Swimming lessons for babies? yes, why not? When we were younger, (I grew up in the tropics, where there are 7107 islands and the beaches are just ten minutes away from the house), we just walk and then we have fun swimming almost everyday during summers and off school days. We grew up literally in water. There is no other way to go, except to the waters. We learned to swim on our own with batches of children going to the beaches, you gotta learn how to swim and you will be the laughing stock of other children. When I migrated here in the US, swimming lessons is one of the ways to learn swimming and we use the pool. Good thing is that for children and babies, the teachers are good and accommodating. There are places where you can enroll your babies for swimming lessons -- parent with babies together.
As children grows older and can understand instructions and speak well, then they can have full swing swimming lessons. Babies swimming lessons are a good way to start learning the basics of swimming specially floating and techniques of swimming. There are swimming lessons for babies which are available at YMCA and other swimming school within the area.

Why Use Reusable Swim Diaper?
The use of reusable swim diaper is also suggested because you buy only one time and you can use it again. The reusable swim diaper was recommended by a friend to me, I use to buy the commercial ones which are disposable swim diapers. The thing with reusable swim diaper is that you can buy another one again as they grow older and their sizes change. It is economical and easy to use. This reusable swim diaper can also be adjusted. It is also best even if you are not in swimming lessons but just simply swimming with the family.

I'm old school. Just throw them in when they are very young. The nasal reflex kicks in and they float to the top quite easily and without any problems.
Saves a lot of time and energy later on.
these days we are too busy molly coddling children. Killing all the germs that they need to get immunity. Rapping them up in cotton wool and not letting them out 'cos the bogey-man will get them. Waiting 'til they get older to start swimming lessons.
Good hub but wasted on me.
Sorry.
Good hub! I'd recommend swimming for babies. They get used to the water, right away. And those swim diapers are the best thing since sliced bread.
This presentation was excellent as is all your hubs. Personally, swimming babies make me a little nervous.
Thanks for sharing,
Forever His,
Miata, I have heard of babies swimming so young and I think it is fine as long as you are right there if there is a problem. Interesting hub.
I wish swim diapers had been around when my babies were babies. They'd have learned to swim much younger :)
Fascinating hub. I will tell my daughter about this one. My grand daughter is ready to learn how to swim.
Ah pretty is back..and just in time. Excellent information as always, on teaching babies to swim. Sure beats the way my dad taught me, at a year old he threw me in the water. .and that was all she wrote! Thumbs up:)
I was in a hotel pool last month, where a mother had the kid in a cloth diaper in the pool... I got out quick!!!!
great post, Maita!!!
Well put-together information with all the pros and cons. Well done
I would say there are some situations in which baby swimming lessons really would be an excellent idea. If you live near a lake or river, or have a pool, it really only makes good sense to provide baby swimming lessons at a very young age. And it certainly couldn't hurt others to be physically and mentally learning in this fun way.
Sure we used to throw kids in the deep end and see what happened, but more structured baby swimming lessons might be a kinder, less terrifying experience for the babe!
Ate Maita dear: If we stop and think about it common sense should tell us that swimming for a baby would be a natural progression, as baby spends its first nine months of life and growth, inside the womb suspended in water inside mommy's womb. Think about it?
KUYA Dave.
The commercial video was so cute! Although, I must admit that the second video really startled me - when they just pushed the baby in there. I literally gasped! Haha. I did hear that babies are natural swimmers. It's amazing to actually see it. Thanks for showing me that.
How cool is this...Swimming Lessons for Babies :: The Use of Reusable Swim Diapers :: Swimming Lessons Videos for Babies is a great resource and now with the older siblings going back to school nows the perfect time to teach baby to swim. Thanks :)
Maita, this is a wonderful hub! Babies belong in water safely. Love the water diaper, who Knew? As always, another cool one!

I taught my kids when they we toddlers. I love the reusable swim diapers. Great idea.
Swimming Lessons for babies is an awesome plan. I was a swim instructor myself, so I taught my kids as soon as I felt comfortable taking them into the pool.
I wish they had reusable swim diapers when my kids were little! Great idea for new moms and dads!
I taught my daughter to swim at just 8 months old, she was swimming long before she walked and loved it!
Cute hub. I really enjoyed the videos. Watching these babies swim makes me smile. I remember when my nephew had his first dive on the swimming pool, everyone is happy.
I have no recollection of how I learned to swim. I only remember that I did it from an early age. Very well laid out hub!
Yes all children need to be able to swim and teaching them when they are babies is the best idea. The reusable swim diapers are fantastic!
I've heard that some babies are delivered in a pool of water as an option for the mother in order to make giving birth easier on the mother because of the support water gives at a certain level that will support the mothers body during the birthing process with the added benefit of allowing the baby to learn to swim immeadiately upon being delivered.Saltwater provides more floatation than plain tap water.epson salts has magnesium in it which also helps relax the muscles.
I jumped into the deep end of the pool determined to swim or drown. I don't recommend my way of learning. Great hub Maita!
I think that it is important to get babies used to the water. By getting them in the water at a young age it may eliminate fears of water in the future and it could make them stronger swimmers as they get older. Great hub!
