The first year after birth is the ideal age for introducing children to water activities. The motor skills of 1-year-old babies are sufficiently developed to handle the movements associated with swimming. But you can also check out our collection of 6-month-old baby floats if your little one hasn't reached 1 year yet.
One-year-old children are also more sensitive to the world around them. They can thus better appreciate the psychological effects of aquatic development.
One-year-old children are generally more predisposed to swimming than younger babies. They can also use a variety of floatation accessories for this purpose.
The pool float is the ideal type of baby float for children 1 year and older, unlike swim armbands and swim vests which are recommended from 2 years old.
Many health experts confirm this, and there are more than a few legitimate reasons why...
Babies 1 year and older can get acquainted with swimming and other activities in water through aquatic development sessions in a pool, especially in public pools. One-year-old children who want to participate in aquatic development sessions need a pool float to learn to swim safely.
Aquatic development is different from baby swim lessons in terms of accessibility. The minimum age limit for participating in aquatic development sessions is 4 months.
The baby is held by an adult throughout the session, which lasts about half an hour. Supporting a child for such a long period can be quite tiring for the supervising adult.
The floats and armbands for 2-year-old babies eliminate the tiring aspect, making the experience more fun.
You can take advantage of aquatic development sessions to bond with your children. However, the fatigue caused by continuously supporting the child can distract from this goal. That's where the pool float comes in, holding the baby in your place. You can then experience the session from a more playful angle and strengthen your bond with your baby.
In general, even though the aquatic environment is a great place for learning to swim, developing the baby's physical abilities, and fostering their aquatic development, it remains a dangerous environment for the child due to the risk of drowning.
This should be kept in mind, and you should stay attentive during the first swims. Additionally, some babies may have a fear of water (aquaphobia). Therefore, it is important to introduce them to this environment gradually.
A seat float is a pool float with a more comfortable seat than a conventional float. The child can put their legs through the holes in the seat to move the float with their feet. They can also use the float as a floating couch by leaning on the integrated backrest on the edges of the float.
Seat floats normally have two holes in the seat for the legs, as in the following models:
The seat can also have a single hole for the legs, like the car baby float. This model also includes a sunshade to protect the child from ultraviolet rays. The inclusion of a sunshade is particularly useful for open-air swimming. That's why it's also found on the baby boat float with sunshade.
Improving swimming skills and practicality is not the only aspect on which a float for a 1-year-old or older should be designed. The following models come in the form of colorful animals to give a cheerful and more whimsical touch to the float:
The baby swimmer floats are floatation accessories specifically designed to facilitate learning to swim for babies. They are equipped with a safety harness to stabilize the child on the float while they learn to swim.
Swimmer floats, in particular, are more pointed at the front to facilitate movement on the water's surface, as in the following models:
This style of floats is more suitable for baby swim lessons. However, there are floating floats suitable for learning to swim, such as the baby swimtrainer float.
Our baby floats are comfortable. They are designed for children from 1 year old and are durable and stable throughout this age range. The buoyancy is well-studied and perfectly suited for the aquatic activities of the youngest.
Put on their swimsuit, inflate their float, let your baby swimmer ride it and hold onto its handles, then watch your little one splash around confidently in the open air, in the sun. Stay by their side, like a real lifeguard, to watch and encourage them!
