Looking for a fun and healthy activities with the children? If you are confused, you can try to swim with your children.
Results of research in Melbourne, Australia, shows that statistically children’s IQ who are taught to swim as a baby are higher than children who are not taught to swim or be taught to swim after 5 years old. Their IQ are measured when they are 10 years old. Not only that, the physical growth, emotional, and social are even better.
Other research shows that babies are more easily to teach to swim than adults because babies have never had the X factor, such danger. Baby does not understand the danger. Moreover, baby loves the water so that he would like to be invited to swim. Well, this makes him easier to learn to swim.
Children’s motoric will also grow more rapidly than children who only play on the floor because while swimming, all the muscles work. Whereas if you play on the floor, only certain muscle that work. Especially, if the mother gives baby walker for the baby, the baby will be accustomed to walk with it. Finally, muscle movements become limited because only certain muscles are working.
