Benefits of baby swimming

Benefit 1: Make children smarter

Swimming can effectively promote the development of children's brain and nervous system, stimulate children's potential, and lay a good foundation for improving children's emotional intelligence and IQ. Since the swimming movements of infants and young children are relatively complex, swimming exercises can improve the function of children's brains and promote the brain's ability to respond to the external environment and intellectual development.

Benefit 2: Stabilize children's emotions

When swimming, the massage effect of water can soothe the body and mind of children, and they will feel comfortable and relaxed. It can also eliminate children's loneliness, anxiety, fear and other emotions.

In addition, swimming is conducive to helping children develop regular sleeping habits. In addition, it is also very helpful to cultivate children's cheerful and lively personality.

Benefit 3: Make children's hearts stronger

Swimming increases the oxygen consumption of the muscles of the whole body of infants, and the pressure of water on the peripheral veins effectively promotes blood circulation and improves the heart function of infants.

Swimming is a whole-body exercise, and infants can move their limbs freely in the water, which is conducive to the development of the flexibility and toughness of the skeletal system. In addition, when swimming, the body of the child is horizontal in the water, and the joints of the limbs and the spine will not be directly impacted by the reaction of the ground during movement, so swimming is a good opportunity to correct bad postures caused by various reasons.
