If your child feels the water temperature is cold when going into the water, he or she may easily catch a cold if he continues to swim. Many boys like to go swimming after playing football and find it very pleasurable. In fact, this can easily lead to bacterial infection.

4. The professional knowledge of infant swimming is

In the early 1960s, infant swimming emerged in some European countries such as Germany, Japan, and the Soviet Union. Now baby swimming has become popular in five continents of the world. However, the content and methods of infant swimming are different in different countries. The same thing is that they all start "swimming" in early infancy. Robert and his wife in New York, USA, founded a baby swimming base. Every year, more than 3,000 babies born only 3 months old participate in swimming activities. ROB swimming bases are now spread all over the world. However, they believe that the best time to learn swimming is for children from 6 months of infancy to 4 years of age before school. That is true swimming, and they have also published a book and two learning CDs introducing infant swimming. There are also dozens of infant swimming schools in Japan, and they also hold infant swimming competitions regularly.

"Waterbirth" and giving birth in the sea. The "edema delivery method" allows pregnant women to give birth directly to the baby in the water. After the baby is born, he/she can swim freely in the water. It will not be until the doctor takes him/her out of the water that he/she will start breathing with the lungs... After follow-up observation, it was found : These "water babies" are well developed, healthy and intelligent.

Giving birth in the sea. The first person in the world to give birth in the sea was Russian woman Katya. According to incomplete statistics, hundreds of people around the world have successfully given birth to babies in the sea. Amazingly, so far, no baby has been injured or suffered adverse sequelae when born in water. Babies born in the sea are naturally good swimmers. Katya's daughter is an excellent swimmer. She often swims with the coach for several hours. She is as agile and flexible as a cute little dolphin. Maybe giving birth in the sea is the origin of baby swimming? The experiments of Mrs. Lucille Call, an American physiotherapist, also proved that babies can learn to swim at three months, can swim in the water with pedaling and paddling at six months, and can swim freely in the water by 13-14 months. .

Abroad, cute dolphins are also used to combine water with water to treat children with intellectual disabilities, and the results have been quite gratifying. The vigorous development of infant swimming in China has only occurred in recent years. From south to north, from east to west, major hospitals, maternal and child health care hospitals and the society in my country have vigorously built baby swimming rooms, baby swimming bases and baby swimming pools all year round, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter. , thousands of newborns and babies are "swimming" every day...

5. Baby swimming

Parents are best to give their infants and young children swimming exercises. Do this at least once a week.

Expert Professor Guo Jianguo said that allowing children to receive swimming exercises from infancy can effectively improve the baby's physical function and *** the baby's cognitive ability, thereby educating (intervening) the baby's brain and promoting Healthy development and maximum stimulation of children's potential. Parents acting as coaches can help with emotional communication. Swimming for infants and young children can be a fitness and brain-building expert opinion: Guo Jianguo said that swimming for infants and young children has many benefits: it can maximize the release of the baby's playful nature, help the baby grow up healthier and happier, and can promote the development of infants and young children. The nervous system, digestive system, respiratory system, circulatory system, musculoskeletal and other systems are fully developed.

Newborn baby swimming can also promote the growth and development of the baby's brain nerves, promote digestion and absorption, improve the ability to respond to the external environment, improve the baby's disease resistance, promote the establishment of the baby's normal sleep rhythm, and reduce bad sleep The formation of habits is conducive to children's early education and improves their IQ and EQ. Newborn health care: Teacher Zhang Xia said that newborns constantly kick their legs when swimming, which promotes excretion. If a newborn baby is trained to swim, it will also help the child discharge meconium early, physiological jaundice disappear early, and nutrients are absorbed early. Other benefits include early recovery from physiological weight loss.

And it can easily stretch the muscles, joints and ligaments of the baby that have been curled up in the womb for a long time. Enhance heart function: During swimming, the oxygen consumption of the baby's body muscles increases, and the pressure of water on the peripheral veins effectively promotes blood circulation and improves the baby's heart function.

Promote brain development: When swimming, although there are aids such as collars, children need to balance on their own. At the same time, exercise brings a full range of stimulation to the baby. This stimulation is fed back to the cerebral cortex, which can effectively promote the development of the baby's brain nerves and stimulate the baby's instinct and potential.

Conducive to physical development: When infants and young children swim, it can effectively promote the development of bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles, promote the growth of the baby's height, and make the baby strong and healthy. At the same time, it can also be fully exposed to sunlight, water, and air, which promotes the body's absorption of vitamin D and is beneficial to physical development.

Method: Babies should learn to swim as soon as they are born. Expert opinion: The ideal time for babies to start learning to swim is within 3 months after birth. Because within 3 months after birth, the newborn's "unconditioned reflex" ability to swim has not disappeared.

For 3-month-old babies, swimming is just a continuation of their movement in the mother's womb. It is relatively difficult to learn to swim after 3 months of age.

Reminder 1: Do not swim for more than 10 minutes for babies. Zhang Xia said that the best age for healthy newborns to start swimming can be from the eighth day after birth to three months after birth. The reporter learned that hospitals with conditions now allow children to swim within 24 hours after birth, but the time a child spends in the water is generally limited to 5-10 minutes.

However, parents need to be reminded that swimming for infants and young children must be carried out 40-60 minutes after feeding or eating. The duration of each session is 10-30 minutes, but the specific time depends on the child. It depends on the physical condition at that time. Reminder 2: Swimming in natural water temperature can prevent diseases. Professor Guo reminded that it is best for infants and young children to keep the water temperature around 24 degrees Celsius, which is the most natural water temperature. It should not be too high or too low. As long as the weather conditions are suitable, it is best to let the children persist. Swim once a week.

Research results show that children who insist on swimming at a water temperature of 24 degrees Celsius have a significantly lower rate of colds and other diseases than children who dare not receive cold-resistant training. Early education to cultivate public health awareness in young children Professor Guo said that when a child is about one year old, parents can take their children to swim in public swimming pools.

However, because children around one year old do not yet have the awareness to hold back their urine, they may pollute the water with casual defecation when swimming in public swimming pools, thus threatening the health of other swimmers. and safety. Therefore, it is very important for parents to cultivate their children's public health awareness as early as possible.

At present, the infant paper swimming trunks of Huggies and other brands sold on the market can not only solve the problem of children needing to defecate at any time in the water, but also can be used by children who have not yet developed public hygiene habits. ** Places for swimming are provided. Reminder: Newborn swimming requires professional supervision. When allowing infants and young children to practice swimming, safety must be paid attention to.

A friend told reporters about her experience of swimming with her children, saying that she was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat. It turned out that the reporter's friend was swimming with her two-month-old baby. She went to get a towel to wipe the baby's face. As soon as she turned around, the baby sank to the bottom. Fortunately, the swimming pool dedicated to her daughter was shallow and easy to find. If The consequences in the swimming pool are unimaginable.

Therefore, experts remind that it is best for babies to be supervised by professionals when they first start swimming, and parents of newborns must not be careless. In addition, parents must not leave when newborns are practicing swimming, and it is best for parents to slide the water with their hands to help their children swim.

In addition, special swimming gear for children must be used, and EVA materials must be selected that meet medical device standards. They must not have any odor or odor, otherwise they will be detrimental to the health of the child. Hong Kong Economic Journal reporter Zheng Jiang.

6. What safety knowledge should be paid attention to when taking children to learn to swim in summer?

10. Parents take their children to swimming venues to spend summer fitness. How much do children know about swimming safety? Swimming in hot summer is an important task. People enjoy it endlessly, but the dangers that occur every year due to swimming cannot be ignored.

What safety knowledge do you need to know when swimming? Do not use your nose to inhale when swimming, as it is most likely to cause choking. Before children go into the water, parents should explain this issue clearly to their children to arouse their alertness.

If you choke on water, you must first open your mouth wide and take a deep breath. Even if you drink a few water, you must open your mouth wide and do not breathe through your nose. Children often have a fear of drinking water.

In fact, for beginners, it is better to drink more water than to choke on a mouthful of water. World swimming champions sometimes inevitably drink water in the pool. Coach Fu pointed to the children who were just learning to swim in the swimming pool and told reporters, "Look, it is easy for beginners to swim with their mouths closed. Even though the coach repeatedly emphasized that they should swim with their mouths open, the children are still not used to it."

Don’t make noise around the swimming pool. The swimming pool is mostly surrounded by mosaic floors. Swimmers walk back and forth on it, leaving a lot of water, so the floor is very slippery. Children are very active and often run and chase and fight on it. Once they fall, they will be in danger.

Never dive upside down. Some children like to dive upside down by the pool. They think it is sexy, but they don’t know that there is danger hidden in it. According to Coach Fu, the child was diving upside down and his body was slightly tilted, so his lower mouth could easily hit the edge of the pool and break his chin.

There are also children who turn around and dive. If you are not careful, you may be in danger. Some children plunge headfirst into the pool, thinking it is fun; however, some swimming pools are not deep, and some children use too much force. For this reason, it is common for their heads to hit the bottom of the pool and break their heads, which can be life-threatening in serious cases. .

Preventing Leg Cramps When children learn to swim for the first time, they feel panic. In addition, the water is cold and they may get leg cramps if they stay in the water for a long time. At this time, parents and children should not be too nervous. They should immediately let the children stop swimming and float on their backs on the water.

According to coach Fu, one of the ways to effectively prevent cramps is to make preparations before swimming. Preparatory activities include joints of the head, neck, shoulders, arms, waist and legs, hands, and feet. Activities open. Sometimes parents can also splash some water on their children's limbs to allow them to gradually adapt to the water temperature before swimming in the water.

You can also drink some light salt water in advance. Keep children out of the sight of their parents. Children are too young and have little idea of ??safety.

Although parents have given some knowledge in this regard, they still play in the water and forget their parents’ advice. Therefore, parents must always pay attention when their children are swimming to ensure their children's safety.

Even if your child has learned how to swim, or the area seems relatively safe, it is still best for parents to keep their eyes on their children so that they can take immediate action if they sense something is going wrong. To prevent earache and tinnitus in children, if water is poured into the ear while swimming, tilt the head to the side of the ear where the water is, pull the earlobe hard, and jump on one foot with the leg on the same side; align the palm of the hand with the ear canal, and lift the ear with your hand. If the blockage is tight and the water is in your left ear, tilt your head to the left. If the water in your right ear is in, tilt your head to the right. Then quickly move your hand away and the water will be sucked out.

After that, use a sterile cotton swab to put into the ear canal to suck out the water. Prevent nausea and vomiting in children. When children swim, some may cause temporary nausea due to water in their noses, drinking water, fatigue, and emotional stress. They should go ashore in time, press the Zhongwan and Neiguan points with their fingers, or take a few pills of Rendan. .

Avoid swimming in rivers, lakes, seas and reservoirs. Try not to let your children swim in rivers, lakes, seas and reservoirs. Tragedies occur every year when children drown alone when swimming alone in these places. The water in these places seems calm, but due to hidden whirlpools under the water, you may be swept away by the whirlpool as soon as you enter the water.

If you want to go to these places, you must be accompanied by a parent and bring safety equipment such as floats. When swimming in the sea, it is best to swim parallel to the coastline. Those with poor swimming skills and lack of physical strength should not wade into the deep water.

You must be more careful when swimming in areas with unclear geographical environment. If there are obstacles underwater, you may be in danger if you hit something hard or get entangled in underwater objects. 11. Self-rescue after swimming distress. Accidents often encountered during swimming are cramps, fatigue, whirlpools, rapid waves, etc.

Mastering certain self-rescue techniques can help you avoid danger or buy time to wait for others to rescue you. When encountering an accident while swimming, you should be calm and calm, and follow certain methods to rescue yourself. When it is impossible, send a call for help so that you can get timely help and rescue from your companions or rescuers.

The main cause of cramps is that there is no preparatory activity or insufficient preparatory activities before entering the water, the various organs and muscle tissues of the body are not activated, sudden violent kicking and paddling after entering the water, or sudden muscle contraction due to cold water Cramps occur.

Cramps may also occur when swimming for a long time, excessive fatigue and physical exertion, when the body dissipates a lot of heat or when the mind is tense, or when swimming movements are uncoordinated. ·If cramps occur while swimming, do not panic. You must stay calm, stop swimming, float on your back on the water, and use different methods to rescue yourself according to different parts.

·If you suffer from calf cramps due to fatigue due to low water temperature, you can put your body in a supine position. Hold the toes of the cramped leg with your hands and pull upwards to straighten the cramped leg. Use the other leg to step on the water and paddle with the other hand to help the body float. Do this several times in a row to return to normal.

After landing, use the tips of your middle and index fingers to pinch into the Chengshan point or the Weizhong point for massage. ·When your hands have cramps, you should quickly clench your fists, then straighten them hard, and repeat several times until they recover.

If you have cramps in one hand, in addition to doing the above actions, you can also touch Hegu, Neiguan and Waiguan points. ·For upper abdominal muscle cramps, you can pinch the Zhongwan point (four inches above the navel), and pinch the Zusanli point. You can also lie on your back in the water, bend your legs toward the abdominal wall, and then straighten them. Repeat several times.

·After cramping, use another swimming style to swim back to the shore. If you have to use the same swimming posture, beware of cramping again.

Self-rescue from water weeds: There are usually weeds or silt in rivers, rivers, lakes, and moorings near the shore or in shallow areas. Swimmers should try to avoid swimming in these places. What should I do if unfortunately I get tangled in aquatic plants or get stuck in the mud? ·First of all, calm down and cut.
