Teach Your Baby To Swim

Teaching babies to swim at a few months old helps their balance and coordination in later years, a study revealed.
Five-year-olds who were given swimming lessons as infants were tested alongside non-swimmers across a variety of exercises.
Study leader Hermundur Sigmundsson, from NTNU, found the swimmers ‘best’ at balancing and catching.

Healthy babies who put on weight rapidly in their first year are at greater risk of obesity as adults, scientists believe.
