Choosing the right pool is essential for swimming lessons to be not only successful, but also safe. It is especially necessary to approach this issue responsibly when choosing a place for a child to study. To help parents - a rating of the best children's pools in Omsk.

To find a suitable place for children to learn to swim, you can turn to adult pools. There are very often separate bowls for children's swimming.There are also suitable baths for babies in sports centers, children's clinics or developmental clubs.
Of all these options, the most suitable are municipal pools located in hospitals, as well as those located in specialized child development centers. From a financial point of view, the most profitable are children's pools in sports complexes and those attached to clinics.
When choosing an institution for teaching a child to swim, several important criteria must be taken into account.
To visit the pool, you need a certificate from a doctor that the child is healthy. In this case, preference should be given to those institutions where certificates are treated as strictly as possible.
If we are talking about a child under the age of one year, then classes should be allowed only after the presentation of all certificates. Of course, the need to constantly update such documents annoys many parents. But we must remember that this is necessary to protect the child from possible infection with infectious diseases. This is especially important for infants, whose immunity is still very weak and not able to fully resist disease.
Another issue related to compliance with sanitary standards is the water purification system used in the pool. Chlorine, which is used to purify and disinfect water, has a harmful effect on the child. Babies often swallow the water they are in while bathing, so the chlorine content in it can be detrimental to well-being. It is better to opt for pools at polyclinics, where other methods of fluid purification are used.
There must be a shower in the room, where all visitors must wash with soap and water before entering the water. Not everyone observes this rule, although their health largely depends on how responsibly and seriously parents and children approach this issue.
Personnel responsible for teaching children to swim must be in sight at all times. After all, the safety of little swimmers in the event of an unforeseen situation depends on him.
A good trainer must have the appropriate skills to provide first aid to an injured person in a timely and quality manner. At the first lesson, he must teach his wards the basic techniques and exercises. When it comes to baby swimming, he should show the mother or other accompanying person how to properly hold the child. Ideally, if the trainer is constantly in the water next to the children and parents, and does not give instructions while standing on the side.
Not only safety, but also the productivity of classes largely depends on the professionalism and attentiveness of the coach.
For classes with children, especially when it comes to babies, the location of the pool plays a huge role. A long road tires a child, so it is necessary to give preference to those pools that are in close proximity to the house. If it is not possible to find a suitable one, you need to come to class ahead of time so that you have the opportunity to take a little walk before training. You can combine such a walk with lunch or an afternoon nap.
In addition to health certificates, any child will need many more things for swimming.
First of all, we are talking about a bathing suit for girls or swimming trunks for boys.It is better for girls to buy closed swimsuits, as required by the rules for visiting the pools. Swimming trunks for boys must be tied. Clothing should be selected according to the size of the child so that it does not hamper movements, but also does not fall off at any opportunity. Babies don't need bathing suits, but swim diapers will be needed instead. They will ensure compliance with hygiene requirements in unforeseen situations.
Older children will need, in addition to swimwear, also silicone bathing caps. They not only prevent moisture from getting into the ears, but also protect the child's hair from the harmful effects of chlorine dissolved in water.
Swimming goggles are another must-have for training in the pool. They help you navigate better underwater and make swimming easier.
Rubber slippers will definitely be needed for older children to walk from the locker room to the pool. They must be non-slip so that the child cannot slip.
A bath towel and a bathrobe are a must to dry the body after a shower and not to freeze. It is better to choose them from terry natural fabric so that they absorb moisture well. Babies will need a large towel with a corner instead of a bathrobe.
Soap or shower gel and a washcloth are required to shower before exercising. If the pool is modern, and its showers have special dispensers with liquid soap, you can not bring these bath accessories.
Sports insurance is necessary for every child who plans to swim regularly. This document will help offset the cost of treatment or rehabilitation if the baby is injured during training.
