Why should you take your baby swimming?..


“ S


wimming is one of the most complete and beneficial activities for babies, as well as being one of the few things you can do from birth explains Claire Southworth who runs Water Babies classes across Wiltshire.


”


The multi-award winning Water Babies course teaches using voice commands and learning to respond to these is excellent for your baby’s mental development. Also swimming is excellent for stimulating your baby’s eating and sleeping patterns.


Lessons last half an hour, and although they might look very gentle, each provides your


baby with a great work out – exercising and strengthening lots of muscles they’d never even find on land!


It’s also fantastic for strengthening the bond between you. Lots of mums (and dads) find that becoming confident in water makes them more confident on land. Others say the best thing is finding an activity to do together that they and their baby both adore.
