Swim Baby Swim

We have started to expose baby S to the water when she was 4 months old. At the beginning, it was purely to expose her, but after we see how she loves the water, even on cold cold weather, it then becomes a routine and something that we look forward to each week!

Now, we bring her to swim almost every Monday, when Stanley don't work and I will do my best to end school on time and head back to bring her to swim in the evening at about 4p.m. to 5p.m..

We always swim at my parents' condo which is literally a stone throw away from our place. Seeing her smile and hearing her laughter during each swimming session is what makes us bring her back every Monday, no matter how tired we are!

To expose a baby to water, always start slow, carry them and walk in slowly; allowing them time to get use to the temperature and the sensation of the water against their skin. Give them time and space to explore and splash! Make swimming fun for them with toys and songs!

Baby S in her Swim Suit!

Tips: Buy Baby swim suit that are bigger in size but with halter neck so that they can wear it for a longer period of time! 

The first few time when she swim with just swim diaper as we have not got the swim suit yet. 

Swimming is part of sensory play.

It is great family bonding! 

Good physical activity for baby too!
