What should children pay attention to when swimming?

Swimming can be considered a basic skill, and it is now also very popular as a fitness exercise. More and more parents are willing to let their children practice, hoping to improve their physical fitness. However, there are many things about children's swimming that parents need to pay more attention to. The editor will give detailed explanations one by one below. Let us read the following content to find out.

1. Start learning swimming in the summer when the water temperature is high and children can adapt easily. Parents can first take their children to a 50-80 cm deep doll pool to familiarize themselves with the water. Firstly, the water temperature in the doll pool is relatively higher than that in other pools; secondly, the water is shallow, so children's psychological fear is slightly better.

2. It is not advisable to give food to a child before he enters the pool. When people go into water, the water will produce pressure on the human body. Often, food is pressed out by the water and overflows into the trachea before it enters the child's stomach, causing suffocation. It is recommended to give children something to eat half an hour before swimming so that they are not hungry or full.

3. When choosing a swimming cap, choose one whose rope is not fixed at the neck. When girls wear suspender-style swimming trunks, it is not easy to tie the straps around their necks.

4. Teach your children to look at the markings in the swimming pool to avoid accidentally entering a deep pool. And before entering the pool, lead your children to do warm-up exercises and develop a habit of doing so.

5. When a child is sweating profusely, it is not advisable to enter the pool immediately. He should first wipe off the sweat with a dry towel and wait until the pores shrink before entering the pool.

6. Children should not swim within 1 to 2 weeks after recovering from a cold. You should observe whether the child has chest pain symptoms, as you may have hidden dangers of myocarditis caused by the cold and may get into an accident while swimming. As for the question of how well children learn to swim, can they be considered capable of surviving in water?

Here the editor has finished talking about the precautions for children's swimming. Generally speaking, it is very easy to do, so parents must read it carefully and then strictly require themselves and their children to do it. This will ensure safety and hygiene during swimming and prevent some serious accidents.
