Definitely agree re the swim nappy - if at all possible make sure they have done a poo prior to the swim, because it doesn't necessarily 'catch' stuff, if ya know what I mean....<br /><br />My only tip other would be to make the most of it while you only have one child. Have another baby and you will have two non-swimming preschoolers, so can never take them to the pool alone......nappyvalleygirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195788236766051950.post-13950438433297840152010-05-16T13:53:29.326+01:002010-05-16T13:53:29.326+01:00I take Blondie Boy swimming once a week and I get ...I take Blondie Boy swimming once a week and I get us both dressed before we go so all I have to do is go. I also bring his robe so he's not too cold from the changing room to the pool and his towel is dry for after he gets rinsed off in the shower.<br /><br />I have dunked his head under water and if you do it quickly and say "yay!" it should be okay :) He also looooves it when I blow bubbles in the water.Melaina25noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195788236766051950.post-59500757334957026102010-05-16T11:18:32.785+01:002010-05-16T11:18:32.785+01:00My little Ruby loves the pool too.

They can hold a lot of water and aren't comfortable or very nice for lovely soft skin after a whileVictoriahttp://hibiscusbloem.blogstopt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195788236766051950.post-42972876205418761872010-05-14T21:33:13.035+01:002010-05-14T21:33:13.035+01:00My clever tip is: don't take the baby swimming...My clever tip is: don't take the baby swimming.

She will be shocked & you need to show the expression that it's okay! Also, practice 1-2-3 and on 3 she'll learn to close her eyes & mouth. We practice in bath & pool with this and now M always knows that 3 means BUSINESS! Have a swimmingly great time T! Miss you guys!
