Tiger Woods' ex-coach backs controversial infant swimming technique
Tiger Woods' former coach, Hank Haney, recently shared his thoughts on the controversial Infant Swimming Resource. It is a nationally recognized program that offers survival swimming lessons to infants and young children. Haney recently reposted a video on X in which a parent attempted to teach their child how to swim.
Hank Haney claimed that this was excellent for parents to teach their kids. He even stated that it is amazing how a child can learn to swim with such great technique. His message to X read:
"Greatest piece of mind a parent could have is to have their child learn ISR, it’s amazing"
Fans had positive reactions to this comment made by Hank Haney. One of them even shared how they taught their kid the same thing. They stated:
"💯 just hard to watch the training that leads up to that:)). All of my children have done it,,, and it’s amazing :)"
On the other hand, one of the fans compared this skill being taught to a kid as equivalent of buying a car. Their comment read:
"It’s the equivalent to owning a Tesla"
The ISR technique is criticized by many for supposedly causing distress in children, making it controversial.
Meanwhile, Haney's tenure with Tiger Woods ended on a bitter note. At that time, Woods' injuries piled up, and his personal life began to unravel.
In 2010, they officially split, with Haney claiming that it was his decision to step down to allow Tiger to work through some issues. After they parted ways, Hank released his controversial book "The Big Miss" in 2012. The book gave the fans a peek into Tiger Woods' personal life, which the golfer hated.
