Things to note when your baby is swimming at home

For babies between 3 days old and 1 year old, many parents have already started training their babies to swim. So what are the things to pay attention to when swimming at home?

The following four tips require parents to pay more attention.

One is the equipment problem. If you want to travel at home at a low price, you must choose a well-known brand with high recognition. When plastic products come into contact with high-temperature water, they undergo a process of aging and gradual release of toxic substances, which should also be taken seriously.

1. Choose a soft-wall swimming pool

When babies swim, it is best not to use hard-walled swimming pools. Nowadays, wholesale malls sell inflatable swimming pools, which can prevent older babies from accidental injuries when swimming.

2. The model of the swimming ring must match the baby.

The inner diameter of the swimming ring should be greater than or equal to the baby's neck diameter. When the baby grows to a certain stage, the swimming ring should be replaced with a different model and size. When putting the ring on your baby, two people are needed to do it and the movements should be gentle. After putting on the swimming ring, you should check whether the baby's lower jaw is supported in the preset position, the chin should be placed in its groove, and slowly enter the water.

The second is the water problem.

3. Keep the water temperature consistent

When filling the swimming pool, make sure the water temperature is consistent at the top and bottom of the pool. The water temperature should be kept at 36°C-37°C . You can buy a water thermometer to measure it at any time.

4. The water depth should be the same as the baby's height

The depth of the swimming pool depends on the height of the baby, and the standard is that the baby's feet do not touch the bottom of the pool when swimming.

The third is the issue of scientific guidance of infant swimming. Baby swimming is not just about putting the baby in the bathtub. There should be a scientific guidance process to help the baby develop the correct swimming posture and swimming skills. This requires professional guidance, and general baby swimming shops are not professional.

5. Give your baby initiative when swimming

When the baby is swimming, the mother and baby should be kept within an arm's length of safe monitoring distance. Mothers cannot use the swimming ring to move the baby in the pool. They can only hold the baby's hand to move the baby in the water. When babies over 3 months old are swimming, mothers should try to avoid the babies pushing their legs forward against the pool wall when they are swimming happily, causing the body to fall backward.

6. Swimming time should be within 20 minutes

Generally speaking, it is more appropriate for babies to swim within 15-20 minutes. The frequency of swimming is about once a week. The room temperature when swimming at home is also very important. It should be controlled at 28°C in winter and 26°C in summer, otherwise the baby will easily catch a cold. In addition, the swimming pool should be disinfected regularly.

Fourth, there are professional requirements for room temperature, disinfection, touch, etc., and if they are not handled properly, it will not be good.
