The benefits of aquatic education in the cold season
During the cold season, most parents tend to overprotect their little ones, thus interrupting all the activities they have. Aquatic education is the only activity during the cold season in which the child socializes and develops psychomotor skills (through play and rules), in which the child does not risk getting sick, being in a safe environment, under the strict supervision of qualified and experienced personnel in the field.
In fact, it is very important that the start of the program is not conditioned by the weather outside, as temperature changes and climatic factors can significantly contribute to strengthening the immune system.
What should be done in the cold or hot season at the pool?
To promote the continuity of pool activity and strengthen the immune system:
We recommend arriving at the pool 10-15 minutes before the start of the session, taking off your thick clothes upon entering the club, for better acclimatization to the atmosphere inside the premises.
Both at the beginning and at the end of the session, the shower should not be done with hot water, the temperature being at a comfortable value for the child's skin (32-34°C).
The child will be transported between the locker room and the pool in a towel or bathrobe.
The shower at the beginning of the session serves as an acclimatization, which is why we recommend that it be done just before entering the water, without the child's skin being dry (we do not wipe the child after the shower).
After the session, shower again with water at a comfortable temperature for the skin, check that there is no liquid in the ear canal, and dry the child's hair.
The child will be dressed gradually, with thick clothes being put on when leaving the club after the acclimatization break to close the pores, of at least 15 minutes between shower and departure.
Why is it important to have continuity in the aquatic education program?
After a longer break, children may lose learned skills because they lack muscle memory.
The positive results and gains achieved through a consistent program are more evident and last longer.
Our club offers you the optimal conditions to participate in such programs, throughout the year, and the children feel completely comfortable and safe from the weather outside.
