    I guess the biggest worry besides water-borne diseases would be the chlonination or chemicals used to keep the water free from those diseases. Depending on how his skin is. I honestly didn't think too much about it... Matilda was in a pool from week 8 I think, mid winter LOL, we always had a shower straight afterwards & a massage after with moisturiser... but she started swimming lessons at 4 months. She loves the water now and begs to go swimming. We haven't done swimming lessons in ages so we have to start up again soon.

    Kaitlyn had her first swim when she was about 4months old in the sea...but she started in a pool about 5months. If you are worried check with your peadiatrician perhaps.
