Parenting blogsite Cafemom.com has a story Monday involving video of a couple of parents taking their children for a swim with sharks while on vacation in the Bahamas.

See below to watch the video

The company that runs the swim-with-shark service has been reportedly doing it without incident for 20 years.

The reef, lemon, and nurse sharks are reportedly low on the aggression scale.

But some question whether the parents were irresponsible when they let their 5-year-old girl swim side by side with the animals.

What do you think?

Is this something you would do with your kids? Or is this irresponsible on some level?
