I asked at our local pool earlier in the week if I can bring Ella in for a swim (will be 4 months tomorrow). They said as long as her jabs were up to date, then it was up to me. They did recommend not having her in the water long than 20 mins as their skin is still quite sensitive as this age. ]]> Fri, 19 Oct 2007 09:16:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11630&PID=232098&title=swimming#232098 <![CDATA[Swimming : We took Noah after he turned 4...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11630&PID=232046&title=swimming#232046 Author: Leish

We took Noah after he turned 4 months cos that is when our local pool offered lessons from. He has been fine with it - no problems with getting sick etc. I know that on the baby mornings that they heat the pool more so that it is really nice and warm for the littlies. Might pay to check whether they do it at your pool and what days so you can go then.

I took both Andrew and Josh at 3 months and had no issues. The main reason is because of them not being able to regulate their body temps.

We got told that they prefer them to have had the 3 lots of immunisations as infections are spread easily in the warm water. The temperature issue was in the conversation as well but not the main reason for the swimming school we are using. In saying that she did say that you can take them as young as 3 months, but they prefer them to be over. ]]> Thu, 18 Oct 2007 21:24:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11630&PID=231973&title=swimming#231973 <![CDATA[Swimming : I think it is mainly due to them...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11630&PID=231968&title=swimming#231968 Author: Spudling

I think it is mainly due to them not being able to regulate their temp very well. Also I have read about too much water in their ears and swallowing it etc.

Just call your local pool and see what they say, maybe you could get a little wetsuit for Caprece?]]> Thu, 18 Oct 2007 21:18:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11630&PID=231968&title=swimming#231968 <![CDATA[Swimming : Ok I know they recommend not taking...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11630&PID=231959&title=swimming#231959 Author: Rachael21
