Every now and then invite your child to swim. Although for a baby is still not an issue. Even newborn babies just will not sink if put in water.
A study of Melbourne, Australia, has shown that the IQ of children who are taught to swim as a baby will be higher than children who are not taught to swim or if taught after the age of 5 years. Children’s IQ was measured at the time they are 10 years old. Not only the development of IQ, but growth will increase the physical, emotional and social development will be even better.
Another study also showed that babies are taught to swim more easily than adults because babies have never had the X factor such danger. Isn’t the baby does not understand the danger? Babies are also very fond of water so the baby will like it if asked to swim.
Newborns at the age of 3 months can go directly into the water without fear of drowning; this is because at this age infants have a very useful stepping reflex to swim. So if you put a baby under 3 months of age in the water so the baby will automatically be to move their legs like a paddle dog that will make your baby will not drown. It could be argued that at the age of infants less than 3 months was able to swim with a primitive style.
If the baby has grown does not mean that the baby could not swim anymore, but the reflexes that have disappeared. But he still can perform swimming movements, although the movement was disheveled, because there are forces of gravity and she felt pressured from below the water so it can float. Since being the mother’s abdomen, the baby actually had to swim in amniotic fluid for 9 months.
After birth, the swimming ability can be improved. Medically invites baby to swim will not cause problems because it is a natural process, so there’s no reason not hesitate to invite your baby to swim.
Things to consider when the baby swimming is a sense of security and indeed there should be safety. So here is parents need to accompany the baby. If parents with infants alike into the water and swim; baby will feel safe and baby can feel the response from their parents.
