Children are not usually able to swim until they are four years old, but that does not mean they can not play in the pool water and enjoy all its advantages, especially at the level of coordination and psychomotricity. In this article, we explain the best pool games. Taking the baby to the pool will familiarize you with the water and its surroundings. Even so, do not try to teach him to swim with one or two years, because he will not learn yet. However, these ages are ideal to enhance their psychomotor development in the water, it is important that the child is discovering their body and their motor skills, and the pool is a place of fantastic exploration for this to happen. The activity in the water is healthy from the first weeks of life; Yes, it will be important that the child has eaten and slept enough, since stimulation is the most important in this activity and the child should be as receptive as possible. To make the activity even more fun, we recommend that you interact with your little ones with kid sprinkler toys and accessories in the pool. This will make your family pool day fun and refreshing. Pool games for babies Something important to play pool games is that the baby, or the child, is not afraid of water and, of course, that they are always watched by an adult. To lose that fear of water, you can play 'the jellyfish', where the child leans forward to touch the water with his face and blows bubbles, or 'the star', which consists in holding your hands child face up in the water, with arms and legs open. If what you have is fear of letting go of the edge of the pool, you can stand beside them and encourage the child to surround you. And if you're afraid to stick your head in the water, try splashing them in the face. Surely it will not make them very funny, but if you encourage the child to splash you too, and you play theater, they will have a great time. Another pool game that motivates them a lot is to throw toys inside for them to catch. We can also freeze ice cubes the day before, and better if you add a few drops of food coloring to decorate the cubes. With the ice cubes prepared, you throw them into the baby's pool so that they try to catch them, with a glass, before they melt. Pool games for children A fun pool game for children is 'the shark', where the adult is a fish and the sharks children try to eat the fish, or the other way around. Another game is 'the balloon dance'. You pierce a balloon with a pin, fill it with water and tie it. The game consists in that the participants go over the globe without it emptying or exploding. If the children already know how to swim, you can prepare a gymnastics test in and out of the pool, which they will love: roll with the towel, touch the umbrella, jump into the water to catch some object, touch the umbrella again ... Other pool games for children are races, or relays if there are many, swimming while carrying a ball or a chancla. 'The treasure' is another pool game that consists of seeing who takes more things from the bottom of the pool, or 'the patiabiertas statues', where they can spend hours passing between the legs of others.
