Goals of swimming with babies

When considering the goals of swimming with babies, we should always keep in mind that children enjoy being able to move freely in the water, being in contact with their parents, communicating with other babies and having new experiences.

From this point of view, it is important how parents react to their children’s actions; this is a moment when the contact between parents and baby can be intensified, parents can offer them help, attention, a lot of patience and, above all, praise for their efforts.
Babies really enjoy these moments in the water with their parents. It is a shared space of experimentation for parents and children: helping and being helped. The child and the mother or father come into physical contact with each other.
During swimming lessons you will also meet other parents and babies and together you can enjoy the pleasant environment of warm water.
But there should be no false ambition: It’s not about taking a swimming course to get a diploma.
It is very important to make the most of the opportunities for movement that the water offers babies, and at the same time to exploit the developmental and contact potential of the water.
Usefulness and importance of baby swimming Baby swimming is both an education for parents, as it gives them the opportunity to maintain an intense contact with their child, and an opportunity to actively contribute to the overall development of their child.
