As the weather gets warmer, what should you pay attention to when taking your baby to swim?

Babies are born with the ability to swim. While still in the mother's belly, the baby can already navigate the amniotic fluid. If a newborn is placed prone in a bathtub filled with water, he will subconsciously make his limbs make coordinated swimming-like movements.

As the weather gets warmer, what should you pay attention to when taking your baby to swim?

Pay attention to the personal safety of your children. When taking your children to swim, you must be careful not to spend time swimming in the water while their parents are scrolling on their mobile phones on the shore. Many times, danger occurs suddenly. In addition, if parents have to leave for something, do not leave their children alone in the swimming pool, but ask them to go ashore and leave together.

Try not to take your children to swim in wild waters, such as reservoirs, lakes, ponds, beaches and other places without tourism development. The dangers in the water are often much greater than we think.

It is not recommended to take a baby who is too young to learn to swim too early. For example, babies one or two years old are not suitable for learning to swim too early, as this is potentially dangerous. If you really want to go, try to go into the water with your parents to protect the baby.

Don’t think it’s necessary to prepare for swimming when the weather is hot. You should know that baby swimming itself is an orderly, well-positioned and skillful baby water sport, which is divided into passive swimming and autonomous swimming. Doing passive exercises and preparation before swimming can help your baby adapt to the underwater environment faster, reduce risks, and ensure better exercise effects.

For children’s swimming pools, the water temperature and room temperature are still higher than those for adults. The temperature of the children's swimming pool should not be lower than 30 degrees Celsius, and different age groups have different water temperature requirements for children.

It is not recommended to take children to the gym swimming pool. This is not discrimination, it’s just that the gym space is relatively closed. It is recommended that you take your children to the outdoor swimming pool. Of course, the premise is to ensure water quality, hygiene and safety.

Rinse your baby promptly after swimming. If necessary, use lotion according to skin condition.

When parents and children go to the swimming pool for the first time, they should prepare swimming suits, swimming caps, and glasses for their children. In addition, babies with fragile skin should prepare moisturizer and sunscreen.
