Infants
With such a tiny bit, swimming can only be done after the umbilical cord has healed. One of the main requirements is the presence of a large bath. Swim small children, both on the tummy, and on the back, with great pleasure.
The complex consists of two exercises:
- The main thing that will allow a baby to swim on his stomach is to hold the child's head above the surface of the water. In this case, the knobs and legs of the crumbs are free and he actively sorts them.
- If there is an objective to teach a child to swim up face, it is necessary to immerse the baby in the water on his back and hold his body with both hands: one hand under the head, the second under the back.
Year and more
With such children, it is better to start training in the pool or on "calm" water bodies. The essence of the complex of exercises is the same as for babies, but with some differences. When teaching a child to swim on his belly, the adult's hand is placed not under the chin, but under the chest and axillary hollows of the child. In addition, the baby needs to be told about the coordinated movement of the arms and legs.
You can learn how to swim a child, either with special adaptations, or without them. To professional attributes are: board for swimming, fin and nudles.
When training in the pool, children swim, either with them, or with simpler "helpers", for example, armlets.
How to teach children to swim under the water, the question that is the most difficult, but without it you can not escape. As a rule, at first the kid learns to dive and only then begins to swim. To be more comfortable, get your child glasses and tell them that swimming under water is identical to what is happening on the surface, except that you need to hold your breath, like when diving.
So, teach the baby to swim and you will be calm for him when he goes to the camp or to the sea. In addition, swimming is an excellent physical exercise for children of all ages.
