Benefícios da natação na estimulação motora e psicossocial em bebês de 24 meses

Abstract

The present project permeates the theme “Physiology, Kinesiology, Biomechanics and Psychology in the Study of Aquatic Sports”. Within this proposal we brought a research that addresses the benefits of swimming in motor and psychosocial stimulation in 24-month-old babies, where we investigated whether swimming is actually beneficial for the child's development, and the considerations to be made about its practice. Since swimming is one of the sports most recommended by pediatricians. The research is qualitative and was carried out at the Acquaforme academy in São João da Boa Vista - SP. Two babies of the same sex and similar ages were evaluated, with parental authorization, by completing the TCLE (Free and Informed Consent Form). The research aims to verify if swimming is beneficial for babies, since some are released with a few months of life for this practice, and it is still not something very widespread in the municipality and region.
