Underwater swimming doesn't suit everyone. Some people prefer classes where they can go and splash around and play with their child, which is fine. Most people agree that getting your baby used to water and starting baby swimming early on is one of the best starts you can give your baby.
Having a baby comfortable in the water is the first thing you can do to prepare your child to be safe in the water and to have a love of swimming. As parents we let our children forget the wonderful sensation of free-floating. It is important to expose your very young baby to the feeling of floating on water. We forget that babies spend their first nine months of life in water!
