Swimming Lessons - now or later?

[Winter]

I'd wait until Spring. It's hard with small bubs when they get sick, you end up missing lessons which you've paid good money for.

Is the pool heated and indoors? I have taken DD since she was about 6 months all year round and she has never gotten a cold from swimming. As long as the water is warm and you can get your LO dressed in a warm area it shouldn't make a difference where it's winter or summer imo.

I agree with the above however our issue is that even though they are a bit older they pick up all sorts of bugs at CC and they miss lots of lessons because they are sick anyway so it seems like a waste of $$... Seeing as he is so little and is already getting sick, combined with winter being renowned for all sorts of colds and flus I don't see the harm in holding off til Spring. JMO.

My DS has (touch wood) not got sick yet from swimming and he's been doing it since he was six months. The chlorine tends to kill any nasties. But, if he is getting sick a lot at the moment from day care then he will still have to miss the swimming so as Winter said you'd be missing lessons that you've paid good money for, ITMS.
