Os benefícios da natação e a ludicidade nesse meio para o desenvolvimento e crescimento de crianças de 3 a 7 anos

Abstract

Swimming is the ability of humans and other animals to move around in water (MARTINS, 2014). The action of infantile swimming involves from the activation of the child's brain cells, to a better and earlier development of their psychomotricity, sociability and reinforcement of the morphological cardiovascular system (TINTI; LAZZERI, 2010). The initiation of this modality, in this age group, should allow exploration of movement and perceptive-motor learning. The general objective of this work is to evaluate the benefits brought by swimming practice for the development and growth of children aged three to seven years old in clubs in the city of Natal / RN. This study is characterized as an exploratory research of the qualitative type, aiming to: question the population to be approached, compare the results of the questionnaires with the observations made in the practice and analyze the benefits brought. Work consists of 40 parents of children, being children from 9 to 7 years of age. The data collection was developed through a previously structured questionnaire containing 5 questions, 1 being open and 4 closed, which were directed to the parents of the children. After this, the questionnaires were evaluated and it was noticed that the parents' goals were reached in relation to the chosen sport, as well as they are satisfied with the results. They also perceived other benefits achieved, if satisfied with the results presented by their children so far
