At what age did you/can you take your infant in a swimming pool?
-
We started swim lessons at 8 weeks- so much fun!
-
We waited til 6 months, but only because we didn't have access to a pool before then!
-
DD didn' go in the pool until 20 months, but her first time in the lake was at 6 weeks.
-
I had read that chlorine can be dangerous for infants under 6 months, so when I take LO swimming this summer it will be a lake or my nanny family's non-chlorinated pool (I think they're doing salt water)
-
I've always been told 4 month for the pool, but don't dunk them under before 6 months. Higher risk of ear infections before that, and no one wants a baby with an ear infection!
-
My doctor said no public pools until 6 months, but we swam in my mom's pool before that.
-
I'm going to ask DD's pediatrician about this next week. We have a pool where we live now, but we'll be moving when the baby is 4 months old. I'd love to be able to bring her in the pool once or twice before we move!
-
We took LO to our friend's pool when she was 4 months old. She loved it!
-
I am going to ask our doctor about this monday. Sawyer LOVES bath and shower time, and would love to take him to a pool this summer, in the fall we are going to do Mom and Baby fit swimming classes once per week.
-
Lo is 3 months. But we plan on just putting her in a kiddie pool.
-
We went in the pool with him at 4 months but even that felt a little early. We'll wait until 6 months with DD but that'll be in December so...probably more like next summer.

6 months and that was for mommy and me swim classes. It was great!
