An El Cajon mother is outraged after she says a San Diego area swimming instructor was too rough with her two-year-old son during swim lessons. This video was recorded by the toddler's nanny and shows the swimming instructor drop the child under water several times as the toddler cries out. It's a video that Mahshid Wadeea, the child's mother, says haunts her. The video shows her two-year-old son Adam thrown into the water by his swimming instructor after throwing a fit and hitting his teacher as he cries. "I'm distraught. I'm still distraught. I'm still on a state of shock, because we trust him to teach our son how to swim and that's the extent of it, not to drown him. My son is terrified to go into the water," said Wadeea. CBS 8 reached out to instructor John Ruffu, who's seen in the video, he runs ‘Swim2John,' swimming instruction lessons in the San Diego area. Ruffu has nearly 20 years of experience in the business. His program has stellar online reviews. He didn’t want to go on camera, but did provide a statement to CBS 8, in which he says, he never disciplined the child, instead he says dropping the child is a part of his program, saying: "drop drills are a major portion of what we do to prepare the kids. I’m right there the whole time, we do it as a training. And that is what was going on, just a freak coincidence of timing, which happened to coincide with him hitting." Ruffu has been teaching lessons since 2003 and says what’s seen in the video, is nothing out of the ordinary.
