Viral video of baby swimming across pool stirs controversy
Read for instance 5News, ZAP2it, KPLCtv and FOX19
Adam Christensen posted this video of his 16-month-old daughter, Elizabeth, on YouTube. She was trained by a professional instructor, and her parents were standing by, but some parents are chiming in, questioning whether it is safe.
Adam BC’s disclaimer with the video:
“Just so everyone knows, I am a registered nurse and my wife was a life guard for six years and taught swimming for three. not only are we both professionally trained in CPR and water safety I am certified in advanced pediatric life support. the child in the video (Elizabeth) has been trained properly by ISR certified instructors.”
Here is the video with CNN comments
Here on CNN is a Dr. Jennifer Caudle weighing in:
“If the child didn’t know how to swim, they weren’t properly trained, clearly this is not a good idea,†Dr. Caudle says. But it’s clear from the video Elizabeth can swim. “I personally would like a parent or guardian to be very very close to that child just in case.â€

And then my five favorite covers, in no particular order
Honorable mention: Misfits Dance Crew‘s performance to ebrahim‘s cover
And there are plenty more on YouTube, I made a playlist tonight and will probably be both adding and maybe even swapping videos with the ones listed here.

Father electrocuted while swimming in Lake Cumberland
Read WKYT.com
Kevin Short died Sunday in what officials simply describe as a tragic, freak accident. He was swimming with others near Garland Bend on Lake Cumberland when an exposed cord came too close to an aluminum ladder.
“What happened was the cord went in between the ladder and the dock, it had a raw space,†said Donna Gross, Short’s mother-in-law.
Kevin’s 12-year-old son, Kevin, Jr. was actually swimming toward the ladder when his father grabbed it first.“When he was reaching for the ladder, he pulled his son back by playing, like ‘I’m going to beat you to it,’and so big Kevin grabbed the ladder, that’s when he got electrocuted, so that actually saved little Kevin,†said Gross.

CPR is now simply Hands Only to the beat of ‘Staying Alive’
See for instance the American Heart Association and the British Heart Foundation. We have posted the Vinnie Jones video before, but it is definitely worth a re-share.
And there are other examples
And you know what? - It might even work !
A grandfather who suffered a massive heart attack on a bus has told how he was saved by a Good Samaritan – who performed CPR on him while singing Bee Gees classic ‘Stayin’ Alive’.
Retired taxi boss Terry Holly, 67, slumped to the floor of the double-decker bus in front of horrified passengers as he headed home from seeing his ex-wife.
Sharon Thorneywork realised the father-of-three’s heart had failed and remembered a TV advert telling viewers to administer CPR by pumping the chest in time to the Bee Gees’ song.
