London Baby Swim's Operations Directors, Phil Shaw, 51, and Ana Torres, 36, are confident that babies have what it takes to be happy in a swimming pool.
Phil says that after nine months in the womb, a water environment, babies are perfectly prepared to swim from birth.
Special UV light is used to keep the water clean and reduce the amount of chlorine used for a pool that is friendly to sensitive babies' skin.
Phil's expertise in baby swimming has led him to understand exactly how babies are naturally able to take to the water.
Some parts of the throat called the glottis and epiglottis close to prevent water from entering. This provides a seal to the lungs while the baby is submerged, which is why we often see babies to swim with their mouths open. The babies also have what is called “the amphibian reflex”.
Phil added that with London Baby Swim courses, they are helping babies to make new brain connections and strengthen their learning through the exercise and stimulation.
They are very proud to see not only how much the babies enjoy the classes but how they improve their abilities in the water.
I chose this story of THE SUN newspaper because I found it very interesting the ability of babies to hold underwater.
