I think it is great. We took our first daughter for lessons when she was 6 months and then 12 months and to this day she LOVES to swim and she is 7. My soon to be 5 year old never had lessons and really doesn`t like water.. She will go in a pool but just stand around..

We had a water birth for our son, and he`s been in and out of pool`s regularly since birth (he`s now 7 months) he loves it and we have a lot of fun together for me that makes it worth taking him. :)

My now 5 year old has a May birthday and was in the pool and lake within his 1st month. The water is not going to hurt a baby and most find it really relaxing. Like summerisis`s daughter he was swimming at 20 months...okay okay she beat me by 4 months :)

I voted I think it`s great although mine couldn`t ACTUALLY swim on her own until this summer, she was 3. I couldn`t afford to pay someone to teach her, and I`m not a very good swimmer myself, so was always to scared to let her try it without floaties. I think the sooner the better!

I don`t think its a BAD thing, but it`s quite expensive. I`m going to wait until my son is at an age where he can communicate, and understand instructions. My SIL says lessons for babies (and I mean 4-12 months) teaches them to swim to the side of the pool if they fall in. I find it difficult enough trying to get my son to blow his nose so I`d like to see how a swimming instructor can get him to swim to the side of a pool... But I'll be taking my son to the local pool in the toddler area for fun and to get him familiar with water.

i think it`s wonderful. my daughter`s been swimming since she was 16 months old.



That's my daughter after 8 days of lessons... she still had 22 days left to learn. :D The classes are AMAZING!

i would have started taking my daughter swimming sooner if she had been born at a warmer part of year but the first time she went swimming she was 4.5 months old when we went to florida for a month and she loved it. started going regularily at home when the snow melted off the ground. did baby swimming lessons started at 7 months just to learn some fun things to do and how to help teach her to `swim`. we go every friday night and i think its great for babies.
