The benefits of baby swimming are unique!!!
It is scientifically proven that infant swimming strengthens children's physique, respiratory capacity, heart function, while improving their posture and body position. They overcome their fears, gain courage and self-confidence, and become more autonomous and social.
It is a constructive time between parent and child and as is well known, children who exercise get sick less!!!
• Many children who take infant swimming lessons are able to swim before they can even walk. As their swimming skills improve, you will also notice improved coordination, increased strength and endurance, and a boost in their respiratory system.
• The earlier the child starts infant swimming, the faster he will develop defenses and skills for his absolute safety in the water.
Gentle and calm exercises in the water will give your child continuous and more restful sleep. Indeed, our parents confess that their babies sleep much better and longer after a comprehensive baby swimming lesson.
• Swimming brings great joy to the lives of toddlers and infants. Children also develop healthier and more dynamic personalities.
• Lessons from an early age help develop self-esteem and independence in the future adult. As a child's ability to move freely in the water increases, so does the child's sense of well-being.
• Parents and children have the opportunity to spend a very productive and enjoyable time together, especially at this age when few activities are appropriate for the infant. This develops stronger bonds between parent and child. Under the right conditions, cohesion increases both in the family and in society in general.
Often this activity is their first experience with peers. This way they learn to socialize and interact with each other, while looking forward to the next meeting. Social skills increase by a large percentage, compared to children who do not participate in similar activities. Children in baby swimming are more social!
• Parents themselves have the opportunity to socialize with other parents and, by extension, to meet people with similar perceptions and common interests. This way, not only the children but also the parents become more socialized.
• Swimming lessons from a young age lay a solid foundation for a life in which the adult will be able to participate in and enjoy a wide variety of water sports, both in and out of the water.
