Hey, I am going to start taking my 6 months old to a swimming pool soon but have some questions. What should I bring there (must have things)? Also are swimming pools usually stroller-friendly? :) Thanks!

Take a dressing gown for you! I find it so handy to get out of the pool and put mine on while I get the kids organised. Our pool has an enclosed play area so I can put them in there once they are dressed so I can sort myself.
You could use a stroller at ours no problems as well :) Have fun!!! |

Must have swim nappy 
Are you taking him/her to a baby swim class? As most pools are too cold for babies. ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone! From flab to fab in under a year  http://www.femininefitness.co.nz/category/blog - LFs weight blog

Yay for swimming We go swimming a lot. Besides what we always take out with us in the nappy bag, we also take -
swim nappies, togs, towels (at least one each), sunscreen, sunhat, sunnies, extra nappy for AFTER you've been swimming, swim ring/arm bands (at 6m C was in a swim ring with a seat, he can get out of it now though). Have fun! ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |
