Baby Swimming... B


aby swimming is one activity you can do with your baby from birth. You can either take your baby to a quiet warm pool on your own or join a local Baby Swimming Class.


Benefits of Baby Swimming - Why is Baby Swimming so good?


During the lesson your baby will experience skin-to-skin contact with you and that will naturally strengthen bonding. Your baby’s health & development will benefit as each lesson provides a complete physical work-out, strengthening your baby’s heart and lungs and aid development of the brain - including stimulating all 5 senses (taste, smell, touch, sight and sound).


Warm water relaxes your baby and swimming stimulates their appetite. So the result is improved sleeping, eating patterns, and a happy baby!


Introducing children to water at a very young age helps prevent a fear of water developing later and teaches the importance of water safety.


It is a good opportunity for your baby to meet other babies and a good place for you to meet other parents and maybe have a coffee and chat after!


So why not give it a go, it’s never too early to take the plunge!
