It is never too early to get your baby or child in the water. In fact, many moms start extra early by giving birth in the water! Truthfully, the soonest you can get your child in the water the better. After being in the womb, babies often find the floating sensation of the swimming pool soothing and very pleasant reminder of their nine months inside mommy. It is easy to nurture and develop this love simply by making regular trips to the pool.

If it’s not feasible or possible to start your infant in the water, start when you can but remember that the longer you wait, the more difficult it will be. A two year old will often do better than a three old, and a three year old better than a four year old.
