Baby swimming has a good role in promoting the baby’s physiological and physical development. More parents hope that their babies will insist on baby swimming since childhood.
However, the temperature in winter is cold and dry, and infants and young children are weak and vulnerable to infection. Special treatment is needed when swimming in winter. The following editor will give you some precautions for infant swimming in winter:
1 Choose the right swimming ring
The baby swimming ring is an important tool to assist the baby in water sports. Parents should choose the right swimming ring for the baby according to the baby’s actual age and weight.
Under normal circumstances, the use of collars is recommended for babies under half a year old; lying rings can be used for those over half a year old; underarm rings can be used for over one year old; seat rings can be used for over two years old; arm rings can only be used for over three years old.
2 Do passive exercises before swimming
It is not unfounded that passive exercises before swimming are commonly used by infants in swimming pools. Parents must not ignore the role of passive exercises before swimming. Baby doing passive exercises before swimming can not only promote the baby’s nervous system and promote the baby’s physical development.
Moreover, passive exercises before swimming can also help the baby warm up, achieve the effect of blood circulation, can prevent the baby from cramping during swimming and avoid accidents.
3 Strictly control the water temperature and room temperature
Due to the low temperature in winter, parents must first confirm the water temperature and room temperature with the baby swimming pool before swimming with the baby to see if it is suitable for the baby to swim.
Generally speaking, the water temperature of the baby swimming pool in winter is 38 degrees and the room temperature is about 28 degrees. Such a temperature can not only ensure the comfort of swimming, but also prevent the baby from catching a cold due to low water temperature or room temperature.
4 Pay attention to swimming time
Some parents may think that it is okay for the baby to swim in warm water for a while in the cold winter. However, the longer the baby swims, the better.
Because staying in the water for a long time will increase the chance of baby’s skin infection, so baby should not swim for too long. Generally, it is best to control it at about 10-15 minutes.
5 Pay attention to baby care after swimming
The temperature is dry in winter, especially during the March and 9th season. After the baby is swimming, be sure to wipe off the moisture on the baby in time and keep warm to prevent the baby from catching cold.
Although the temperature in the baby swimming pool is not low, it is necessary to know that there is still a big gap between the water temperature and the room temperature, and because the water evaporates and absorbs heat, it is easy to cause the baby to catch cold. Therefore, the baby should be taken care of in time after swimming.
