Swim classes

[wandsandwine]

Anyone doing swim classes for LO? We have a free trial next week

[mrsnorris]

Not yet, but I want to start at six months. We have a pool in our yard so I want her swimming as young as possible! I'd love to hear how it goes!

[daisylola11]

That sounds like fun! I would if I found some around my area, DS has loved splashing in the bath.

But then I think, shit that means bathing suit for me postpartum :/

[briarrose]

We are going to start sometime after 6 months. There is a winter/spring session and a spring/summer so I'm not sure which one we will be doing yet.

[inaya]

I'm planning on it but I don't know of any around here that start until spring. My parents have a pool, so we're planning to utilize that this summer, too.

I started a couple weeks ago with my LO. He loves it. Runs for half an hour every Thursday. Don't do anything too exciting. But it gets me outta the house!

[sherrybaby2014]

Looking into three different places in our area! Planning to start in February. Very excited!

We are going to sign up in a month or two, but I think H is going to do it with him! We have a pool, so having LO learn the infant safety floating technique is very important to us.

we've gone to 2 classes & it's going well so far. 30 minutes. Only 1 other kid/parent in our classs, but more could join.
we sing songs & do motions or skills.

She did better week 2 & was underwater for about 3 seconds.

We're planning to start in March at a local YMCA. I'm looking forward to it!

[professorbinns]

I haven't signed up for classes but we have been going to the pool about once a week or so since 6 weeks old. He loved it!

[redhorizon343]

Based on LO's reaction to a bath, I think it best to wait and feel it out later.

[wickednomnoms]

Not yet, but was thinking of signing up for sometime in the spring. We have a pool so it would be nice for him to get used to being in the water. He loves bath time so I'm hopeful! Even though swimming lessons are inside, the thought of putting bathing suits on and getting in the water with snow on the ground seems wrong. Maybe I'm just weird

[gingy]

There's an indoor pool locally that has some starting in March and others that run every few weeks all through summer. Which means I need to get my butt to the gym and start a swimsuit search now.

[weeklyplanner]

Starting in February. I hope it goes well!

[lauraborealis]

We haven't started lessons yet either, but DD has been in the pool a handful of times over the last 2 months and she loves it!

[kimberlyb]

I did water babies with DD when she was around 6 months but she seemed pretty ambivalent about it. The time of the class conflicted with her nap schedule though so I think she would have enjoyed it more had she been well rested. If I can find a class with a time that works I may try to take some with DS in the next few months.

We're gonna start at 6 months because that's the earliest age we can sign up. I'm excited, I love swimming and she loves baths, so I hope she likes swimming too. It'll be nice to get out of the house and do something fun together! It's an indoor facility with heated pools so that's a huge plus.

[those3words]

A place near us starts them at two months. We started him within a few days of turning 2 months. I work an extra (hobby) job on Sunday mornings - so DH takes him. They both love it. It is a Daddy/Mommy & Me class.

Side note - I was off last Sunday and I went with them. The instructor said, "Time for Ring Around the Rosey" and DH looked at me and said "Oh, you don't know these words - they are different. Follow me!" DH, who isn't a natural kid person, was leading most of the songs. It was really cute to see DH so excited about it.

[gahorseygal]

Hoping to start soon! LO will be 6 months next week so just gotta run it by hubs again so I can call and get her signed up. I'm excited, she loves baths and I think she will love it! Looking forward to lots of pool time this summer.

[lingchow8655]

not yet but i would like to if i can find a place that does it

[eena1242]

We've had him in the pool before, but we are starting a class with him next month. I can't wait!!!

[khopec]

We were supposed to start this month but DH waoted too long to pick a day and the evening class filled up. That said we plant o start in March, the next time the class is offered. We have a boat so my deal with DH is swim class as early as possible if he wants to be play ont he water this summer. I love hearing what your LO's reactions are to it.
