Swimming for children!




Swimming is the best way to develop a child physically.

    A very common practice nowadays is the enrollment of children swimming in the first months of life. Every day new school swimming are open offering the practice of this activity for the little ones.
What is certain is that parents enroll their children early on in programs of adaptation to the water waiting for them to learn to swim. However, the benefits of swimming's go far beyond that. The baby, at birth, has no muscular structure capable of doing halt to his feet, that is, can not support its own weight, so that the exercise on land is almost impossible. Swimming becomes therefore the most effective instrument for application in physical education for babies as in water, its limitations are almost non existent.

    We have to remember whether any newborn baby swim. However, if you spend your childhood without having to practice this activity, the infant loses this ability. In the case of babies swimming practice, none of them "forget" how to swim, avoiding the learning time by which all children have to spend at the beginning of adolescence, to relearn how to swim.

    It is also undeniable that swimming is an important social role in the child (living with others) and is actively involved in the psychomotor development and construction of the human body. There is thus an integrative role in the maturation process.

  2. The best time to teach kids how swim is earliest as can possibly be. Lessons are very important, because these provide safety as the child goes about in developing his/her swimming skills. Apart from that, swimming is also one of the best bonding moments between parents and their children.
