Elizabeth is a little ichthyander.

At just 16 months, a baby who has not yet learned to walk is able to swim unaided and feels comfortable in the water. The fearless child swims face down, turning on his back to rest and gaining air into his lungs. In the water, the child is without armlets, and at the same time is able to swim to the far side of the pool without assistance, and even without respite. However, this remarkable feat has garnered a lot of negative reviews from viewers on YouTube.

In particular, people are concerned that a child is forced to swim despite being tired and clearly does not want to. Responding to the comments, the father of the child, who posted the video on the video hosting, explains that he is a qualified medical worker, and his wife worked for six years in the coast guard and taught swimming. The child in the video is their daughter, Elizabeth. The girl was properly trained by a certified instructor. “We do not force our daughter to do what she does not want to do. We can see signs of fatigue in the pool. Elizabeth is a very determined girl. Sometimes she flips over to gain air, as she was taught, and sometimes she overcomes the distance in one breath. Adam recommends that all parents teach their children to swim from early childhood, so that children can hold their breath and stay on water. The parents say, "Please!" Do not throw a child into the water and expect him to swim. It is very dangerous and can injure him. A toddler can get scared of the water, and it will take years to just get close to the pool, let alone learn to swim. After parents explained what was actually happening in the video, the number of positive reviews increased significantly. Most commentators admire the girl and predict her future star of the Olympic pools.
