Footage of a baby being taught to float by being tipped head-first into a swimming pool has been shared online, with my parents expressing shock at the "survival" technique.
Roxanne Turner, a mother from Perth, shared the video to her Facebook account.
Her 9-month-old son Max has been learning to swim at the Kids Aquatic Survival School and can be seen in the video going into the water head-first, under supervision of swimming instructor Daria.
Max struggles for a few seconds but eventually flips himself over on to his back and can then be seen floating in the pool.
