Most health visitors suggest after the baby has had all its jabs, but you can go as early as you like because pools have chlorine in them so that kills the germs in the water. I took my baby swimming at six weeks but a mum at my swimming class took their baby swimming at one week. It is whatever you feel happy with. I wouldn't suggest going in the sea until after all the jabs

Hi - i first took my lo when she was about a month old, I was told she didn't need to have her jabs, but some swimming pools prefer it if they've at least had their first set. ask at your local swimming pool

My health visitor told me they could go as soon as the cord had dropped off (so about 7 - 10 days). I decided not to take him until he was about 10 weeks old tho, and he loved it!

hi! i have been taking my son since he was 5 wks old. he tends to just float about taking everything in at the moment. its good exercise for me though. you dont need to wait until they have had there injections.

hiya my little boy is 8 wks and im looking forward to taking him swimming, but he still has some of his cord attached. the doctor says it will just fall off itself like the rest did but should i wait until this has happened before taking him in the pool?
