I cant wait to get Charlotte into a pool I am so glad her cleft palate wont stop her from experiencing it at an early age. Will be more difficult when she has grommets but thats another story
I could swim (well kinda) before I could walk and its always been a big thing in my family. We came from the tropics and needed to beat the heat some how ! I also was a competitive swimmer and did synchronised swimming in my early teens.

I think swim schools run with the normal school terms, and the age I think depends on the swim school u will go to. Charlotte is booked in to start next Feb.. just give them a call and find out! I dont think taking your 4 mth old for a quick dip at the water park would be a bad idea either.. sounds like fun! I have done a little checking on the internet and there doesnt seem to be a minimum age to take them in.... HAVE FUN
