How does a baby swim underwater?

How do they bring their parents? babies swimming from 4 months? Aren't babies, according to popular perception, "too small"?

The practice of aquatic classes for babies is popular and recognized for its advantages in Western Europe, but in Romania, little is known about the advantages that little ones have in the first months and for which they should start "underwater" sessions.

The diving reflex is a reaction similar to the swallowing process, when the epiglottis closes the airway, blocking water from entering the lungs. Babies have this reflex due to the gestation period in which they "swimmed" in the amniotic fluid in their mother's belly during pregnancy.

It is essential for the safe and fearless development of water that the baby does not develop a "fear" of water and associate it with danger, especially since the period when he still has this diving reflex can be exploited.

Our mission has become to protect the little ones and give them a positive experience in contact with the water. From 4 months onwards we offer them individual sessions only with empathetic, playful and qualified instructors. In this way we were able to create a relaxing and fun environment in which the little ones can learn an essential skill for their safety in pools, bathtubs, at sea, anywhere near water.

We feel fulfilled when we can contribute to informing parents and when we can help little ones obtain a lifelong gift, swimming.

We are waiting for you and your little one to schedule a FREE SESSION and share your experience with our team with the ABC parent community.
