Baby Swimming

This book for parents and course instructors contains not only the basic knowledge gained from practical experience but also the latest scientific findings on how babies can be encouraged to develop comprehensively from an early age through 'baby swimming', and also to use water as a natural environment.

The specifically developed teaching concept, the Grip ABC, the 'water-pouring' diving method and numerous ideas for movement and games are presented. Who can take part in baby swimming, how this course is run and what you have to consider when being in the water with a baby is dealt with as well as the critical discussion of the question why a child's development can be stimulated in water, why this element water can rouse our bodies and senses in such a special way and why it is a good idea to get a baby used to water.
