What is the best age for babies to learn swimming?

Although the fetus lives in the amniotic fluid in the mother's womb, it is out of water after birth. If it wants to swim, it needs to find a professional coach to teach it. So, what is the best age for a baby to learn to swim? In fact, there is no standard age for children to learn swimming, but the best age is around four years old. Learning it is beneficial to the healthy development of the baby. Swimming has obvious effects on increasing resistance and growing height.

1. When is the best time for babies to start learning to swim?

It is ideal to start learning at the age of 4, complete the teaching stage in 3 months and then enter the training stage. However, it is okay if the child is already a teenager. Russian swimming star Popov started swimming at the age of 13, but still became a world record holder. The key is to arrange time for study, rest and training. Many excellent children have done it, and I believe your baby can do it too.

2. What to learn

1. Conventional training: including technical training, energy training, and muscle training;

2. Knowledge about training: how to arrange training cycles and training plans, and knowledge about physiology and training related to swimming.

3. Things to note when your baby learns to swim

1. Safety first. There must be a swimming coach or a parent or teacher who can swim to provide protection. There must be a step-by-step learning plan that suits the child's characteristics to make the child interested in swimming. This will drive the purpose of exercise.

.

2. Children should do some warm-up exercises before going into the water, such as moving their limbs, imitating some swimming movements, and wiping their bodies with cold water to adapt to the water temperature.

3. The time spent in the water should not be too long. If you find that the child feels unwell, take the child ashore immediately to avoid accidents.

4. Choose the time period for swimming and precautions

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.
