Make sure you're happy to be in the water before you buy baby swimwear..
There's no doubt that taking your baby swimming is great for both of you, but if you're not confident in the water, your baby could get the wrong message. If you're keen to give your baby this fantastic experience, it makes sense to become more used to the water yourself before you take the plunge with your child. Before you buy baby swimwear - and perhaps even before your baby is born - take the chance to get water-confident.
Self-Belief and Baby Swimwear
Whatever your age, it's important that you are happy in the water. Nervousness can transfer itself to your baby, so go to the pool on your own for a few times to get used to the routine of buying tickets, getting changed and getting into the pool. When you start swimming with your baby, you'll probably only be in the shallow end of the pool, or in a dedicated baby pool. That means you will easily be able to walk on the bottom of the pool and won't need to worry about floating or swimming. Going into a shallow area on your own is the ideal way to increase your own confidence levels. You can sit or kneel in the water, gradually lowering yourself under the water, but you don't need to put your face in or do any swimming strokes. If you're really worried, ask a member of staff for help, or find out if the pool runs classes for new adult swimmers. Alternatively, go with a friend who can help you feel safe and secure in the water.
Buying Baby Swimwear
Although there are lots of things that you'll need to buy before your baby is born, you can leave the purchase of baby swimwear until later, particularly if you're not sure about getting into the water. Baby swimwear is available for all ages, so you can take the time to become used to the water yourself before you take your baby swimming. If you're really keen for your child to get into the water and your partner is a confident swimmer, you can go as a family, but your partner can be the primary carer whilst you concentrate on your own progress. That way, you'll get the bonding you want, the water experience your baby needs and a family outing into the bargain. Buy baby swimwear only when you're ready to go to the pool, because babies grow quickly and you'll need to make sure you get the right size.
