What should children pay attention to when swimming?

Now more and more parents let their children learn more things, such as playing the piano, drawing, and practicing calligraphy. In summer, many parents like to take their children swimming to exercise their children's physical fitness and relieve the heat at the same time. Even though this is good, children are more susceptible to accidental injuries. So should children swim? What should we pay attention to? Let’s take a look below.

Baby swimming is being taken seriously by more and more parents, but what should be paid more attention to are the precautions for baby swimming. If you take things for granted during the baby's swimming, your baby may get some diseases.

Baby swimming precautions - make adequate preparations before swimming

1. The swimming time should be 40 minutes before feeding, and each swimming time is generally 10 to 30 minutes. The indoor temperature requirements are generally maintained at: Summer: 22 to 24 degrees, Winter: 26 to 28 degrees. The water temperature in the swimming tank is generally required to be maintained at: 37 to 38 degrees in summer, 39 to 40 degrees in winter.

2. Put a waterproof umbilical cord patch on the newborn's navel. Before swimming each time, expose the baby's body, pay attention to the baby's navel and prepare for swimming by massaging and warming up.

Baby swimming precautions - swimming pool requirements

1. Before swimming each time, check whether the swimming tank and neck ring are leaking and whether the inflation degree is appropriate to ensure the safety of the baby's swimming. The depth of the swimming pool water depends on the baby's height, so that the baby is in a suspended state after entering the swimming tank and his feet do not touch the bottom of the swimming tank.

2. When filling the swimming pool with water, the temperature should be controlled evenly. Generally, cold water should be added first, then hot water, and stirred evenly to keep the water temperature consistent above and below the pool. Try to place floating toys with bright colors, different shapes and stimulating sounds in the pool for your baby to play with while swimming.

Baby swimming precautions - what to pay attention to when swimming

1. Put the collar around the baby's neck, and make sure the baby's ears and lower jaw are exposed on the collar, and that the straps are fastened and firmly attached. When putting the baby into the swimming tank, be gentle. After entering the water, let the baby swim freely. Pay attention to changes in the baby's complexion and skin color to ensure the baby's comfort level.

2. When the baby is swimming, be careful to prevent the baby from choking on water or getting water into the mouth and nose or ears. When a baby is swimming, the operator needs to supervise the whole process, and the guardian should keep a certain safe distance from the baby to prevent unexpected accidents.

3. When the baby is swimming, the guardian should communicate with the baby sincerely and encourage and praise the baby from time to time. When swimming, guardians should not just hold the collar to move the baby in the water, but should hold the baby's hands and move the baby slowly. Swimming supplies for home use should be disinfected regularly. The water quality is clean water.

Baby swimming precautions - the work after swimming is more important

1. Please feed your baby 15 to 20 minutes after swimming to relieve the baby's fatigue.

2. After the baby finishes swimming, immediately wipe his whole body dry with a towel, paying attention to the head and face, especially the eyes, ears, nose, navel and other parts. After each use, drain the water in time and brush it clean with clean water. The spare inflatable collar should be inflated properly. When wearing the inflatable collar, the Velcro should be loose enough.

3. After swimming, remove the waterproof umbilical cord patch from the newborn, disinfect the umbilical cord twice with 75% alcohol, and wrap it with a disposable umbilical cord bandage.

Learning to swim is not something that can be achieved overnight, especially for a child, so some parents nowadays should not pursue certain things too much. Parents should first consider their children's feelings, and secondly see whether their children are interested in swimming. If children are not interested, they should never be forced to play. If parents follow the above description, their children will definitely not be hurt while learning to swim.
