I'm not big on swimming and gained a bunch of weight after lo1 was born. I think lo2 has dipped his feet in already. He was 4 months at the time. He didn't appreciate the cold, lol. sapphire on "First time your LO was in a pool?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-time-your-lo-was-in-a-pool#post-2506276 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 21:55:56 +0000 sapphire 2506276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We did lessons at 6 months.

We haven't done lessons yet, but will probably very soon. gilmoregirl on "First time your LO was in a pool?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-time-your-lo-was-in-a-pool#post-2505945 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 16:52:11 +0000 gilmoregirl 2505945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We dipped him in a community pool at like 4 months. Last summer we spent a lot of time at that pool - he was 14-17 months. We've moved to a new neighborhood though and don't have the same pool so I've thought of doing swim lessons to keep him comfortable in the water.

A great intro to the water, since they are so warm (we didn't take him into the hot pools). He started swim lessons at our local pool at 5.5 months. They are open to babies as young as 4 months.

He loves the water: beach, pools, bath. We just started swim lessons last week and he is 2.5. He is fearless and doing very very well!

We were just at a friend's pool in one of those float things. He LOVED IT. Total water baby.

He went in a pool once before that. He does pretty good but has been going through a clingy phase and isn't too fond of going under water at the moment. He's getting so good at holding his breath though. We're working on going under and rolling to back when he comes up.

Dh dipped her little feet last weekend at 4 and a half months. She seemed to like it. Still too cold to get all the way in tho Chillybear on "First time your LO was in a pool?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-time-your-lo-was-in-a-pool#post-2505783 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 15:16:15 +0000 Chillybear 2505783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She went in my parents pool all of twice her first summer (8m-11m) and was not to happy about it. We started swim lessons when she was 19m and has been doing them ever since. She's a total fish now at 2 1/2. snowjewelz on "First time your LO was in a pool?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-time-your-lo-was-in-a-pool#post-2505762 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 15:09:09 +0000 snowjewelz 2505762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We did from 6-8 months... This place offered free classes as long as you started before turning 7 months! It was really great! Foodnerd81 on "First time your LO was in a pool?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-time-your-lo-was-in-a-pool#post-2505760 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 15:08:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 2505760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ In a hotel pool at 8 months. She liked it. I think we went too long without really swimming because she did NOT like swim lessons a little after she turned two. It took half the sessions just to get her to stop crying (with a parent in the pool).

It's mainly an introduction to water class for babies under 1 year. Not sure about doing it since there is a annual fee and I'm hoping to move out of state soon.
