Swimming for babies made easy



Baby swimming Surrey trainers maintain that babies are born with the natural ability to swim and are perfectly adapted to immersion in water and the ideal age to start a swimming class to a baby is 3 to 12 months and the maximum age is 18 months. Surrey baby swimming programmes develop and or re- introduce natures wonderful gift with lots of fun and encouragement, so that the baby gradually builds up confidence and skills in the water. Start your baby getting used to the water early by introducing him to water play in an inflatable pool with some bath toys at home and wait until the baby is at least a year old before taking them to public pools.

For the baby to get stability floating devices like water wings or inflatable arm bands or floatable rings can help and at the same time the parents can get peace of mind. Before the first trip to the swimming pool, visit the pool to find out if they have facilities for babies, like a separate baby pool, stroller or pushchair access and a place to feed and then take a few of the baby's toys to play with, baby's supplementary food bottle and a nappy bag. Since the baby get used to the swimming pool, make sure that it is at a time where there are a few people since a swimming pool with lots of people may overwhelm the baby.

It is important lesson for babies to learn to blow bubbles and it should be shown to them by putting your mouth under water and blowing since they cant inhale water when they are blowing. Training baby swimming in warm water to ensure that the sensation of both floating and swimming is best understood by the baby is the work of schools specialized in such training and they shoot pictures underwater to show how the baby enjoys it. One may end up saving a life at some time in ones life if one knows swimming and in any case enjoy it otherwise. Specialised schools that teach babies and toddlers to swim have been set up.
