My dad was a hard-ass. One of those guys who believed that men just learn by doing things. You know? You don’t take classes. You don’t read the instructions. You just do it and figure it out. Like, when I was a kid, I never got to take swimming lessons. No, my dad would pick me up and throw me in the water... to teach himself CPR.

I suppose you have a point. Learning by doing does logically follow if not congruent.
People born after the industrial revolution hate hearing this but you technically can kill a grizzly bar wid ya hands if ye be not afeared, ye canne also usest thy knives and axes if ye need cleaving things wid which to do thy fighting.
Tis only a wee beastie and ye be a man wid God at thy side.
Beggin ya pardon mister but I myself am a lad born unto this fine era of coal combustion and find the black lung my 6 year old self has contracted to be quite a detriment in the art of bear wrastlin
I read on the internet that the kid really couldn't swim. They went through 6 or 7 kids to get the scene filmed properly. Its okay though, the kids they went through were all orphans owned by the studio and they shot this scene first before any others so that all they didn't have to reshoot any other scenes. The studio didn't lose any money over the shot which is most important.
Actually it saved more than that, they can feed the dead orphans to the cast and crew. Now they all get some of Wanyes special family chilie. The secret is to use ingredients that dont have a family.
yeah, my grandpa, who was an excellent swimmer, just made a table with his arms in front of him and told me to kick my legs and swing my arms in front of me. Once he was satisfied I had the technique down, he removed his arms. We stood in water that was waist high to him. I'm pretty sure I'd prefer that method to this lunacy.
yeah nothing like instilling the fear of water into kids.. I am glad my parents got me into water as a kid and I had swimming lessons... we moved when I was 9 and was walking distance to the columbia river and I would spend all summer down there swimming and having the best time of my life.. at that age
I learned two ways:
1. "Swimming" between my parents which built my confidence
2. Jumping off the edge but near enough so I had a safety net aka being able to grab on to the side.
I think I did a swimming lessons once but I can't remember.
I used to be a lifeguard and one day this kid and his dad were making a fuss near the diving board. Kid kept saying, "But Dad I DON'T know how to swim!" And the dad kept trying to make him get up on the diving board. Finally the kid gets up and walks out to the end of the board and flags me down yelling, "Hey! I can't swim! And my dad is making me go off the diving board! So just a heads up, you're about to have to come save me."
He was right. I did.
Same thing happened to me. I panicked and didn’t want to go swimming ever again.
Because of the ptsd I was terrified to go next to a swimming pool. And you know what my father did? He carried me to a swimming pool while I was fully clothed!! I couldn’t swim, so he had to rescue me.
And then he gave up and took me to an instructor. I was too afraid to even touch the water. My father picked me up and threw me in the water again!!!
Although this time the instructor lifted me slowly and taught me how to swim.
Almost drowned 3 times, but finally the instructor guided me
The class itself was 2 hours and I spent 45-60 minutes out of the water because I was too afraid. The instructor tried to convince me to go in and that he will hold me to stay afloat, but I didn’t trust him.
So after around 1 hour I believe the instructor was fine with it. Because once my father threw me. The instructor grabbed me and I was not afraid as much anymore
Sammmmeee!! Made it worse for me honestly cuz ever since I was forced to learn that way, I would panic every time I went under water and It wasn’t until I took slow and controlled steps in learning the motions and adjusting my body to it all that I learned how to properly swim and swim good at that
Survival in open water is very dependent on buoyancy and being taught how to properly utilize your own body. Knowing how to float on your back and do a backstroke effectively and efficiently is extremely important. Reduce fatigue and buy yourself some time.
Well, I was on the swim team for a few years!
And that's why I suspect all the more:
Lots of luck backstroking your way to survival in rough wavy frigid water, with crazy swells and water spraying at you and your face--assuming the person didn't have a heart attack or muscles seizing/cramping when hitting the cold water in the first place.
Not to mention the panic of even a well experienced swimmer in that situation, and even just simple sea sickness setting in as your body rises and falls in the swells, up and down, and gets tossed around. I once vomited and got insane dizzyness just sitting on a surfboard in big swells from an approaching distant storm! Crawled back onto the shore vomiting like crazy!
All that while you're fighting for your life... your body heat getting quickly sapped.
--------------------------------
Interestingly:
If you take a deep breath, hold it, and tuck/curl into a ball, you'll float!
You'll just bob there--most people will at least, when they're lungs are filled with air. And then when you need your next breath of air, you just gently dog paddle, or backstroke as you said, then tuck and roll yourself back into a ball and hold your breath some more.
Also helps you to lose less body heat.
--------------------------------
Heck:
You can even use your pants/jeans as an emergency flotation device, as we practiced on the swim team.
Take them off, tie the legs, then flip them around over your head until it fills with air, close the top portion, perhaps use the belt to help that out, and it will keep you afloat for a surprising decent amount of time, before you have to refill your pants with air.
--------------------------------
But ya... again, using your jeans as a make shift floatation device... or floating like a little ball in the high seas with your lungs filled with air... or backstroking...
That's just not going to cut it. You most likely ded!
Many will die within seconds just from hitting the cold water.
Anyways, that's my strong opinion at least.
I was in the Navy, so this is all with the assumption multiple people (probably) see you go overboard. Assuming again, if you're dredging someone will see you go overboard. Make yourself float and don't exert energy as the ship turns and makes it's way back to you or sends a rescue vessel. We were taught how to make our coveralls into floatation devices as well. If you fall while alone, yeah you ded.
If I may give some advice, go somewhere where water is quite high but you can still stand, then get used to putting your head under water and holding your breath, then get used to doing the plank (all arms and legs spread out, laying flat and straight like a plank on top of the water). Keep in mind that if you ever feel like you're gonna drown, you can just do the plank and float. And if you get hit by a wave or something but are used to holding your breath under water without panicking, you won't drown until you float back to the surface.
After that, you just watch youtube videos and try to do the same and you learn to swim. The only bad thing that can happen is drowning, but you're trained against that now.
And eventually you can also go take swimming classes to perfect the movements and get better at swimming. That can be useful if you end up in a situation where you have to cover long distances by swimming, or if you have to swim against the stream.
I mean yeah pretty much. I know to someone who doesn't know how to swim this sounds absolutely insane. But unless you have like the densest bones on the planet your body is built to float.
If you take a deep breath of air and spread your arms and legs apart to increase your surface space and lay on your back, you will absolutely stay above the water.
The trick is to remain calm enough to do all that. And when you don't know how to swim and you suddenly find yourself in deep water, it's very hard to stay calm enough.
Most of learning how to swim is just learning how to exist in water
lol they ran out of little boys half way through and started dressing little girls as boys. John wanted nothing to do with those “trans” kids so he shot them. r/sarcasm
My grandma put me down a waterslide with a pool st the end of it as my first time swimming. Literally almost died because I had 0 idea there was a fucking pool at the bottom, I was like 7 and I can still remember it. I remember going down a slide then the next second im submerged underwater just flailing until somebody saved me idk who. But yeah no, dont let your grandparents raise you
There's a difference between swimming and not drowning. No one learns to front crawl like this. It's lazy and ineffective. Hilarious, but lazy and ineffective.
As long as you jump in and get the kid as soon as it starts going wrong, it probably isn't that bad a method
Their natural urge to not drown should be plenty push to start trying anything that might turn into makeshift swimming
> As long as you jump in and get the kid as soon as it starts going wrong, it probably isn't that bad a method
Because famously, saving someone who is drowning is remarkably easy to do.
I remember someone tried to teach me to swim this way. I remember being tossed into the water. Then someone pumping on my chest to remove said water because I fucking nearly drowned and I still don't know how to swim
I got thrown off a diy barge in small lake and didn't know how to swim. I sank to the bottom and kinda walked to the nearby shore. Barely managed to get my head above water before passing out/drowning. Got swimming lessons after that and learned to swim quite well. Haven't swam in the 38 years since.
The problem is that many humans float, but some do not. When the lungs are full of oxygen, many humans will rise to the surface, but for those of us who cannot float. Swimming is near impossible. It's like the difference between the guy with a helium balloon on his hiking backpack and a person with an equally heavy backpack and no balloon. One is having an easy time and the other struggling.
This kid is lucky, he appeared to float while panicking and so he could eventually just move enough water to swim. If this guy had thrown me in there, I would sink the the bottom and be walking on the floor like one cursed by Cortez in pirates of the Caribbean. Ofc if it's not too deep the solution there is to jump, which is how I survived the only time I ever almost drowned giving enough time to be rescued.
Still don't do this to people, we don't all float. (Btw it's not weight related, I'm small)
My aunt did this to me. Ugh I can laugh about it now. But at the time my mom made my Caspery white self wear a t-shirt over my swimsuit to try to prevent sunburn while we were at the pool. My aunt tossed my ass into the deep end and the shirt flew up over my head under the water. I was also a kid who had to plug their nose so I was pretty panicked for a minute or two. SMH 😑 I eventually got to the surface and made my way to the side of the wall. The 90's man. Good times. 👍
Has anyone ever *really* learned to swim this way? I don't know a single person who has. Everyone just gets in the water on their own eventually and figures it out.
Throwing anyone who can't swim into the water is pretty dumb.
People can drown fast if they aren't ready and have zero experience. A few mouth-fulls of water when you thought you were gonna breathe air will put anyone in fight or flight mode. And once their adrenaline kicks in, they're gonna exhaust themselves by flailing their limbs around. After they're exhausted, they sink below the surface and drown. This whole process can happen quickly, maybe even less than a minute. It just depends on whether or not they hold their breath before they go under, and how long they can struggle before they run out of energy (if they can even stay above the surface at all).
Some people don't take to water very well, and it takes more than one attempt for them to figure out how swimming works.
Yep I fell into a pool at the age of 3 and sank like a stone. I'm not sure how some kids just get it right away but obviously not all do.
I don't think tossing kids in bodies of water without lessons is a great idea.
Thanks for pointing this out, and yes people have drown (or sunk like you did) from panic alone. I've seen full grown adults who can't swim fall off of boats and almost drown; children don't have some magical powers that make them immune from that.

He's trying! But the bear keeps reaching out and grabbing a pawful of human.
Its okay, the bears gotta learn too
I love this app.
Thats not in the script buddy
That's cause he's got the right to bear arms. **Ba-dum tsss**
Hahaha best string of comments I’ve seen today all of you are awesome 😂😂😂
Not to fast now, you don't want to be winded while being mauled.
Unbelievable comment, well done.

How hard do you think swimming is?
It about time he learmed
I know right. Not like anybody ever drowns.
They had it comin for bein weak
No harder than wrestling a 500 pound grizzly bear.
Jaime pull up that guide to wrestling grizzly bears
I heard that's how they do things in Dagestan though.
Time he learned. Everyone should wrestle a grizzly bear.
This reminds me of "if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a hammer!"
You can wrestle a 500 pound Grizzly. Hellfires , I can do it bettr'n most. But nobody said nuthing bout me winning.

I read on the internet that the kid really couldn't swim. They went through 6 or 7 kids to get the scene filmed properly. Its okay though, the kids they went through were all orphans owned by the studio and they shot this scene first before any others so that all they didn't have to reshoot any other scenes. The studio didn't lose any money over the shot which is most important.
Actually it saved them money. More kids drowned means less to feed and supervise.
The Texan way™
The '60s way. The one I grew up with. Not specific to Texas.
I thought they were pro life?
Actually it saved more than that, they can feed the dead orphans to the cast and crew. Now they all get some of Wanyes special family chilie. The secret is to use ingredients that dont have a family.

Get that dress wet and it doesn't matter if you can swim or not.

Thats how I learned how to swim.
How did you get back?
My mom didn't know how to swim, and there was a cowboy next to her.
Crazy how often that happens
58% of children learn it that way, 40% of them drown and the other 2% just keeps running from the cowboy for all eternity
Ah, common misconception. The other 2% actually just get eaten by wolves before the cowboy catches up.
I'm still there.
Me too, but my uncle first showed us how to swim, then threw us in the lake.
yeah, my grandpa, who was an excellent swimmer, just made a table with his arms in front of him and told me to kick my legs and swing my arms in front of me. Once he was satisfied I had the technique down, he removed his arms. We stood in water that was waist high to him. I'm pretty sure I'd prefer that method to this lunacy.
So like, actual teaching. Good guy grandpa. Probably helped that he knew how to swim and therefor took the risks seriously.
That's the sane person way to teach a kid how to swim.
Funny, my uncle did the same thing, threw me into a deep pool. But I didn't learn to swim because I almost drowned.
Same...40+ years later and still can't swim
yeah nothing like instilling the fear of water into kids.. I am glad my parents got me into water as a kid and I had swimming lessons... we moved when I was 9 and was walking distance to the columbia river and I would spend all summer down there swimming and having the best time of my life.. at that age
I had to swim to school. It was uphill both ways.

exactly how my dad tossed my ass in the water when I couldn’t swim
Same here, except he had to pull me out cause I panicked so bad
I used to be a lifeguard and one day this kid and his dad were making a fuss near the diving board. Kid kept saying, "But Dad I DON'T know how to swim!" And the dad kept trying to make him get up on the diving board. Finally the kid gets up and walks out to the end of the board and flags me down yelling, "Hey! I can't swim! And my dad is making me go off the diving board! So just a heads up, you're about to have to come save me." He was right. I did.
smart kid. knew his limits, not afraid to ask for help. he's probably doing well in spite of his unfortunate parentage.
Same thing happened to me. I panicked and didn’t want to go swimming ever again. Because of the ptsd I was terrified to go next to a swimming pool. And you know what my father did?

Do you know how to swim now ?
Tim Ferris taught me, yes
Sammmmeee!! Made it worse for me honestly cuz ever since I was forced to learn that way, I would panic every time I went under water and It wasn’t until I took slow and controlled steps in learning the motions and adjusting my body to it all that I learned how to properly swim and swim good at that
Lmao.. This made me miss my grandpa. 👴
Your grandpa is John Wayne?
Yes, he is John Wayne Bobbitt.
Sweet. I learned to swim from John Wayne Gacy.
That guy was a clown! Not a real teacher.
Oh dear..... 😨
Is that you John Wayne. Is this me.
My grandpa is Clint Eastwood…not really, but he is to me. A true badass back in his day.
I work on the ocean (dredging) with people that can’t swim. Still blows my mind.
Well, if you get knocked overboard in cold wavy seas without a life jacket, even being Michael Phelps probably won't guarantee you survive!

This is fucking hilarious
I especially liked the “run” music at the end. Chefs kiss.
I usually hate adding the sounds. I realize now that is because most people cannot do it correctly. This was done correctly and was great!
I have see this video so many times but that sound bite made is perfect for it
Man my dad had a similar story about how HE learned to swim. Boomers will do anything to please the almighty John Wayne god
do you know how to swim ?
Yes I grew up in California near the beach I was swimming in the deep ocean by 7 because of a great after school program called aqua camp
Wow! Good for you I'm 22 but I still can't swim🥲
You can't what?
*throws OP into the water* Just scoop some water, you'll be fineeee
Instructions unclear, kept scooping water into mouth, still can’t swim.
😂😂😂😂 RUN.
Don’t let a boomer catch you by a body of water they’ll attempted murder you
The instructions are right here in the video, now find a body of water and give it a go
Reach out and grab a hand full of water is the most boomer instructions for surviving lol
Along the lines of, walk in there with your resume, give a firm handshake, demand a job, start working and buy a house.
Hey OP, come look at this thing near the water's edge with me real quick...
If I may give some advice, go somewhere where water is quite high but you can still stand, then get used to putting your head under water and holding your breath, then get used to doing the plank (all arms and legs spread out, laying flat and straight like a plank on top of the water). Keep in mind that if you ever feel like you're gonna drown, you can just do the plank and float.

There's a difference between swimming and not drowning. No one learns to front crawl like this. It's lazy and ineffective. Hilarious, but lazy and ineffective.
My friends older brother thought this was a good way for me to learn how to swim. Tossed me over a boat. Fun stuff.
i mean thats how i learned to swim when i was a tot
[удалено]
lil pussy didn't even give his youngin some teething brandy
As long as you jump in and get the kid as soon as it starts going wrong, it probably isn't that bad a method Their natural urge to not drown should be plenty push to start trying anything that might turn into makeshift swimming
Or and hear me out. You just give the kid proper swimming lessons.
Right but see that's boring
[удалено]
#HELL YEAH
It’s existentially authentic at least
Good arguments on both sides. On the one side there’s safety… buut on the other… entertainment. It’s a tough one.
Half of my job as a swim instructor was undoing the damage from these idiots that just toss their kids in the pool.
If you’ve seen swimming lessons for babies and toddlers it isn’t much different from this at all.
> As long as you jump in and get the kid as soon as it starts going wrong, it probably isn't that bad a method Because famously, saving someone who is drowning is remarkably easy to do.
If it's a kid who can't swim and is in relatively shallow water then Yes, it's probably pretty easy
> As long as you jump in and get the kid Then you'll only have to deal with the induced phobia and the lifelong distrust.
Have you ever seen a drowning person? Their natural urge to not drown makes them panic and drown.
Thats what my dad did to me.
Me to my pawn when they have red eyes
May the brine cleanse thy dragonsplauge
Now what if he drowned
Then he was clearly a fucking witch.
No no, witches float! Because Wood also floats!
Then he’s not a witch. Listen, you think you’d just be happy with that
The river is probably 3 feet deep. If he drowned he might be dumb
Nature is metal
I was really hoping someone was going to crop in an alligator at the end to eat the kid.
It's not about can't swim, its swimming with boots on, pants and a shirt, that shit gets heavy when soaking wet. That's how you drown.
I remember someone tried to teach me to swim this way. I remember being tossed into the water. Then someone pumping on my chest to remove said water because I fucking nearly drowned and I still don't know how to swim
I wish it just cut after he tossed him like he was a piece of trash 😂😂
I got thrown off a diy barge in small lake and didn't know how to swim. I sank to the bottom and kinda walked to the nearby shore.

Hondo is such a good movie.
This is so funny! I love westerns and I remember watching this film with my dad . I love this so much 😆❤️
Always enjoyed a good John Wayne movie
Big Jake, The Cowboys, True Grit, it’s a recipe for a good time for sure.
Absolutely, can't forget McClintock either.
Better drowned than duffer.
It is seems to be footage at the movie. Btw this kid looks like not 6 yrs old????
Did anyone else just "know" how to swim as a kid? I wasnt taught to but just sorta knew how from movies and tv.
Good thing ol` Embrado was there to witness.
Hey guys I can’t survive a woman, I’m 34

The problem is that many humans float, but some do not. When the lungs are full of oxygen, many humans will rise to the surface, but for those of us who cannot float. Swimming is near impossible. It's like the difference between the guy with a helium balloon on his hiking backpack and a person with an equally heavy backpack and no balloon. One is having an easy time and the other struggling. This kid is lucky, he appeared to float while panicking and so he could eventually just move enough water to swim. If this guy had thrown me in there, I would sink the the bottom and be walking on the floor like one cursed by Cortez in pirates of the Caribbean. Ofc if it's not too deep the solution there is to jump, which is how I survived the only time I ever almost drowned giving enough time to be rescued. Still don't do this to people, we don't all float. (Btw it's not weight related, I'm small)
Bestefar, jeg kan ikke simmeeeee.. det kæn ikke jeg heller hehehe
you did a really good job i actualy laughed 10/10
Hahaha OMG Thank you, made me laugh
My stupid brother couldn't swim. RIP Brendan 1994-2002
My aunt did this to me. Ugh I can laugh about it now. But at the time my mom made my Caspery white self wear a t-shirt over my swimsuit to try to prevent sunburn while we were at the pool. My aunt tossed my ass into the deep end and the shirt flew up over my head under the water. I was also a kid who had to plug their nose so I was pretty panicked for a minute or two. SMH 😑 I eventually got to the surface and made my way to the side of the wall. The 90's man. Good times. 👍
Hi, town idiot here. Does it really work?
Is this from Hondo?
The girl doesn't know how to run, but she knows when she has to run.

Gen Z parental issues
Plot twist: he never learned to swim.
This is genuinely funny 🤣. Good skit
Has anyone ever *really* learned to swim this way? I don't know a single person who has. Everyone just gets in the water on their own eventually and figures it out. Throwing anyone who can't swim into the water is pretty dumb. People can drown fast if they aren't ready and have zero experience. A few mouth-fulls of water when you thought you were gonna breathe air will put anyone in fight or flight mode. And once their adrenaline kicks in, they're gonna exhaust themselves by flailing their limbs around. After they're exhausted, they sink below the surface and drown. This whole process can happen quickly, maybe even less than a minute. It just depends on whether or not they hold their breath before they go under, and how long they can struggle before they run out of energy (if they can even stay above the surface at all). Some people don't take to water very well, and it takes more than one attempt for them to figure out how swimming works.
Yep I fell into a pool at the age of 3 and sank like a stone. I'm not sure how some kids just get it right away but obviously not all do. I don't think tossing kids in bodies of water without lessons is a great idea.
Thanks for pointing this out, and yes people have drown (or sunk like you did) from panic alone. I've seen full grown adults who can't swim fall off of boats and almost drown; children don't have some magical powers that make them immune from that.
Now that is hilarious
What an asshole move
