Summer baby swimming water temperature

Many parents take their children swimming before they can even stand. There are many benefits for children swimming, but there are also many things to pay attention to when letting children swim, such as water temperature, which parents need to pay special attention to. Because only when the water temperature is appropriate can the baby have a comfortable swimming environment and will not get sick due to the invasion of cold air. So, what is the appropriate water temperature for babies to swim in summer?

1. Water temperature for baby swimming in summer

When choosing a baby swimming pool, parents must pay attention to whether the swimming pool has put disposable plastic covers on the large wooden barrels where babies swim, whether they are replaced promptly after each baby finishes swimming, and whether the water is changed after each baby finishes swimming. In addition, due to the baby's weak physique, the temperature in the swimming pool should be kept at around 26℃, and the water temperature in the swimming pool should be controlled at around 30℃.

In addition, attention should also be paid to checking the hygiene conditions, ventilation conditions and professional skills of the nursing staff in the museum. It is best for young parents to choose a baby swimming pool in a hospital or health care system for exercise. There are professional disinfection facilities and nursing staff there. When the child encounters an emergency such as choking on water, they can respond in a timely manner, which is better for the child's health.

3. Precautions for baby swimming

The most reasonable way for babies to swim is for parents and children to swim together under the guidance of professional coaches. Because babies have relatively weak resistance, the requirements for the swimming environment are relatively high, so it is best to go to a professional baby swimming pool. The water temperature for professional infant swimming is 30-31℃ in summer and 32-34℃ in winter. This imitates the temperature of amniotic fluid when the baby is in the mother's belly. It can arouse the baby's diving awareness and make the baby feel safe, without worrying about fever after exercise.

The indoor temperature of the baby swimming pool should be kept constant at 26-28℃. The baby swimming pool needs to be disinfected with ozone every hour. Ozone disinfection will not make the water smelly. The residual ozone in the disinfected water will quickly decompose into oxygen. It is the safest and most efficient disinfection method, and is also one of the safety standard requirements for international infant swimming pools.

Some parents think that taking their babies to the beach to swim may have better results. I do not recommend swimming in the sea for children under 6 months old, because the salt concentration in sea water is very high, coupled with the ultraviolet radiation, the child's body cannot withstand it. Children as young as 2 years old can play in the sea, but it is best to keep the time short and take protective measures such as sun protection.
