Infant Development and Early Aquatic Stimulation

The objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of an aquatic stimulation protocol for infants up to one year of age. The main questions to be answered are: Is the aquatic stimulation program, which involves recruitment, intervention, and reassessment, feasible and feasible on a larger scale? Was the aquatic stimulation protocol able to promote improvements in child development compared to the control group? Researchers will compare the intervention group with a control group, which will be included on the waiting list, to determine whether aquatic stimulation promotes improved child development. Eligible participants will be assessed, and then a random selection will be made by an independent researcher to determine the control and experimental groups. The experimental group will receive aquatic stimulation through a group class, with activities that stimulate language, cognitive, fine and gross motor skills, as well as social interaction. The control group will remain on the waiting list throughout the intervention. Monthly messages will be sent to both groups to collect information about the infant\'s health. Interventions will occur twice a week for 45 minutes over a three-month period. Immediately afterward, the children and their parents/guardians will be reevaluated. Children in the control group will be guaranteed a spot to receive aquatic stimulation after the intervention period. The data will be tabulated, analyzed, and subsequently published scientifically.
