Guidelines for Introducing Babies to Swimming

Under 1 Year Old: The American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend formal swim lessons for infants younger than 12 months, as there's no evidence that these programs reduce drowning risk for this age group. However, parent-child water play classes can be a fun way to help babies get accustomed to the water. These sessions are intended for enjoyment and bonding, not for teaching survival skills .

Around 6 Months Old: Many pediatricians suggest waiting until a baby is at least 6 months old before introducing them to a pool. At this age, babies typically have better head control and have received initial vaccinations, making it safer for them to be in a pool environment .

Water Safety Tips for Babies

Supervision: Always maintain close, constant supervision when your baby is in or near water. Even shallow water can pose a drowning risk.

Water Temperature: Ensure the pool water is warm enough—ideally around 89.6°F (32°C)—to prevent hypothermia in infants .

Time Limits: Limit your baby's time in the water to avoid overexposure. Start with short sessions and gradually increase as your baby becomes more comfortable.

Avoid Submersion: Do not submerge your baby's head underwater, as they are not developmentally ready to hold their breath voluntarily.

Post-Swim Care: After swimming, rinse your baby to remove chlorine or other chemicals and apply a baby-friendly moisturizer to protect their skin.

Remember, while introducing your baby to water can be a delightful experience, safety should always be the top priority. Consult with your pediatrician to determine the best time and approach for your baby's introduction to swimming.
