Splash into development: water classes for babies under study
NCT ID NCT07204613
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a 3-month aquatic stimulation program can improve development in babies aged 3 to 7 months. Researchers will compare 30 infants who take water classes with those on a waiting list, measuring motor, language, and social skills. The main goal is to see if the program is practical and promising enough for a larger trial.
