Baby Learns To Swim As Bodie Miller, Wife, Share Lessons Learned

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA — Bodie and Morgan Miller's son, Easton, was born 4-months after the drowning death of their daughter Emmy. Now, the couple is doing all they can to share the importance of water safety with the world by sharing a video of 6-month-old Easton learning how to float on his back in the pool.

"I cried tears of hope watching my baby boy learn this lifesaving skill and then tears of sadness knowing it was all I needed to do to keep my baby girl here," Morgan Miller wrote on an Instagram post.

This week, they released video footage of young Nash getting a refresher course in the water, learning a technique taught by Infant Swim Rescue.

"The rollback to a float to breathe is effortless while offering rest," Orange County Waterbabies says of the lesson. Taught to infants from 6-months to 12-months of age, babies can learn to roll back, float, rest and even call for help. It is the first step toward learning water safety, they say.

The technique of learning to float on their back could be the difference between life and death, according to experts, but is still no substitute for a water watcher, pool fences and door alarms, according to Orange County Fire Authority.

Out of one family's heartbreak, lessons can be learned to save countless others and spare the same fate.
