Small Ikhtiandry. Teach the kids to the pool

Your baby is growing not by days, but by hours. He madly loves to swim, and the water having fun and smiling. But sooner or later the bath it becomes little. It's time to introduce the child to the pool.


It is best if you can find a special institution close to home. Special children's wading pool with a flowing cleaning system is the best option for the novice "swimmer". You can pay for advice and lessons with an instructor who can work with children under three years of age. But if you can't afford themselves become the coach for their child.




First, the child may be frightened of large amounts of water in the pool. Do not rush it. During the first practice walk in the water, tightly embracing and looking at what is happening around.




How to do in the pool? Keep baby is not head (as a baby), and by the handles or legs, face to himself or herself. When you hold it by the legs (thighs), the child can hold onto the handles for the Board or a stick, and can never keep. Do with it ripples in the water, holding it for one, then the other arm in position on the back. If the baby is able to hold on the water - take him with you so he swam to the side (ladder), or from stairs or next to you.




First, the distance that must overcome the kid will be minimal (arm's length). Gradually increase it. Continue to jump in the water with the child. He can stand face to you and rely on your hips, and you will keep it by the handles. You can jump into an embrace, slowly sinking deeper into the water. If the baby clings for you - try to roll him on his back, occasionally dipping into the water, or stomach (then you will sail on the back). For diving use side: put the baby on it and allow to jump to you in the water. First, hold it by the handle, then one stick, then pick up at the surface, then the baby will begin to swim on their own, and you will eventually move away from the side, increasing the distance that he will sail. Dive together, holding hands, facing each other, so that when immersing the child can see your face and smile. If the child is safely submerged in water - let him go under the water, he will emerge independently. You can dive with her mother's arms.




Well, if the pool you will not walk alone, but with her husband or with someone from relatives. Then the baby can be let go to swim from mom to dad. You can throw it in the water and your partner will be able to catch it first from the surface of the water, and then in the water.




Dive with the baby a few times, but carefully watch his breathing is necessary for the development of swimming skills. When children are well-dive and hold their breath for a long time, they can be given the task to collect toys from the bottom of the pool. To begin a workout at home in the bathroom. Pour water little by little, then higher and higher. When the baby is safely dip your head under water and retrieve the toy, ask him to do the same thing in the pool.
