He LOVES the pool. But when he was 2, he stayed in the pool for around 30-45 mins. He got bored pretty fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-your-toddler-in-the-pool#post-932016 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 11:26:23 +0000 littleveesmommy 932016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just took DD to the pool for the first time at 17.5 months and stayed in for about 20 minutes before her teeth started chattering and seemed cold. She wanted to stay in but she looked too cold so I took her out. Is this because she still can't regulate her body temperature? When does it get better? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-your-toddler-in-the-pool#post-931225 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 07:01:05 +0000 heffalump 931225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's almost two and doesn't stay in the pool long. She gets bored and would rather walk around the pool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-your-toddler-in-the-pool#post-931161 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 05:29:14 +0000 GrapeCrush 931161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>he would stay in all day if we let him! we take him out between 45mins-1hr i'd say, just because of the heat/sun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-your-toddler-in-the-pool#post-931148 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 04:46:18 +0000 808love 931148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Used to be 10 mins but now we are up to half hour.

He has never reacted to chlorine so if he will play I will let him. His lessons are usually 30 min long and he will play after if we let him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-your-toddler-in-the-pool#post-930207 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 12:13:56 +0000 Andrea 930207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get in and out a lot because she gets cold.
