Watch two
videos I found in youtube with babies diving and swimming underwater. Babies
(and their instructors) rely on ‘gag’ reflex to keep them safe from drowning. This early
reflex is a contraction or spasm of the glottis and the epiglottis evoked
by something touching the soft palate thus allowing only something to
be swallowed, helping prevent choking. In baby swimming babies and
instructors rely on this reflex a great deal until the baby can learn to hold
their breath or close their mouth when submerging their face.
