Ⅱ. 七选五
Some parents don’t allow or help their children to learn to swim. 1 A child who has learnt to swim has the confidence to attend activities about water, like pool parties. More importantly, the child is safer in and around water. Here are some tips for you to help your child learn to swim.
Introduce your child to water early in life. Children who become familiar with water in the early days are less likely to be afraid of water later. 2 You can build a private pool for your child, or allow your child to use a public pool. Most public pools have special pools for the youngest children.
For older children who want to learn to swim but have a fear of water, introduce them to water gradually. What if your child only wants to hang his or her feet in water at first? 3
Once your child has become comfortable with water, he or she will be able to begin the basics. 4 They’ll be followed by learning how to float, kick and other skills. If you find it challenging to teach your child to swim, consider asking a private instructor to work with him or her.
5 Never allow your child who can’t swim into the water alone and never leave your child unobserved in the water. Follow all pool and water safety recommendations at all times. And before swimming, check the possible dangers in the pools.
