Baby swimming from 6 months:
Baby swimming is a misleading term because your baby is not yet learning to swim properly. It is rather water gymnastics for parents and child. Babies are allowed to get used to the element of water, try out new ways of getting around and learn to stay afloat with a little help. The buoyancy of the water makes it easier for the muscles, which are not yet as strong, to move. In baby swimming, special exercises are used to train certain reflexes and sequences of movements in order to promote motor development. The joint movements in the water have a positive effect on your baby's motor skills and body perception and strengthen its sense of balance. A positive additional effect for mum: water gymnastics with child supports physical regression after birth.
