Can babies swim well?
Of course. Why not? Swimming for babies has many advantages. For example, swimming is the best way to escape the heat in summer. It refreshes the mind and can also exercise. For babies, swimming is much more than that. ? The complicated swimming movements of babies are all completed under the control of the brain. Swimming can improve the function of the brain and promote the brain's ability to respond to the external environment and intellectual development. ? When swimming, the body is in a horizontal state in the water, and the joints of limbs and spine will not be directly impacted by the reaction force from the ground during exercise. This is not only not easy to damage, but also conducive to the elasticity and flexibility of the skeletal system, better promote the growth and development of bones, and correct bad posture. ?

When swimming, due to the buoyancy of water, the influence of gravity on blood circulation is weakened, which provides favorable conditions for the work of the heart; Water waves can also massage peripheral blood vessels by slapping on the skin. Therefore, swimming can make the heart get better exercise. When swimming, the pressure of water on the chest increases the vital capacity and has a good effect on the development of the chest. ? Water has better thermal conductivity than air. People spend more energy in water than on land. In order to compensate, the digestive system is required to strengthen the digestion and absorption function to absorb a large number of nutrients to meet the needs. This is undoubtedly conducive to promoting the growth of babies. ? Infants who often take part in swimming seldom catch a cold because they have been active in the water since childhood. Studies by Japanese children's swimming researchers have confirmed that the incidence of infants who do not swim is 3-4 times higher than that of infants who practice swimming. In addition, swimming can benefit from sunbathing, which is beneficial to calcification of baby bones and prevention of rickets. ?
