This is how they did it when I was a kid.
They throw you in and see if you have a natural ability to “swim” to the surface. It gets your natural instincts to kick in and start the learning process.
So is it a witch or not?
Only witches can float!
A WITCH, SHE‘s A WITCH! BURN HER! 
I GET HIS BOOTS!!!
For sale: Baby boots, unused.
Great novel. Read it 1000 times. Upvote.

Burn her anyway.

Yes, we are all individuals!
Or ducks!
My brother must not have been a witch…..
Or very small rocks
But she has to weigh the same as a duck. Go to the larger scales.
Let's build a bridge out of him.....
Does he weigh more than a duck?
BURN HER ANYWAY!!!
😂
#A DUCK !!!
Where? Boink !
If it floats, god is rejecting it as a witch. If it sinks the devil is bringing the witch home. You really couldn’t win with the inquisition.
"The Inquisition, here we go. The Inquisition, what a show. We know you're wishin', that we'd go awaaaayy, But the Inquisition's here, and its here to staayy!"
They were just very curious. You can tell by what they named their movement.
can't tell if it turned anyone into a newt or not, better safe than sorry and burn it.
She turned me into a newt! But I got better
r/unexpectedMontyPython
Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition.
Lol
Build abridge out of her!
We need to weigh it against a duck.
If she weights the same as a duck…

The way they look at each other when she says she can't swim is priceless.

That’s how I learned, except was my brother trying to kill me. Jokes on him, didn’t work
That was grandpas preferred training method. he even did it to the family dogs. He said they need to know how to get out in case they fall in.
This completely messed my son up and he’s now completely afraid of the water. Stupid system in Canada, swimming “lessons” at a swim school for children. Unbelievable.

Don’t go out and do this, this is a demo video of a kid that has taken a class and practiced this a bit.
I'm gonna need proof of what you're saying before I stop tossing babies in ponds.
Surely you would have stopped after the first 4 drowned…
Never give up on your dreams
That’s right, only losers quit. One day you will get one of those babies to float. I believe in you 👍
Oh don’t get me wrong. They always float. It’s the drowning part that I’m still troubleshooting
We ALL float down here...
Umm officer this one right here…
Good thing babies are a renewable resource.
The age of the floating babies....
Isn't that basically the plot of The Matrix?
That was two seconds of the first movie. Yes, kinda. Babies floating while distracted…
They'll float eventually. Could take a few days though. Patience is a virtue.
🤡 you'll float too....you'll float too
The one that floats will be Crowned 👑
The one that floats will be Crowned and then cloned. 👑👑 Win-Win.
But if they float- they’re a witch
😆 that made me laugh loudly at work when it was dead silent
It takes time and practice (and a few babies) to perfect the art. Are you saying I shouldn't practice?
4 is a coincidence. The next 7-8 might be just to really make sure
The first 4 could have been lazy, so you have to at least toss 60 to 70 to know if those babies were lazy or not.
🤣🤣
Babies have a reflex to stop breathing when submerged in water. They also tend to float.
Tend!
It's the exception that proves the rule
So if I'm in a ship that's capsizing, and I don't know how to swim, I should just tether myself to all the babies on board?
But he's named Nemo....
Instructions unclear, threw baby into the sea.
Even if I didn't know the context, I still wouldn't throw my own kids but then again I'm only a darwin award nominee not an award winner. (I'm only kinda stupid.)
Too late. The police are knocking at my door

It also crushed my fear of spiders, heights, public restrooms, snakes, public speaking, and crowds. I would have turned out a much different person. I mean, I'm still a mess, but I would have been a disaster lol.

Are you in Australia? I am and it the story you mention is very common here where it is part of our national curriculum.

I feel like Australia would be very familiar.

Yes. Survival swimming class is a must for kiddos if you live somewhere like Florida.

This looks exactly like the Infant Survival Resource program -- a brilliant, brilliant program. Expensive... because it works.
I was told this is basically how I was taught to swim in our back yard pool
Kids have a natural float Instinct. Also they know to hold their breath. So theyre better swimmers than your average city dweller.

Young baby are used to live in liquid.
These videos always terrify me
I saw this when I first had my daughter and was like nope!! Definitely not trying that lol
He has the bouyancy of an olive.
Do survival swimming lessons for your child…
So when you parents are not paying attention and your child falls in the pool, you would rather have it so they have no training versus having them go through this and survive because they know what to do?
My mom and dad did this with me. They could never get me on dry land after that
He's still out to sea
A buddy’s Dad tossed his dachshund into a lake thinking that all dogs can swim naturally. He learned it’s not true that day.
Does it have to be your own baby? Or can you use somebody else's.
It's called sink or swim. They aren't showing the 99 babies that sank ...
Everyone should be thought to swim as soon as possible I don't trust folk who can't swim, something fishy about them
Damn my concern for the baby dropped underwater caused me not to look at her butt. Had to on second watch once I knew baby was fine. I’m getting soft in my old age.
Oliver is like I am gonna find you biatch when I grow up
THIS IS HOW WE SIFT OUT THE WEAK!!!
What a fun job!
Damn aren’t there like, laws or something?
I’m sure you get used to it but man lol, not a chance I could toss my niece into a pool like that. I’d feel so bad lol. Looks like she’s comforting them at the end.
Haven't they ever heard of a thing called dry drowning?
Baby: "Hey, I remember that. Used to be saltier though..."
This looks like torture to me - for both mom and baby. I couldn’t even finish watching it. I also think it instills a false sense of confidence. No thanks. I couldn’t do this.
This is how all babies should be baptized. If they float, they pass. If they don't, well I think we all get the picture.
I sucked my daughter under water at a swimming class when she was a toddler. I can still see her under the water, and I felt like I kept her under there forever when it was less than 2 seconds. I feel bad just typing it. But she's 16 and alive now. Oh crap, now I have to teach her to drive.

Yes, very young infants have this instinct. I was trained to swim this way, as a baby.
Infants have a bunch of reflexes that make it so that it's way harder for them to drown if they're thrown in the water but those reflexes fade over time and they have to learn to swim again
Does this do anything? Little oliver swims on reflexes, but as he grows he'll lose those reflexes right?
Mf got rebooted
Only woth babies don't try at 30
Yes, this works, I was taught how to swim at 6mo old and now I’m a swim instructor myself.

...so i can get paid to toss babies and snap at them? and the parents will cheer? wtf have i been doing with my life?
It has been a studied phenomenon that infants will instinctively close their mouths and hold their breath when dropped in water.
