What should children pay attention to when learning to swim?

Learning to swim has many benefits, but we must also pay attention to:

First of all, safety first, there should be swimming coaches or parents and teachers who can swim to protect them, and there should be a step-by-step study plan suitable for children's characteristics to make them interested in swimming, so as to promote exercise.

Secondly, children should be prepared for activities before entering the water, such as moving their limbs, imitating some swimming movements, and wiping their bodies with cold water to adapt to the temperature of the water. Finally, don't spend too much time in the water. Once the child feels unwell, take the child ashore immediately to avoid accidents.

Choose swimming time and precautions

1. Choose to start swimming in summer, the water temperature is high, and children are easy to adapt. Parents can take their children to the doll pool 50-80 cm deep to get familiar with the water. First, the water temperature in the doll pool is relatively higher than that in other pools; Secondly, the water is shallow and the child's psychological fear is slightly better.

It is not easy to stuff the children with food before entering the pool. When people enter the water, the water will exert pressure on the human body. Often, before food enters the child's stomach, it will overflow into the trachea by water pressure, causing suffocation. It is suggested that you can give your child something to eat half an hour before swimming, and don't be hungry or full.

3. When choosing a swimming cap, choose a swimming cap. The rope is not fixed around the neck. Girls wear suspender swimming trunks, and it is not easy to tie a rope around their necks.

4. Teach children to look at the signs of the swimming pool, so as not to get into the deep pool by mistake.

5. Before entering the pool, lead the children to do warm-up activities and develop habits.

6. It is not easy for children to enter the pool immediately when they are sweating. They should dry the sweat with a dry towel first, and then enter the pool after the pores shrink.

7. It is difficult for a child to swim within 65,438+0 to 2 weeks after he recovers from a cold. It is necessary to observe whether the child has chest pain symptoms, lest the child catch a cold and cause myocarditis and go swimming will have an accident. There is no uniform standard for children to learn how to swim and whether they can survive in the water. Some people think that if you can float in the water, you can breathe, and you can swim 20 to 50 meters, you can swim and survive in the water. Some people think that knowing breaststroke, freestyle, backstroke and snorkeling can be considered as swimming and can cope with emergencies.
