When planning a trip to the sea, river or the nearest lake, do not forget to take care of the safety of your baby. Even if you take your baby from 2 months into the pool and are sure that the child can swim, do not neglect the ability to insure him. One thing is the excellent skills that he shows in the pool, under the watchful guidance of an instructor and under the supervision of his parents, and another is an open pond with not always clear water.
It is very simple to insure your child - buy him swimming sleeves. Tiny children can resist such an accessory; it will be difficult to put them on. But on the other hand, in the first days of rest with babies up to 3 years old, it is better to keep them by the arm or armpits all the time, dipping a little in the water. This is especially true for children who did not swim in the pools, and bathed only at home in basins or bathtubs.
If your child easily agrees to wear sleeves for swimming, then you can try to teach him to stay on the surface of the water. Of course, this will simply be moving in a pond without the help of legs, but for a baby, even such a method will be cause for joy. So, with the help of this accessory your child will be able to stay on the water. Your task is to teach him to move his arms and legs correctly. If he manages to swim at least half a meter on his own - this will be a huge achievement.
If you have never used arm ruffles before swimming, then you will be interested in the nuances of their operation. So, before putting this accessory on a child, it must be inflated. But keep in mind that armlets will be much easier to pull if left a little soft. Put them on the right place on the arm (they should be between the elbow and shoulder), after which you can already inflate them to the end. This will ensure their reliable fixation, you will not worry that they can slip into the water. Before you remove the children's arm ruffles, be sure to release air from them.
The main advantage of this accessory is its reliability. All produced models are made in two sections. Even if one part of it is damaged, the other will be enough to support the child in the water.
Many refuse such an acquisition only because they don’t know how to choose arm ruffles for swimming, they are lost in the variety of options offered. So, first of all, you need to pay attention to the quality of the material. It is better if they are made of hypoallergenic vinyl - such products will be strong enough, reliable and at the same time light. And only secondarily, pay attention to the drawings, focusing on the preferences of your baby.
Not many people know that adult swim sleeves exist. They are designed to educate people who have not been able to learn how to stay on the water as a child. Of course, not every man or woman dares to appear on the beach with such an accessory, although this is a real opportunity to understand the principle of swimming. As an alternative to sleeves, manufacturers often offer special devices that are worn on the body like a
life jacket. They are made in the form of an arc supporting the neck and back in the back, and the chest in front.
