National Baby Swimming Week!

Happy National Baby Swimming Week, guys!

What IS National Baby Swimming Week?

“Now in its second year, National Baby Swimming Week is a time to discover all the joys and benefits of baby swimming for babies and parents alike.

National Baby Swimming Week, in association with Childs Farm, is brought to you by Water Babies and supported by Yeo Valley, Mothercare, Piccolo, STA, Swim England and Baby Buddy.” (NBSW website)

The aim of the week is to improve health & fitness, enhance coordination & confidence, and also equip our babies with potentially life saving skills. It can be done from birth, even before their first jabs, as long as the water is above 30 degrees Celsius for a baby older than 12 weeks and/or heavier than 12 lbs, or 32 degrees Celsius for smaller and/or younger babies.

Here are the benefits of swimming from birth…
