Can babies swim? Is swimming good for babies?

Newborn swimming is a health care activity mainly carried out within one year of age with sufficient safety protection measures. Baby swimming is very popular in today's society. So, is this sport good for babies?

1. Stimulate and promote brain nerve development, significantly improve intelligence level

We know that the brain nerves are connected to the terminal nerves of various parts of the body. Therefore, when the baby performs large and free movements in the water, the various movements are directly controlled and regulated by the nervous system, and the activities of the muscles and joints in turn stimulate the nerves of the cerebral cortex, thereby promoting the rapid development of brain function and making the brain more responsive to movements.

2. Build the baby's sense of security and trust in the new environment, and cultivate self-confidence and adaptability

Babies who grow up in an environment that lacks a sense of security generally lack wit and the ability to express emotions when interacting with others. Therefore, the most important thing for babies' intellectual development is to eliminate their insecurity caused by changes in the environment. Baby swimming recreates the amniotic fluid environment of the uterus, allowing babies to float in weightless water and gradually feel the safety and happiness of being able to stretch their limbs freely in a new environment, so as to help babies adapt to different internal and external environments and build self-confidence and adaptability.

3. Improve the sensitivity of baby's sensory cells and body coordination

When a baby swims, the combined effects of multiple external factors such as water temperature, hydrostatic pressure, buoyancy and wave impact cause a series of benign reactions in the baby's skin, joints, nervous system and endocrine system, which intensifies the stimulation of the baby's sensory systems and promotes the rapid transmission of comprehensive information such as kinesthetic sense, taste, hearing, touch and balance, thereby improving reaction ability and promoting the coordinated cooperation of various organs to complete various movements.
