On the mat next to the pool

Use a soft swim mat for this exercise. These mats are available in most conventional indoor swimming pools and can usually be borrowed for a short time. Place the mat at the edge of the pool and sit your child on it. Spend a few minutes playing with the child and letting them observe the surroundings while you stand in the water. Try to convey joy and a sense of well-being. Occasionally, you can also splash a little water onto the mat and the child. This exercise helps the child gradually get used to the unfamiliar environment of the indoor pool.
