Recreational swimming classes at the children’s centers have not yet acquired a comprehensive character. In the course of classes, the versatile health and developmental effects of swimming on the child’s body are not taken into account and are not cultivated. The combination of special swimming with the general development exercises, as well as outdoor games and breathing exercises will allow you to implement health, development and educational tasks in working with older preschoolers in the conditions of a children’s health center. It seems that this approach will be more effective than the existing one.
