Two different schools

Today many professionals (pediatricians, therapists, teachers, etc.) recommend swimming for babies, water stimulation, etc. Different ways to name the act of learning to swim while being a baby.

When choosing who to trust and which institution will accompany and guide us through the education of our children in these early development stages, there are many doubts on which would be the right method, the ideal professional and the proper age.

There are two great trends in the world about “water stimulation for babies and small children”. These two schools are very different, specially on the concept of man (subject), which leads to different positioning of the student and in consequence the objectives and activities are also different.

They both propose activity as stimulation and refer to the bond that water creates between parents and children. They both sustain that its benefits are undeniable for the functioning of the immune system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, etc. But once in the water, the differences are evident.
