Unfortunately these are put on by our local parks &amp; recreation department and cost something like $50 for a six-week session, so I don't think they could afford to give us private lessons. I hope we'll be luckier with the scheduling the next time around. </p> <p>You two look gorgeous in the pool! I love your LO's little hat and sunglasses, too cute.</p> <p>@MsMini: Love him - look at that contented little face! He clearly belongs in the water (and in your arms.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-swimming-babies#post-653496 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 01:18:47 +0000 MsMini 653496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have had S in pools since he was 6 weeks old, and have taken a few sessions of swim lessons already at 10 months old, he is a total water baby and loves it!</p> <p>This is a picture from his first swim: </p> [attach=1297/13/mjy47c.400x600.382559_10151976054060565_1419439310_n.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-swimming-babies#post-653478 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 00:22:10 +0000 HabesBabe 653478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Giraffe: oh no, that stinks! Too bad they wouldn't give you private lessons since you signed up :)</p> <p>We're starting them next week! C is 8 months old and I took her into the pool during our anniversary weekend away... She loved it! </p> [attach=146/13/mjy1kz.600x600.IMG_20130315_170528.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-swimming-babies#post-653430 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 23:04:49 +0000 Giraffe 653430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the photos - they look like they're having so much fun!</p> <p>We had LO all signed up to start swim lessons at 6.5 months, but no one else signed up for the lesson time that worked for us, so it was canceled :( I think the next session starts in April or May, so we'll try again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-swimming-babies#post-653231 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 21:02:45 +0000 heffalump 653231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is almost 20 months and we're finally starting swim lessons on Monday. We're in Florida, water is everywhere so its important for her to know how to swim! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-swimming-babies#post-653194 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 20:44:45 +0000 Kemma 653194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great photos! I'm hoping to start some sort of swimming in a month or two as LO will be over six months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-swimming-babies#post-652883 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 18:32:41 +0000 reyorra 652883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad to see so many people starting young. I plan to start introducing my daughter to the pool soon because she really loves kicking and moving her arms in the bath. I think she'll love the pool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-swimming-babies#post-624235 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 10:24:10 +0000 LulaBee 624235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 7 months old and we plan on starting in April when we get back from our vacation to Florida- couldn't fit it in before hand but she will be going to the pool on vacation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-swimming-babies#post-624162 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 10:01:28 +0000 sorrycharlie 624162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so fun! we are totally not on a nap schedule right now so I think she'd end up melting down at some point. but we have a pool and my parents have a pool - and we're going to Disney in May, so at the very least, she'll hit the water by 8 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-swimming-babies#post-624157 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 09:59:54 +0000 wheres_c 624157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the pics.

We will be at the pool a lot this summer though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-swimming-babies#post-624036 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 09:19:30 +0000 buffalove 624036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! we started at 6 months and just registered for another session. DS LOVES it....so cute! DH and I switch off who gets to swim with him each week :) My parents have a pool that we pretty much live at all summer, so I wanted DS to be very comfortable in the water. Plus it helps pass some time in the winter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-swimming-babies#post-624035 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 09:19:17 +0000 mediagirl 624035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to but just can't get the timing down with her naps. We have a pool in our community and will go swimming every day on the weekends. I can't wait!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-swimming-babies#post-624032 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 09:18:31 +0000 winniebee 624032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So fun! I'd love to, but we can't commit on the weekends at this point. Hopefully soon though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-swimming-babies#post-623997 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 09:05:30 +0000 anbanan15 623997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is having a blast! We took LO to swim classes last year (~14 mo). He loved it by the end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-swimming-babies#post-623979 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 08:59:01 +0000 littlek 623979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone else take their LO to swim lessons? B started swimming at 5 months. DH swam competitevely in college, so it was not really a question of not starting B early. Here are some picture.. he LOVES it! He is such a water baby. he's actually started kicking his legs and using his arms... </p> [attach=2163/13/mjchie.450x600.B-swimming.jpg] [attach=2163/13/mjchig.600x450.brennan-and-dave.JPG]
