How to teach children to swim

1. Learn to hold your breath

Many people accidentally slipped into the water and choked in just a few seconds. In fact, what we have to do is very simple: hold your breath in the water and breathe after you come out. If you don't hold your breath, you will be nervous and afraid of water. It's that simple. With more training, you can start from a short time and slowly lengthen the time. If you can stay in the water for 5 seconds, congratulations, you have learned to swim in shallow water. This process is expected to be completed within 1 hour. Pay attention to the shorter time to start choking, and try not to let the child choke, because choking will increase the child's fear of water.

2. Learn to hold your breath and start teaching movements.

You can let your child lie down by the swimming pool and practice his legs first, so that he can pass the exam even if he is not heavy. Then there is the hand movement. You can stand up on your feet, immerse your hands in the water, and then do the action. Whether practicing hand or foot movements, it is best to press your head into the water. You can swim out boldly with a floating board.

3. Then learn to use both hands and feet.

At this time, you should learn to immerse your head in the water without preparation. Swim out boldly, as long as it is in shallow water, it should be no problem. Use your hands and feet. Remember to keep your head down and keep your balance. Although the hands and feet are not very coordinated, you will learn quickly as long as you practice more and improve your movements.

If you can dive a few meters, you must learn to breathe.

It is very important to learn to hold your breath-exhale-inhale, and of course you should learn to do these actions with your mouth. The key point is to spit out a breath quickly when the mouth is about to come out of the water, then take a deep breath and keep your head in the water; When practicing, you can stand up and squat in the water constantly, just to make the effect of breathing. In this way, learning to breathe can also adjust the frequency of breathing and adapt to the rhythm of the body. This is almost 1 hour.

5. Finally, practice.
