How long does it take for a baby to swim?

In our impression, it seems incredible for babies to swim, because even many adults cannot swim. Parents are also worried about their babies’ swimming. Will there be any danger for their children when they swim? How does it help children? How soon can a baby start swimming? With these questions, let us find out through the following.

Notes on baby swimming: room temperature and water temperature requirements:

The room temperature is around 28C and the water temperature is around 38C (in summer, the room temperature can be 24 degrees and the water temperature can be between 34-36 degrees). Especially for babies under 3 months old, if the room temperature and water temperature do not meet the requirements, it is easy for the baby to catch a cold.

Environmental requirements: During the entire process of baby swimming, the surrounding environment will form a complete stimulation to the baby's brain. Don't mistakenly think that the baby is small and doesn't understand anything. In fact, the baby understands everything, but just can't express it in words yet. It is required that the baby's swimming environment be surrounded by colorful pictures and some children's songs be played to help the baby relax physically and mentally.

Swimming time: The baby's swimming time is generally about 15 minutes. The specific situation depends on the baby's physique and month. The principle is that the baby can swim happily in the water without feeling tired.

Note: When filling the swimming bucket with water, it is best to adjust the water temperature to around 38 degrees (in summer, the room temperature can be 24 degrees and the water temperature can be between 34-36 degrees). If you put in hot and cold water separately, please stir them by hand to ensure that the water temperature in the upper and lower parts of the swimming bucket is consistent. The depth of the water in the swimming bucket depends on the baby's height. The principle is that the baby's feet do not touch the bottom of the bucket when swimming. Small floating and sound-making toys are placed in the swimming bucket for the baby to play with while swimming. Pay attention to whether the model of the swimming ring matches the baby, and be gentle when putting the ring on the baby. While the baby is swimming, the mother should communicate with the baby effectively, sing nursery rhymes to the baby, encourage the baby to spin in circles in the pool, and use small toys to make the baby smile. Every time your baby finishes swimming, praise him or her and give him or her sincere caress.

Through the above introduction, do you know how long it takes for your baby to be able to swim? It turns out that there are many benefits of swimming for babies. Swimming can help the baby's intellectual development. It is a good health care activity for the baby and is also one of the effective measures to develop IQ and EQ. Although swimming is beneficial for babies, you should always pay attention to your baby and also be careful not to swim for too long.
