Talk me through going swimming with babies

[DoILookThrilled]

We are meant to going to Centre Parcs this spring with our twin babies. What kind of swimming nappies / outfits and flotation aids would you suggest?

We use a disposable swim nappy, a happy nappy fabric reusable nappy on top, then a fleece lined all-in-one in one on top. If the pool is warm enough you might not need the all in one.

We don't use flotation aids but she has been to Water Babies classes since she was 4 months, they don't use anything there so we are used to it.

Also another vote for swim nappy & then a happy nappy on top - we just got a short sleeved wetsuit which looks pretty good!

CP pool very warm compared to other pools so that's a plus, what age will they be

Same as above. Vinted is great for this stuff, they grow out of it quickly. We don't use flotation aids, we hold DC in the water as that's what we do at baby swimming and it feels safest.

Disposable swim nappy for definite, most pools won't let babies in without one.
The bodysuit wetsuit type things over the top are good too, babies lose heat in the water quickly so a wetsuit keeps them warmer for longer.

My only tip is don't put the swim nappy on too early - they hold poo but not wee.

That’s what l have heard 🤞. They will be coming up to a year old
