Why do babies need to learn to swim?

Children are the hope of the future of the motherland. Some parents want their children to be successful, so they start to cultivate their children when they are very young, by sending them to cram schools and interest classes. However, when they are still infants, if conditions permit, it is best to send them to learn swimming. There are so many benefits of learning swimming for babies. The following will introduce to you why babies should learn swimming, and then you should consider whether to learn swimming yourself.

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.

Build babies' sense of security and trust in the new environment, and cultivate their 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.

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.

Improve spatial imagination, reasoning and mathematical abilities

Studies have shown that music can stimulate the development of the forelimbs of the brain in addition to stimulating the development of hearing, thereby promoting communication between the two hemispheres of the brain and accelerating the areas of the brain responsible for and processing high-level intellectual activities such as space, reasoning, language, learning and memory. Jiahe Educational Music is based on this, and has integrated famous Chinese and foreign ancient and modern songs carefully selected by infant experts and music experts into a CD. When it is played simultaneously with the baby's swimming, it can not only make the baby feel comfortable and happy, but also promote communication between the two brains of the baby, achieving unexpected results such as developing intelligence and improving spatial logical thinking ability.

Promote food digestion and absorption, reduce bad sleeping habits

When a baby swims, the constant movement of the body and the impact of water waves make the baby comfortable and relaxed. The baby's cholesterol and insulin levels increase significantly, thereby increasing gastrointestinal motility, helping food digestion and absorption, thereby increasing appetite and more comprehensive absorption of nutrients. In addition, swimming consumes a certain amount of physical strength, so the baby sleeps better after swimming, which is conducive to establishing a regular sleep pattern.

Promotes height and weight growth

Due to the buoyancy of water, babies can easily make large movements in water, such as sliding their arms, stretching and bending their legs, and twisting their waists, to promote faster delivery of nutrients and oxygen in the blood to bones and muscle tissues, promote the increase of growth hormone levels in the body, and thus accelerate the growth of babies.

When the baby involuntarily does whole-body exercise, his arms automatically paddling, like chest expansion exercise, can deepen breathing, increase lung capacity, promote blood circulation, accelerate metabolism, enhance myocardial contraction rate, and play a role in strengthening the body and improving immunity.

How about it? Do you know the benefits of swimming for babies? Babies will learn a lot in the process of learning to swim. Children are still young, so they should have more fun in their childhood and not study under too much pressure. This will also equip children to face future challenges better. Parents should spend more time with their children and be more patient.
