To C. Besendorfer: This is Seth Casteel, the author of the book. Thanks so much for your comments. This book was indeed created to promote the importance of infant swimming lessons and the associated benefits. If you'll turn to the front of the book, you will find my introduction that does discuss this, and also the alarming statistics about drowning accidents involving children. I did not include step-by-step instructions about infant swimming because there are a variety of types of swimming schools and methodologies to choose from. I am simply encouraging parents to consider swimming lessons, but not advising which program is best for them and their baby. I'm not a swim instructor - just a photographer trying to help promote the cause. :)

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

Underwater Babies is an adorable, stunning, and joyful book that also promotes an important topic - water safety! Seth Casteel has once again maxed out the cute-o-meter with his photography and these babies bringing millions of smiles to the world! Love it!!!!

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.

Got this calendar for work (I work in a baby intensive care unit). It's a large calendar perfect for the doctors to write down who is on call which day. The pictures are adorable too! Best part is I got it for only $4!!

This is such a cute book filled with so many smiling adorable babies! I love that it also has a message to promote water safety! My daughter has been in swim classes since 4 months old and it is great to get the message out about how important it is to teach young babies/toddler how to swim! The pictures are amazing and it is a great book to flip through and bring a smile to your day!

This book is an adorable way to bring light to the importance of water safety for the little people in our lives. Thanks to Seth Casteel for using his talent for such a great cause. This book is the perfect gift for a new mom.

Love this book and what Seth has captured here, his vision and creative talent are what set this book apart. As a parent whose baby has participated in swim lessons, it's interesting to see little ones faces captured during these brief moments. Something most parents don't usually get to see. Love the attention this book brings to a bigger issue, which is pool/water safety.
