Then the question comes, "How old is a child suitable for learning to swim?" According to the data of American Academy of Pediatrics (APP), most children can be familiar with the water environment from the age of 65,438+0, and begin to learn swimming as one of the means to prevent drowning at the age of 4 or 5. In this process, it is necessary to consider the children's own abilities and wishes, and when they are physically and mentally ready, they can begin to try to learn swimming.
Since you can swim at the age of one, let's take the popular parent-child swimming class as an example to talk about learning to swim! The biggest advantage of parent-child swimming is to reduce the risk of children drowning. Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death of children aged 1-4. Research shows that water survival skills training and swimming courses are helpful to reduce the drowning risk of children aged 1-4. Many parents take their children to swimming classes for this reason. As for other things that promote brain development and improve sensory ability, we don't have to care too much. As for the shortcomings, it can basically be summarized as two points:
1, poor care, the child accidentally drowned;
2. unclean water will increase the risk of infection.
On the first point, I want to emphasize that swimming institutions have the obligation to supervise children, but it is more the responsibility of parents to prevent drowning. Research shows that among the drowning incidents of children under 5 years old, cases related to child abuse or neglect are as high as 7%. Most of the swimming pool drowning incidents that we saw on the news also happened when parents were strictly supervising the use of mobile phones.
