When we were preparing to go to China we saw pictures of babies doing this in the Fuling orphanage. When we met up with our group we were all wondering about this on the bus. I am so glad I finally found out what they were doing. My guess is that it was more for physical therapy at the orphanage.
I found this on yahoo news today.
In this photo released by China's Xinhua news agency, babies have the swimming training at a Maternal and Infantile Health Care Center in Suzhou, east China's Jiangsu province, on Friday February 3, 2006. Swimming for newborn babies, which is becoming increasingly popular in China, is not only good to the growth of babies' bones and muscles, but can strengthen heart and lung functions, Xinhua said.
