Talalikhina, 28Swimming pool with mineral water almost in the city center
This pool is worth going to for the water. In Atlanta it is mineral, with properties as close as possible to sea water.

Staromonetny lane, 18Activities for the little ones
The center operates according to the “birthlight” system, the main idea of which is to support the physical and mental well-being of families during pregnancy and after childbirth. Much attention is paid to communication and teamwork between children and parents in the water. This is the optimal solution for those who want to start swimming with their child from infancy. Swimming lessons are held for babies from 1.5 months to school age. You can go to classes with your child or send him to a mini-group and watch the lesson “on land”. The center's specialists also offer baby yoga and developmental massages.
Swimming as a sports discipline appeared in Ancient Greece - this activity was part of the physical education program for young Hellenes. Before this, people moved by swimming during military operations, hunting, fishing, and not for pleasure or sports. The first official sports organization opened only in the second half of the 19th century in England. After this, swimmers' associations appeared in many other European countries. In the Russian Empire this happened in 1894. After 2 years, swimming was included in the program of the Olympic Games (by the way, the first in modern history). In the same century, artificial swimming pools began to be built.
The rapid growth in the popularity of swimming began in the 20th century and continues in the 21st: in almost all cities, including, of course, ours, there are sections of this sport, taught by qualified and experienced leaders. You can take up swimming from an early age. It’s better not to delay: the physical education program in schools often involves visiting the pool and passing standards, so it is advisable for parents to think ahead of time about making their child feel literally like a fish in water.
Swimming is one of the most useful sports. During classes, many muscle groups are trained, the condition of the spine improves (which is why doctors advise many children suffering from scoliosis to swim) and the respiratory system. With the help of swimming, it is excellent to fight excess weight and fears; it increases flexibility, dexterity and accuracy of movements, and coordination. In a word, this is an almost ideal sports discipline, useful for everyone.
How to breathe properly while swimming
Swimming is not just, roughly speaking, the use of arms and legs: it is the synchronization of many body processes, and proper breathing plays a big role in this. A person who does not know exactly how to breathe while in water loses more strength and may begin to panic and stop staying on the surface. One of the simplest but most useful rules, which is taught to everyone, young and old, is this: you need to inhale with your mouth above the surface of the water, and exhale - also with your mouth - already in the water. There is also an interesting dependence: the deeper you inhale, the longer you can stay on the surface of the water. But it is important not to fill your lungs as much as possible: excess air will create discomfort. While swimming, you should turn your head to have time to take a breath above the water. But of course, it’s better to do all this in practice under the guidance of a trainer, who will show by example how to control your breathing.
How to overcome your fear of water
Not only children, but also adults (the latter even more often) experience fear of being in water. It would seem: there is a desire to learn to swim, but panic fetters further actions... What to do? There are some tips that may be helpful. First: just be free from fear, not think that it exists at all. Second: don’t listen to those who scare you. Of course, it is not easy for sensitive children to “filter out” what adults or peers might have short-sightedly told them... Third: master exercises that help to stay on the water, for example, “Float”. The fact is that it is not the person himself who can drown: everything is to blame for the fear that this will happen. Panic paralyzes thoughts, a person can swallow water, and... Professionals also recommend learning to dive, and after that - swimming underwater with held breath. This is not so simple, but it helps greatly in reducing all worries to zero.
How to outfit your little swimmer
To practice in the pool, a child needs the necessary minimum of things: a silicone swimming cap, special swimming goggles, rubber shoes (to walk from the locker room to the shower and the pool itself), a one-piece swimsuit for girls and swimming trunks for boys. In addition, you need to remember a change of dry clothes, which the children will put on after classes. It’s a good idea to carry a terry robe with you, which quickly warms and dries the body, but you can get by with a towel. The pools have a shower: after class, the child can wash himself in it, so it is better to stock up on a washcloth and soap in a soap dish. Even for the first visit to the pool, a certificate of no contraindications from a doctor and, in some cases, sports insurance are often required.
Parents begin taking some children to the pool from an early age. At such an early age, babies still remember being in their mother's belly, and, as a rule, they really enjoy being in the water. Classes with such children should take place in swimming pool equipped for infants, with a good experienced trainer, and with the obligatory presence of one of the parents in the pool with the baby.
When to send your child swimming
If your city does not have such special “kid” groups and pools, then swimming will have to wait. Usually children are given for swimming at the age of 4-5 years. At this age, they are already tall enough to be in the paddling pool without the help of an adult, and are also able to listen to and follow the commands of the children's trainer. The portal considers this age to be optimal for starting swimming lessons.
But you don't have to rush. In primary school, many children also have the opportunity to learn to swim in the state swimming pool.
How to choose a good pool
Not every city has a large selection of swimming pools, so parents usually take them to a regular city pool. As a rule, they provide not only adult pools, but also children's pools. Find out what pool depth– the child’s height should allow him to stand confidently on his feet, and the water level should preferably not exceed the level of the child’s chest. A subscription to a city pool will cost less than to a commercial pool.
Try to find out in advance the qualifications of the future coach - he must be a certified specialist with experience working with young children.
How to sign up for the pool
You need to register for the pool in advance; groups begin to form approximately 2 months before the start of the proposed classes. When we sent our child to swim at a regular city pool, we found out that it is not open in the summer, and classes begin only in October. Therefore, you need to register around August to ensure there are enough places in your age group.
Sometimes, a month after the start of classes, some groups may be recruited. For example, after a month of training, some children abandoned classes. Some people didn’t like it, others began to get sick often, and the parents decided take a child out of this sport. Therefore, if you missed the main recording time, please contact the coach directly. He will tell you whether it is possible to join his group.
What you will need for training
You will be given a whole list of what you will need for training.
1 2 certificates. The first is a stool test for worm eggs. The second one must be obtained from your local pediatrician, providing him with the result of the first test during the examination. Based on the results of the analysis and examination, the pediatrician will issue you a certificate stating that the child is allowed to use the pool.
2 Rubber flip flops for your child and yourself. Parents also need flip flops to enter locker rooms and showers. At the age of 4-5 years, children still need parental help when taking a shower, putting on a swimsuit, etc.
3 Washcloth and soap. Before and after training, the child needs to take a shower.
4 Towel.
5 Rubber cap. A rubber cap should be bought not only for girls with long hair, but also for boys. It is believed that chlorinated water is bad for children's hair: it can become duller and brittle. In addition, the cap keeps your hair practically dry, which means that you won’t have to dry your hair for a long time after training. Read more about how to choose a swimming cap.
6 Swimsuit or swimming trunks. For boys, regular swimming shorts are suitable for training, which you take with you to the sea. Girls can also wear only swimming trunks, but you can also buy a beautiful sports swimsuit for swimming for your daughter. In such a swimsuit, it is more convenient for a child to jump from the side into the water, since ordinary swimming trunks can fly off.
7 Hairdryer You can carry a small hairdryer with you to training to dry your child’s hair after class. In the pool area there are, as a rule, conventional hot air dryers. Therefore, a hairdryer is not necessary.
On the next page, read what the temperature is in the pool and what exercises are performed with children.
What is the water temperature in the children's pool?
Behind pool water temperature They are very strictly monitored. For the youngest children this is 34 degrees, for older children (4-5 years old) this is already 32 degrees. The air temperature is about 26-27 degrees. In the locker room the temperature is slightly lower – 23-24 degrees. It is precisely because the child constantly moves from one temperature to another that the body hardens. The body learns to adequately perceive frequent changes in temperature.
What do children do during training?
From the very first lesson, children begin to perform exercises in water. These are the simplest exercises for children that allow the child to overcome the fear of deep water, teach the child to breathe correctly and not be afraid of splashes. All these exercises prepare the child, and he will subsequently be able to quickly learn to swim and dive.
Approximately the following exercises are carried out with children 4-6 years old on the water:
During the first lessons, children learn how to behave on the water. They perform simple exercises, for example, the trainer throws a lot of toys (cubes, balls, rubber toys) into the pool and then asks them to bring them to the side. All exercises are carried out in a playful way, so children have a lot of fun and it is rare to see a child crying in the pool.
Usually, a nurse is present at all lessons with small children in the pool.

Don't quit classes right away. Heal yourself and come to the pool again. It is believed that children who regularly visit the pool have excellent immunity!
Regular swimming lessons have a beneficial effect on the child’s body: they train the musculoskeletal system, strengthen the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, accelerate metabolic processes and improve immunity. Swimming is rightfully considered one of the easiest ways to raise a child healthy, strong and resilient. In addition, activities in water invariably evoke positive emotions in children and improve their mood. The main thing here is to choose a good pool for kids.
Let's try to figure out together where in Moscow to teach a child to swim and how to choose the right pool with a trainer for children.
When choosing a pool for small children under 3 years old, first of all, you should pay attention to indicators such as temperature and method of water purification, as well as the presence or absence of individual lessons in the pool with the child.
In addition to these indicators, we all want to find a children's pool "near me", and this is really important, because in the case of children, the time spent traveling there and back plays a significant role in the effectiveness of the activities. If the child was already tired on the way to the pool, then the training will be of little use. Therefore, when referring to our list of swimming pools for children in Moscow, do not forget to take into account the geographical principle - it will be different for everyone.
