Cool or stupid as hell?

I think they must be REALLY confident in their kid's swimming ability to have nothing in there to help them if they get tired or start drowning other than the edges. Maybe we're looking at a future Olympic swimmer? I don't know, I would at least be in there to ensure that if anything goes wrong I can respond to it immediately rather than filming from near the edge.

The kid is really smart to float on her back when she gets tired or needs air. The pool looks small enough to hop in and be next to her within seconds. Sure, it would be safer to be in the pool with her, but having her swim alone builds confidence. Usually they're holding onto you for dear life.

Besides, it looks like the dad is a nurse and the mom is a lifeguard, so it's not like they wouldn't know what to do if something did happen.
