Babies naturally tend to float, thanks to their high body fat percentage and undeveloped muscles, which make them more buoyant in water. However, this does not mean babies can safely float independently, as they are still vulnerable to drowning and other hazards in the water. It’s important to provide constant and close supervision of babies while in water and to ensure they are properly supported and kept within arm’s reach at all times. Additionally, it’s recommended to enroll babies in a water safety and swim class specifically designed for infants and young children and to follow the guidance and instruction of a qualified instructor. Babies can safely and comfortably enjoy being in the water with proper supervision and support.
