📢 Why We Start Swimming at 8 Months & Not Earlier! 🏊♂️💦
⸻
1 Motor Skills Development
👶 Better Control
At 8 months, babies have improved head, neck, and limb movement, making water activities more effective! Earlier than this, their movements are mostly reflexive.
⸻
2 Learning vs. Reflexes
🌊 Beyond Reflexes
Newborns instinctively hold their breath underwater, but this reflex fades around 6 months. At 8 months, babies can start learning intentional breath control!
⸻
3 Stronger Immune System
🦠 Lower Risk of Illness
Babies under 6 months have a weaker immune system, making them more prone to infections from pool water. By 8 months, their immunity is stronger!
⸻
4 Emotional Readiness
💙 More Social Awareness
At 8 months, babies are more comfortable with play-based learning, making swim time fun rather than stressful!
⸻
5 Temperature Control
🌡️ Safer & Warmer
Young babies struggle to regulate body temperature in water. At 8 months, they have better fat distribution and can stay warmer in the pool!
⸻
6 The Perfect Time to Start!
