Title: Buy this book and immediately enroll your kids in swim lessons!
Review: This book is so cute and a great way to bring awareness about the importance of water safety for children. Living in Texas, one of our favorite pastimes is swimming. Since before construction started on our personal pool, my then 8 month old was enrolled in swimming lessons at Emler Swim School. Weekly swim lessons has raised my daughter’s confidence in the water and honed in on her natural ability to swim. Now she is a true little mermaid who loves the water. It’s comforting as a parent to know that if my daughter were to have an accident where she fell into the pool, she is able to hold her breath for at least 10 seconds (and could possibly climb out by herself) which could be the difference in life or death or other serious consequences. Thank you Emler and Seth for bringing attention to this matter and allowing myself and my daughter to be a part of this amazing opportunity! The pictures of these babies are just precious! Congratulations, Seth!Kris and baby Kyndall

Title: Simply Adorable
Review: This book is awesome! As a swimmer myself, I cannot begin to stress the importance of water safety. I love that it highlights it for the youngest swimmers: babies. Although I live in Chicago, I started my son in swimming lessons at 5 months old in spite of the negative comments of those around me. I love that this book encourages others to do so as well. The babies in it are so cute! I have already given this book to several people as a gift.

Title: Excellent Book
Review: I’m a retired professor and have given this book, and earlier versions, to students who are recent parents, some of whom have swimming pools in their homes, or use the communal pools of their complexes. The photography is eye opening and serves to dispel misconceptions about teaching very young children to swim. Here in Florida accidental drowning of toddlers happens almost on a weekly basis, and those heartbreaking incidents can be avoided by educating parents, grandparents, care-givers- seeing a book such as this is only the very first step. I hope to purchase another very soon.

Title: A great gift for the very oldest or very youngest in your life
Review: My 80-yr old father LOVES this book. He’s the man who doesn’t care to see pictures of his great-grandchildren because “all babies look alike,” but had me buy as many copies as I could so he could send them to friends and family. I’m not as enamored with it as the over-70 crowd seems to be. Toddlers love looking at it, too.

Title: Who doesn’t love looking at cute babies
Review: We purchased this book because our little one was going to be in it. I’m amazed at how awesome all the photos turned out. I love the use of props in some of the photos and these kids just all did such an awesome job. We are also happy that this book brings awareness to water safety because the leading cause of accidental death for children under age 5 is drowning. If you are looking for a “how-to” book on baby swimming, this is not the book you are looking for. This is a book of photos that showcase children underwater and I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love looking at cute babies. Thanks again Seth for having our little one in your book, this is something we’ll always cherish.

Title: Seeing how those babies react to being underwater is amazing to me
Review: One cannot resist looking at “Underwater Babies” again and again. Being a non-swimmer I can only wish I had the chance to change and actually get my head underwater without having a panic attack. Seeing how those babies react to being underwater is amazing to me. Their eyes are wide open and some are even smiling – such great photography and such a great message being published. Living in New Orleans with so much water around us your book gives incentive to get children as young as these babies into the water and follow up with a lifetime of enjoying being a swimmer.

Title: Underwater Babies
Review: Each and every snapshot is filled with smiles and whimsy. My only problem is Mr Casteel said he created this book to show the process of teaching babies to swim, then he left that part out. Too bad, really. He could have created a great introduction to baby swimming schools.
