I started taking Ella to the pool when she was 4 months old- she loves it  . We only stay in for 20 mins max as well...after that she starts to get a bit tired (and hungry).

As cuppatea said some pools will except babies at 3 months, although it is recommended you wait till 5-6 months as they can't control their own body temperatures before that. We enrolled Sam at 5 months, more because that meant she had all her immunisations.

I would definitley recommend swimming lessons though, Samantha just loves hers ]]> Tue, 27 Nov 2007 07:26:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12564&PID=253156&title=swimming#253156 <![CDATA[Swimming : Most pools say 6 months cos they...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12564&PID=253039&title=swimming#253039 Author: cuppatea

Most pools say 6 months cos they get too cold otherwise. Although I did find one pool in christchurch that said 3 months cos the baby pool was really warm, it is too far for us to travel though so we are waiting till he is a little older. (I think the pool was in addington).
I know quite a few people that have taken them younger than 6 months they just make sure they are not in the pool for too long.]]> Mon, 26 Nov 2007 20:24:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12564&PID=253039&title=swimming#253039 <![CDATA[Swimming : Just a quick one, when is the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12564&PID=253033&title=swimming#253033 Author: BabyKiwi

Just a quick one, when is the best age to take bub swimming??

She loves the bath and we have taken her to the beach and she loved the water.
