Things to note when your child is swimming:

⑴ Children must be accompanied by their parents when swimming, and according to the children's water ability, age, height and other factors, try to choose a water level area with a higher safety factor for swimming. There must also be a step-by-step learning plan that suits the child's characteristics so that the child can develop an interest in swimming, thus achieving the purpose of exercise.

⑵ Before swimming, be sure to educate your children to develop the habit of doing warm-up exercises first, moving their limbs, and wiping their bodies with cold water to adapt to the water temperature.

⑶ Children have limited physical strength, so they should not stay in the water for too long. When they feel tired or uncomfortable, they should be taken ashore immediately to avoid accidents.

⑷ Children should not eat too much food before going into the water. Once food is pressed into the trachea, it can easily cause suffocation. In order to replenish their children's physical strength, parents can choose to give their children an appropriate amount of food half an hour before swimming so that they are not hungry or full.

⑸ Children should not enter the pool immediately when they are sweating profusely. They should first wipe off the sweat with a dry towel and wait until their pores shrink before entering the pool.

⑹ The swimsuit, swimming cap, etc. should be suitable, and do not choose a swimming cap or swimsuit that requires the rope to be tied to the neck to avoid accidents. You can also buy a pair of earplugs for your child to prevent otitis media caused by water ingress.

⑺ After swimming, you can rinse your eyes with saline or use special eye drops to protect your eye health.

⑻ Be sure to clean your body after swimming to avoid chemicals in the swimming pool water remaining on the skin and causing skin allergies. At the same time, to avoid the erosion of teeth by bleach in swimming pool water, you can brush your teeth or rinse your mouth immediately after swimming.

⑼ Children should not swim within 1 to 2 weeks after recovering from a cold.

Although swimming has many benefits for children, safety must be the premise. Choose a better swimming pool and avoid swimming in informal places. It is also best to have someone to accompany you. Don’t swim for too long. If you do, the child may become tired, which will have a greater impact on the child. Prepare some water so that they can replenish it at any time.
