Is it good for infants and young children to swim frequently?

Many people must have heard that babies have a certain ability to swim right after they are born, because they are in the mother's amniotic fluid, so they must be able to swim when they are born. So is this statement correct? Some people will take their babies swimming right after they are born. What are the benefits of swimming for newborn babies?

When infants and young children "swim" in warm water, the buoyancy of the water and the beating of the waves not only massage the peripheral blood vessels of infants and young children, allowing the heart to get better exercise, but also promote the brain's responsiveness to the external environment, stress resistance and intellectual development. Stimulate and promote brain nerve development, significantly improve intelligence level. 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. 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.

Establish 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.

Babies are still relatively young and their ability to swim is actually quite weak. If you want to take your child swimming, the mother must take protective measures, put a prescribed swimming ring on the child, and always watch him. Otherwise, if some unexpected danger occurs to such a young child, it will be very scary.
