While swimming is generally safe, there are some health concerns to be aware of. Ear infections, also known as swimmer's ear, can occur if water remains trapped in the ear canal. To prevent this, ensure that children dry their ears thoroughly after swimming. Chlorine exposure can also cause skin and eye irritation; using goggles and rinsing off after swimming can help mitigate these effects. Additionally, parents should be aware of the risk of waterborne illnesses and ensure that children do not swallow pool water.
