It is not always easy to teach the basics of swimming to children. Certain accessories such as armbands should however be avoided.
On vacation, children always enjoy swimming in the sea or in a swimming pool. Many parents then prefer to put armbands on them for safety reasons. However, this is not a good idea, as Alys Gil, entrepreneur and young mother, asserts on social networks.
Why armbands aren’t such a good idea
“By putting armbands or a vest that floats on your child, you give him a false impression of floating”, assures the owner of the Jade a dit boutique, located in Wittimont, in the province of Luxembourg.
And to continue: “When your child will jump in the water, he will float. His brain will therefore tell itself that his body naturally floats in water. The next time he finds himself in the water without a float, he won’t understand why he’s sinking. »
Alys Gil then advises fathers and mothers to be extra vigilant. “If you choose to go swimming with your child, prefer 100% vigilance. Be with him all the time and let him experiment without armbands. It is preferable to use accessories that he can separate from, such as the large sausages that are used for aquagym or a round buoy that he can play with, ”she concludes.
