Regular swimming lessons have a beneficial effect on the children's body: they train the musculoskeletal system, strengthen the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, speed up metabolic processes and increase immunity. Swimming is rightfully considered one of the most simple ways raise a child healthy, strong and resilient. In addition, water activities invariably evoke positive emotions in children and improve their mood. The main thing here is to choose nice pool for babies.

Let's try to figure out together where in Moscow to teach a child to swim and how to choose correct pool with a coach for children.

When choosing a pool for small children under 3 years old, first of all, you should pay attention to indicators such as temperature and the method of water purification, as well as the presence or absence of individual lessons in the pool with a child.

In addition to these indicators, we all want to find a children's pool "near me", and this is really important, because in the case of children, the time spent on the road there and back plays a significant role in the effectiveness of the classes. If the child managed to get tired already on the way to the pool, then there will be little sense from training. Therefore, referring to our list swimming pools for kids in Moscow, do not forget to take into account the geographical principle - it will be different for everyone.

“The fact that a baby can swim is one of the facts confirming the limitless possibilities of a child”(Masaru Ibuka, "It's Too Late After 3")

The well-known Japanese teacher and psychologist Masaru Ibuka, in the book “It's Too Late After Three” (which we wrote about), shares a sensation that occurred in 1965 at the International Conference of Women Athletes in Tokyo. Chairman Rize Dim then spoke for the first time about teaching swimming to children under one year old. Before her eyes, a five-month-old baby learned to swim in the pool in 3 months. And he could “hold out” on the water for more than 6 minutes. This was another proof that all human capabilities and talents can be developed within a year.

Swimming as a sport discipline appeared in Ancient Greece This activity was part of the program physical education young Hellenes. Prior to this, people moved by swimming during military operations, hunting, fishing, and not for pleasure or wrestling. First official sports organization opened only in the second half of the XIX century in England. After this associations of swimmers appeared in many other European countries. In the Russian Empire, this happened in 1894. After 2 years, swimming was included in the program Olympic Games(by the way, the first modern history). In the same century, artificial pools began to be built.

The rapid growth in the popularity of swimming began in the 20th century and continues into the 21st: in almost all cities, including, of course, ours, there are sections of this sport taught by qualified and experienced leaders. You can start swimming from an early age. Better not delay: physical education program in schools, it often involves visiting the pool and passing the standards, so it is advisable for parents to think ahead of time about how their child literally feels like a fish in water.

Swimming is one of the most beneficial species sports. During classes, many muscle groups are trained, the condition of the spine improves (which is why doctors advise many children suffering from scoliosis to swim) and respiratory system. With the help of swims, it’s great to fight with overweight and fears, it increases flexibility, dexterity and accuracy of movements, coordination. In a word, it is almost an ideal sports discipline, useful to everyone.

How to breathe properly while swimming

Swimming is not just, roughly speaking, the use of arms and legs: it is the synchronization of many body processes, and correct breathing plays a big role in this. A person who does not know exactly how to breathe while in the water loses more strength and may begin to panic and stop staying on the surface. One of the simplest but most useful rules, which is taught to everyone from young to old, sounds like this: you need to inhale with your mouth above the surface of the water, and exhale - also with your mouth - already in the water. There is also an interesting relationship: the deeper you inhale, the longer you can stay on the surface of the water. But it is important to fill the lungs not to the maximum: excess air will create discomfort. While swimming, you should turn your head to have time to take a breath above the water. But of course, it is better to practice all this under the guidance of a trainer who will show by example how to control breathing.

How to overcome fear of water

Not only children, but also adults (the latter even more often) are afraid of being in the water. It would seem: there is a desire to learn how to swim, but panic fetters further actions ... How to be? There are a few tips that might be helpful. The first is simply to be free from fear, not to think that it is there at all. Second: do not listen to those who scare. Of course, it is not easy for receptive children to “filter out” what adults or peers might have said to them short-sightedly ... Third: master exercises that help to stay on the water, for example, “Float”. The fact is that it is not the person himself who can drown: the fear that this will happen is to blame. Panic paralyzes thoughts, a person can swallow water, and ... Professionals also recommend learning to dive, and after that - to swim underwater with holding your breath. This is not so easy, but it helps to reduce all worries to zero.

How to equip a little swimmer

To practice in the pool, the child needs the necessary minimum of things: a silicone bathing cap, special swimming goggles, rubber shoes (walk from the locker room to the shower and the pool itself), a closed swimsuit for girls and swimming trunks for boys. In addition, you need to remember the changeable dry clothes that the guys put on after class. It’s a good idea to carry a terry bathrobe with you, which quickly warms and dries the body, but you can get by with a towel. There is a shower in the pools: after class, the child can wash in it, so it is better to stock up on a washcloth and soap in the soap dish. Even for the first visit to the pool, a certificate of the absence of contraindications from a doctor and, in some cases, sports insurance are often required.

The benefits of early learning to swim have long been convincingly proven by physicians. Pediatricians agreed that swimming in infancy and in children a little older:

• improves blood circulation;
• develops the lungs and helps to increase their volume;
• gives a hardening effect, so "floating" babies practically do not get colds;
• beneficial effect on the development of the musculoskeletal system.

Features of teaching swimming to kids

The main condition is that learning should give the child pleasure. Therefore, elements of the game are constantly used in the course of classes. A set of exercises is compiled for the baby, which should preserve and develop the innate swimming reflex that is initially present in each child, gradually disappearing by the third month of life. Therefore, if the time to start classes is missed, and you do not dare to start teaching the baby to swim in such early age, then a completely different method is used.

The child in the pool should not feel forced. If he does not want to do some exercise or he is tired of being in the water, you cannot insist on continuing the lesson. Both the baby and his mother should receive only positive emotions from visiting the pool. Each lesson begins with gymnastics, which takes about half the time - 15 minutes. This is followed by a fifteen-minute swimming session.

Swimming pool "Children's Period Park": perfect cleanliness, safety and lots and lots of joy!

The Children's Development Center "Children's Period Park" is a place where children spend time useful, fun and interesting different ages and their mothers. Our center also has a wonderful pool for children up to a year and older, in which classes are conducted by competent instructors with extensive practical experience. The trainer, who himself is the father of four children, deals with the smallest ones. All instructors are very kind, friendly and charismatic, they easily manage to find an approach to the most capricious "swimmers". Children visit our pool up to and including the age of eight. The form of classes can be group or individual.

The pool itself complies with Russian and European standards for the arrangement and equipment of structures of this type. It is shallow, always filled with clean water at a temperature comfortable for the child - 30-32 ° C. In the pool, the strictest control over compliance with hygiene rules is carried out, and all rooms are cleaned regularly.

By the way, now a swimming pool certificate for a child can be obtained directly in the Park (this service is provided by our partner: the Children's Clinic "Child"). The doctor will arrive at a certain time, take an analysis from the baby, and the very next day the therapist will examine the child and write out a certificate! The cost of such a service only for clients of the Park of the children's period is 1500 rubles 🙂!
