As the saying goes: many skills do not bear the burden. Parents want their children to master one more skill from an early age, such as swimming, which can not only promote growth and development, but also enhance resistance. However, learning to swim formally is not as early as possible.
Too young children have hypoplastic bones, and the pressure of swimming pool water is not conducive to bone growth. Moreover, children's incomprehension may also lead to danger. It is generally recommended to learn to swim after the age of 5. At this time, the child's intelligence and understanding can meet the learning needs, and the flexibility of body joints can also meet his swimming posture in the water. If you want a child to learn to swim, you must first eliminate his fear of water. Parents can take him to the children's swimming pool to get familiar with and adapt to the water and feel the pleasure of floating in the water. At the age of two or three, parents can teach their children some swimming pool games, let him learn how to swing his arms and kick, and also teach him to hold his breath in the water. Some children don't like to get their faces wet, so their mother can let them try to put their heads under the shower and learn to adapt. All these can prepare for the formal study of swimming after the age of 5.
Swimming requires physical strength, breathing, etc. Regular swimming can make the heart muscle developed, the metabolism vigorous, and the heartbeat slower and stronger than that of peers, which can prepare the conditions for undertaking greater physical load. When swimming, hold your breath for a long time, increase your vital capacity and improve the function of your respiratory system.
However, learning to swim should be gradual, and the time spent in the water should be shorter at first, and gradually increase according to the child's reaction, so don't rush for success.
