What does swimming in your room mean?

As TikTok user @bitmynametitus wrote in the caption to his viral video, his sister was getting yelled at for "swimming in her room." While many assumed that this was slang for something else, and potentially even something disgusting, it was actually much more straightforward than that. His sister wanted to go for a swim in the pool, and when she was told no, she decided to make a swimming pool in her bedroom, meaning that she flooded it.

As you'll see from another pinned video on @bitmynametitus's page, the room was probably filled with at least six inches of water, a genuinely insane feat that would probably have made my mom pretty mad too. So while we don't know whether she had the chance to swim in it, it's clear that what she was trying to do was swim in her room. It wasn't a euphemism for anything at all.

Because the video of the beating and the video of the room are two separate clips, some people are confused until they've seen both. Once you see the video of the room, though, the video of the mother screaming and hitting her child starts to make more sense. Even so, some have argued that that kind of beating constitutes abuse, regardless of what the child did to earn their parents' ire.

TikTok users have a lot of opinions about these videos.

Perhaps unsurprisingly given the extreme content in both videos, TikTok users are voicing their opinions about whether this kind of punishment is acceptable, and also about just how wild it is that this girl really flooded her room.

"I’m back I went to see what swimming in room meant. Now I understand," one person wrote.

"That’s abuse idgaf what any got to say," another person added.

"I get like 3-4 but she kept going. This is angerrr not discipline," another wrote.

Whatever you think of the videos, though, the idea of turning your room into a swimming pool is certainly one of the more extreme things we've ever seen a child do on TikTok.

You've got to wonder how exactly they're going to get all that water out of the house. What's clear, though, is that you probably shouldn't flood your house for any reason, whether your mom will beat you for it or not. It's better for the house if it stays as dry as possible on the inside.
