Despite being posted two weeks ago, people continue to watch and comment on the video taken at the baby’s swim class.

“It’s strange to see it explode like this,” Emilía told Vísir.is, “but of course we parents know how sweet and hardworking she is, but it’s nice to see what the rest of the world thinks too.”
