What are the benefits?
Babies less than a year old accept the water more readily than older children.Early mastery of water movements gives children a head start in learning basic swimming skills.Babies can exercise more muscles in the water because they are less restricted by gravity and their ability to sit or stand. The increased strength often helps with physical skills like walking.Water helps improve co-ordination and balance by forcing babies to move bilaterally to maintain their equilibrium.Warm water combined with gentle exercise relaxes and stimulates babies’ appetites. They usually eat and sleep better on swimming days.
