Why bring the children to the pool?

Adults know it well: swimming is the most complete sport, capable of giving many benefits to the body and mind, and these advantages are also valid for children. The list of benefits of swimming and swimming pools for children are really many, below we list some of the most important.

To develop motor coordination

Bringing a child into the pool means helping him to develop motor coordination and respiratory resistance, as well as cardio-vascular. In the case of postural problems, it is often the orthopedist himself who recommends swimming as an adjunct to other therapies.

To relax the body

Swimming is also a real cure-all in the case of children who have difficulty falling asleep or wake up often during the night. If you are a parent you will have already experienced how the bath before bed leads the baby in the arms of Morpheus. Well, with the pool this effect is amplified, since the movements in the water provide a feeling of relaxation which often results in severe drowsiness.

To acquire and increase self-confidence

In addition to all this it is worth underlining the good contribution of swimming on a psychological level. Children feel confident in themselves and their abilities, gradually gaining more self-confidence. On a social level, the aquatic courses practiced with one's parents will strengthen the bond and the consideration of mum and dad as a "safe haven" on which to always rely.

For socialization

Finally, slightly older children will start swimming lessons together with other peers, a fundamental fact for extra-family and extra-school socialization. They will learn to negotiate spaces and times with a view to group sharing.
