Usually, parents who themselves were engaged in swimming, and positively disposed to the water "procedures", and this increases their success in a few times.
When can I start classes?
It is believed that classes can begin 2-3 weeks after birth when the umbilical wound healed. At this time, the children still retained reflex breath by ingestion of water on his face. But over time it will disappear, so the water treatment at home is better to start when the baby reaches one month of age. Nine months before the birth of a baby floating in the amniotic fluid, so you may be happy to accept and bath. And the lessons in the pool practiced in children's clinics with two or three months of age, after the child has already acquired the skills of the initial finding in the water.

Time per session on the first month of training is determined by weighing a baby at birth: 5 -10 minutes with the original weight of 2.5 -3 kg. Each month, currently growing at 3 minutes, gradually reaching 40-45 minutes.
It is easier to conduct classes in the daytime, because they have a tonic effect, and when sailing at night, can disrupt nighttime sleep baby.
The optimal time for training - 40 minutes after eating.
• After school crumbs to eat. Therefore, Mother's milk is simply indispensable for recuperation.
• After swimming well dry ears of the child. Use the cotton balls, which is necessary to drain the ears, the water should soak in cotton wool.
• Kid gets used to load slowly, so the schedule is better to build so that the child had been "off".
