7 Tips to Make Your Baby's First Swim (& All the Ones After) Go Swimmingly for Everyone! by Mei Marcie

Baby’s first swim is an exciting and fun time for parents. But it's also a good idea to expose kids to swimming early for safety reasons. 

• Consider swim diapers and a body-protecting swimsuit for your baby. 
• Apply sunscreen if swimming outdoors.
• Be ready to bring your baby to a shower or bath immediately after to remove the chlorine from their sensitive skin. 
• Be sure to keep Baby (and yourself) sufficiently hydrated before, during and after the swim. 
• Babies tend to be hungry and tired after a swim, so be prepared with whatever you need to soothe them. 
• Infant floats are a great way to introduce Baby to the water. But never leave them unattended in a float!
• Always supervise children when around water!

Get some rest after your fun dip in the pool. You and Baby will probably need it!
