As a sport that babies are already familiar with in the fetal period, infant swimming naturally has innate advantages in learning efficiency. Experiments show that after training babies to swim, their breath-holding instinct can be maintained for a long time, and they will not hold their breath in the water or choke on it. When they grow up, their ability to hold their breath in diving will be much better than that of untrained babies. The sooner a child touches water, the better. Can help the baby get rid of the fear of water as soon as possible, promote the development of the baby's whole body muscles, and strengthen the coordination of limbs and trunk. At the same time, mastering one more skill will also make the baby feel proud when contacting other children in the future (although utilitarian, it can really help children build their self-confidence as soon as possible), so that the baby can take a step ahead in the road of growth.
In the process of learning to swim, some purposeful parents often cling to the result of letting their children "learn to swim". Actually, this is very incorrect. Babies in infancy are not suitable for high-intensity training because of physical fitness and other reasons. Their courses should basically focus on splashing water, gradually cultivate children's interest in swimming, and let children master the ability to learn knowledge as soon as possible through this process. This is the most important meaning of baby swimming. The so-called "Spartan-style" crash training course, which is claimed to be a training to cultivate children's psychology of not being afraid of water, is often just some seemingly "strict" but reckless behaviors, which can easily lead to children's discomfort and conflict and cause serious adverse effects.
Baby swimming also provides a platform for the baby to expand communication while studying, making the baby more suitable for group activities, which is of great help to the baby's integration into collective education modes such as kindergartens and primary schools in the future. Many babies who are over-constrained by their parents miss the initial stage of character formation because they lack contact with other children for a long time when they are young, and it is easy to appear withdrawn and shy.
These are the benefits and significance that I summarized for you, hoping to bring some help to your parents.
