With the recent promotion of the domestic policy on "joining the swimming project in the middle school entrance examination sports", more and more parents have begun to pay attention to the matter of children swimming, and a considerable number of parents have the idea of "waiting for children to learn to swim when they grow up", which is not difficult to understand, the best age for children to learn to swim is between 4-6 years old, but if the importance of infant swimming is ignored, it is a pity.
It is not difficult for us to find that there are more and more infant swimming pools in China, and more and more babies are joining the tide of swimming. We need to clarify a concept, that is, infant swimming mainly refers to 0-3 years old baby swimming, the baby swims more during this golden period of development, which has positive significance for the baby's physical function development, especially swimming can exercise physical, psychological and intellectual aspects, not specifically to learn swimming skills, and infant swimming and children swimming are different in:
First, babies are born with swimming reflexes. Babies in the mother's belly is in the amniotic environment when they grow up, they are born to adapt to water, and the baby is still born with swimming reflexes, put the baby in the water they will make a stroke, pedal leg action, and the swimming reflex will gradually disappear after six months of the baby.
Second, the environment for infant swimming is more professional. Children learn to swim generally go to the public swimming pool, the environment and service of the public pool needless to say, compared with the baby swimming pool has a more professional, safe and clean environment (water temperature, room temperature, supplies, toys, etc.) and services, more suitable for infant groups.
Third, the exercise and stimulation effects of infant swimming. For infants and young children, swimming is more to promote the baby's physical development, the baby in the swimming at the same time, exercise the muscles, bones and joints of the whole body, the baby's blood circulation and metabolism accelerated, the baby's body development is better.
Fourth, improve your baby's digestive capacity and appetite. Swimming can promote the hormone secretion of the baby's gastrointestinal tract, the baby's digestion ability is better, and the baby eats well to better develop.
Fifth, improve your baby's intellectual development and mental health. Swimming is the baby's brain to control the coordination of various parts of the body with exercise, so that the baby's brain nervous system gets more stimulation, the brain develops better, and the baby's learning ability is stronger.
Sixth, infant swimming is better to learn over-regular swimming posture. Although infants and young children swim to exercise the body and promote physical and mental development, but also can better exercise the baby's water, the baby is familiar with the water, play with the water more times, learn the regular swimming posture is easier, easier, faster to get started.
Therefore, the infant period is the golden period of baby development, and baby swimming can be carried out after birth, and it is easy to cultivate the baby's swimming habits, plus swimming on the baby's muscles, bones, joints, brain, nervous system, blood circulation, cardiopulmonary capacity, digestion ability, breathing ability, etc. are exercised, the baby's development will be better.
The last thing to say is that when going to the infant swimming pool, you must choose a professional environment, and it is not recommended that parents operate at home to reduce the risk of the baby's cold, improper use of the swimming ring, bath bully, drowning, etc., and escort the baby's safe and secure swimming.
