Two-month-old babies swim underwater in Turkey

A baby in a colorful Santa Claus costume dives underwater in Istanbul, Turkey on January 3, 2019. The parents believe that swimming underwater contributes to their children's abilities to develop intelligence, perception, balance skills, and coordination, so they enroll their babies at two months of age in these special courses that are designed for infants. In addition, during certain days of the week, swimming lessons are done with costumes designed to emphasize social issues and make the lessons more interesting for the children.
