Mr. Nguyen Huu Do - Teacher, swimming coach at Ngo Quyen Secondary School - Hai Phong said that parents should prepare all necessary items when taking their children to swim to ensure safety and create comfort during water activities.
Suitable swimwear
Swimwear is the most basic item when children participate in water activities. Parents should choose well-fitting, well-stretched clothes so that children can easily move and learn swimming techniques.
Swim glasses
Sunglasses help protect the eyes from impacts in the water environment. At the same time, this is also an item that helps children observe better when exercising underwater.
Swimsuit
While swimming, a swimming cap is a necessary item, which can help keep hair neat, limiting hair from obscuring vision. In addition, this item also helps protect hair from the effects of chemicals in the water environment.
Sunscreen
For swimming outdoors, sunscreen is an indispensable item. Sunscreen is an essential item to protect children's skin from the effects of UV rays. Parents should choose products suitable for their children's age.
Bath towel
After being on the shore, children need to have their bodies wiped dry to avoid catching a cold. Parents should prepare soft, absorbent towels to use after each swimming session.
Clothes
Changing dry clothes immediately after swimming helps children feel more comfortable and limit the risk of respiratory diseases. You should prioritize loose, airy clothes.
Personal drinks
Swimming is an activity that consumes a lot of energy and dehydrates the body. Preparing a bottle of drinking water will help children replenish water in time during exercise.
Snacks
After swimming, children often consume a lot of energy and quickly feel hungry. Parents can prepare some snacks such as bread, milk, bananas or nuts to help children replenish energy and recover their health after exercise.
