Abstract(s)

Motor skills can be defined as any task, simple or complex, that uses repetition in order to perform with greater independence and success. At 24 months old children are particularly characterized by the independence given to it by walking and running and the ability to transpose stairs. Positive effects of aquatic activity programs on infants’ motor development can be observed. In this context, this study aims to analyze the ability of the motor gesture of getting out of the swimming pier at different conditions: deep pool and shallow pool.
