Paulina Gretzky married Dustin Johnson earlier this year. However, the couple had been engaged for nearly a decade before they tied the knot. During their long engagement, Paulina gave birth to two sons. Last year, the eldest daughter of Wayne Gretzky appeared on a podcast and told the shocking tale of how she taught her sons to swim.

The NHL legend’s daughter may have also employed her shocking method on two occasions. Paulina was the much-awaited guest and she spilled the beans on her unique yet terrifying method of teaching swimming.

The eldest daughter of Wayne Gretzky may not be the best teacher

In 2021, Paulina Gretzky appeared on the “Pillows and Beer” podcast. The hosts, Craig Conover and Austen Kroll, had been trying to get Paulina on the show for a while. During their conversation, the trio went off-topic, and Paulina revealed how she taught her kids to swim. “I just tossed them into the pool. That’s how they learned to swim,” said Paulina.

While her statement startled the hosts, Paulina also mentioned when she did it. “My kids were, like, literally three months old. I mean, not three months, maybe about a year,” Paulina told Craig and Austen. However, the two hosts had different reactions. “That’s amazing,” said one host, while another reacted differently. “Jesus! What’s wrong with you?” said the other host jokingly.
