Tackling fears - belly first!

Described by his parents as having "a very high tolerance for pain," 2-year-old Deacon is getting an abundance of online attention after being recorded making his own rules at a North Carolina pool.

Though Corina, the child's mother, does her best to exhibit the proper form for her little swimmers, it's almost immediately clear that the boys will need additional practice. Perhaps seeing that his older brother could not even master the technique, Deacon throws caution to the wind and and belly flops right in (with no sign of the usual stinging sensation afterward).

Hey, you get in the water either way!
