How many months old can a baby swim?

Swimming for infants and young children is an activity with many benefits. Moreover, people with a weak heart tend to want to take their babies swimming as their economic level and thinking improve. After all, swimming promotes the baby's physical and mental development. Moreover, many communities in many cities have swimming areas for children. So at what age can babies swim?

The steps of infant swimming training can be divided into four stages: In the first stage, infants can accept bathtub swimming two or three weeks after birth, so that the infant can continue to lose its natural conditioning through swimming practice; in the second stage, infants of two or three months old can do induced gliding exercises in the water; in the third stage, infants of 3-6 months old can initially learn a specific swimming posture; in the fourth stage, infants of 6 months to 1 year old begin comprehensive swimming training based on the fact that they have learned to hold their breath in water in the previous stage. In addition, it is important to note that babies must be accompanied by their mothers or relatives when swimming, and the water temperature is ideally between 29 and 32 degrees Celsius. At the same time, the baby's diet should be nutritious. In addition to an adequate supply of protein, fat, and sugar, it should also be supplemented with foods rich in vitamins. If you take your baby swimming, you should choose a swimming pool with fewer people, better hygiene, and better safety equipment.
