Meyer filmed the video on Saturday at the Little Fins Swim School where she has long taken her two boys for classes. She knows the clip is controversial and shocking to many people. “A lot of people are seeing a kid being thrown into the water and thinking, That’s not good! You shouldn’t be doing that!” she said. “I’ve gotten death threats. I’ve had people tell me I’m the worst kind of mom, that I’m endangering my children, that I’m traumatizing them.”
But Meyer wants people to know that her swim class is not an average one. And thus, this is what is called an infant’s survival class. They aim to teach the infants how to swim, but to get them comfortable in the water, to learn how to recover and flip over if they fall in, and to float on their backs.
