Stupid driver or attempted murder?
Stumble ThisYou just want to jump in and get that baby! Hard to watch, but this baby has been taught to relax and float and wait for help.

"The ISR mission is to get to the next child before that child gets to the water. The reality of infant and child drowning is that, in most cases, it is a preventable tragedy."

The baby is in the water for more than 5 minutes apparently.
Remember we humans consists for a large part of water and as a fetus we developed in a wet environment. So we can (learn to) deal with water from a young age.
No, seriously, my parents put me through a similar program that basically entailed tossing a baby into a pool and letting them naturally turn on their backs.
The reason most older people drown is because of sheer fear, our primitive instincts will always save you if you let them but if a person is terrified then yes they will drown.
How can anyone over the age of 6 not know how to swim? Needless to say, I've always lived near the sea.
I've long wished my parents had tossed me into a pool as a baby. I can barely swim; with great effort I can keep myself afloat for a few minutes; and it took me years to accomplish just that. Had I "learned" to swim before I learned to be afraid, maybe I'd be a great swimmer now.
What, only the rich kids are worth saving?
... time to clean out the pool-trap and bury little Scruffy.
I learned how to swim by this method, it's the flying I never took on to. Countless adults would just throw me into the air, I suspect because they wanted me to learn how to fly. Alas, I failed and continually they had to catch me.
Rottenseed, they were throwing you up into the air, not down off a high ledge? That must be your problem with this flying business.
