The sad thing is, there's a pretty good chance that if this aunt keeps trying to teach her nephew to swim, his parents are going to ban her from being alone with him, and that's a shame. Learning how to swim is one of the most important life skills you can develop before you reach 1st grade, and the fact that his parents are robbing him of that is extremely unfortunate. If I were his parents, I would've put him in a swimming class the day after the original incident, so nothing like that would ever happen again, but it's understandable that they would be too anxious to do so immediately afterwards.
If you've ever seen those videos of parents pushing their fully-clothed toddlers into the pool and waiting for them to float, they might make you feel uncomfortable. Those are simulations that swimming teachers do when teaching babies the basics of swimming for survival, and if this boy's parents had done that for him before this incident, things might have turned out differently. But they can't turn back time, so the best thing they can do now is entrust their son's swimming education to a family member they trust, because they're clearly too neurotic to handle it themselves. Unfortunately, that's probably not going to happen, and this kid is going to grow up to be a weak swimmer, if he learns how to swim at all. The only way out is through, and his parents would rather avoid the problem than face it.

Am I the bad guy for teaching my nephew how to swim against his parent's wishes?
