I bought my dds to swim when they r about 5mths stay in the pool for 10-15mins. They use the Huggies disposable diapers tt r meant for swimming.:mlaugh:
I think the public government swimming pool is more safety too.
So much care attention on it.

The public & private swimming pools are certainly not the ideal places for babies- with all the chemicals, chlorine being just one of them, and the germs, etc. I use deep bath tub to let my baby play in the water or visit the baby swimming centre named HWA XIA. Find thier web site: Hwa Xia International Pte Ltd Baby Swimming Program Baby Massage Program Baby & Kids Hair Cut
Yes,and the pool washing materials (chemicals tool) are not good for small child
maybe need more care on this issue.

my boy started swimming when he's 1+month old. went to hwa xia. he was tensed during 1st swim. but aft that, he looks foward to it. everytime i tell him that he's gg SWIMMING, he'll get excited.

he goes there every week. jus finished his last session. gg to buy the portable tub, let him swim at home instead.

will only let my boy go to public pool when he's 1 yr old for hygiene purpose.

Got it.

Maybe go to warm water pool, (with life guardon on duty for safety, of course)

seem more comfortable to small children.

I brought mine after they turn 3yo. Was initially worried abt the viruses that they might be exposed to if we brot them too early. Anyway, they enjoyed sitting in the float and dipping themselves in the pool. :)

baby are born swimmer.
Perhaps the best news of all is that swimming help to grow and develop the baby’s brain because the brain grows by use. Providing an opportunity for baby to move in the water is an ideal way to develop not only a stronger body, but a better brain.

How does physical activity cause the brain to grow? The simple answer is stimulation. If a baby receives extraordinary stimulation, the brain will store an extraordinary amount of information. This is the foundation of human ability.
swimming for newborn is popular IN USA, JAPAN, EURO. In Singapore, the company provide the course is HWA XIA INTERNATION P/L. Untitled Document.



this is soooo cute!!! can't wait to bring him!
