I cant see how it's a waste of time IMO its building up there water confidence and even if they're learning to be condident in water what a great gift you're giving them
ange we go to kings and no one in my group has had any infections!! compared to friends who have gone to bigger pools in the area who have had constant problems!! i highly recommend them!!
hehe - i don't think it's waste of time, but I think its a waste of money! I reckon just take them swimming for plays and games in the water at such an early age and then pay for lessons later. Our swim school doesn't take them younger than 6 months. Even then you're still handing money over to play games and sing songs LOL.
I think it depends on the child. We started DS at 7 or 8 months, and he was so non-plussed by the whole thing LOL. It wasn't until a fair bit older that he really started participating and actually enjoying it. He never hated it, just didn't think anything of it really. LOL.
We've never had any illness from swimming. but my nephew & niece had never ending ear infections.. but that can be the individual child too, not necessarily from swimming.
We started taking Arden to the beach and pool when he was around four months old, he loved it! we used one of those blow up floating seats and had no troubles. Than when he turned one I started taking him to aqua babies and he loved that too. I also had one of those blow up pools for him to muck about in at home.
Yesterday I put our 6 month old bub in his bath seat in the blow up pool with Arden and he just loved it!!! both of them slept for ages after it too.
Aqua babies was worth every cent, when our bub in care turns one I will put him into aqua babies too.
