In order to reduce the cost, some early education institutions have not built special infant swimming pools according to the characteristics of infants, or even qualified infant swimming pools and infant swimming equipment. They simply put a swimming collar on the baby and let the baby float in a bigger bathtub, which can't play the role of parent-child swimming at all, or rented an adult swimming pool, regardless of whether its water temperature, circulation and disinfection system are suitable for the baby's physiological needs and whether it will bring harm to the baby, they began to teach the baby to swim. These practices are not desirable and harmful to the baby.
Swimming with a neck ring will damage the baby's spinal nervous system.
Babies swimming with collars are likely to hurt the spinal nervous system. The baby's whole body bones are not mature, let alone the fragile neck. Imagine what would happen if you put an adult's neck into the water. Babies have to rely on it to support the whole body's weight and jump in the water, even if the water is lighter!
Parents, please note that if these so-called baby swims in the form of collars, or if they don't have the qualification of a professional baby swimming pool, it will not only do no good to the baby's growth and development, but may cause skin allergies, spinal injury, asthma and other symptoms, and even leave health hazards for years or even decades!
A baby swimming in a collar costs tens of dollars, a little water and a little labor, and there is almost no cost. It can be said to be a profiteering industry. No wonder it is becoming more and more popular in China.
But merchants only know the benefits of publicity, but they don't mention the harm at all. Through search, I found that almost no foreign countries put swimming traps around children's necks and put them in small barrels, which is not only uncomfortable to look at, but also a huge hidden danger to children's health.
Many countries prohibit the sale of neck swimming rings. Collar swimming rings are not sold in the United States, because the US Constitution attaches great importance to the care and supervision of infants and young children, and all utensils and food that may cause harm to children must undergo strict inspection and testing.
If the children are older, the reasonable way to swim is for adults to accompany the children, and adults to hold the children, be close, protect, be free and relax.
