We've all seen those beautiful pictures of babies underwater and as a parent, it's wonderful to see your baby splashing around in the pool. With lots of special classes for parents and babies, as well as just taking your baby to the pool during general swimming times, there's every reason to take the plunge. Getting your child some good quality baby swimwear is a great way to start.
Warm, Safe Baby Swimwear
Your first priority is always the safety and comfort of your baby, no matter what activity you're doing, which is why the right baby swimwear will be important to you. Babies' bodies react differently to water than older children and adults and they can get chilly even in a warm pool. Add to that the fact that your baby will have to wear a swim nappy and that many public pools now insist on a double layer system of baby swimwear - so a swim nappy plus another sealing layer on top - and you can see how important it is both to keep your baby comfortable and to make sure you keep the pool environment safe for other users:
Very new babies - although babies can go swimming before they've had their full set of immunisations, you may want to wait a month or two before you take him or her to a public pool - and ask the advice of your doctor or health visitor before you go for the first time. New babies will certainly need swim nappies and an additional swim layer for warmth - it's very important that you keep your baby warm and there is specialist baby swimwear available, such as the Konfidence Babywarma®, that helps your baby to retain his or her body heat. Young babies need to be held at all times, so wrap them up sensibly and don't stay in the water too long the first time you try it out.
Older babies - as your baby gets older, they will become more used to the water and you will gain real confidence if you're taking them regularly. Babies that aren't walking love the freedom of movement they get in the pool, and all babies like to play. Depending on your child, dedicated flotation swimwear such as flotation suits or jackets can be used from around 16 months onwards, which gives them the freedom they need, but helps them to stay safe - and of course, you should always be right next to them so that you can support them if they need it. Until your child is toilet trained, which often happens between 2-3 years, you will still need baby swimwear that includes swim nappies and perhaps an extra layer to cover the nappy for additional safety.
