babies and swimming

[surprisenumber3]

I really should know this as I already have two DC's, but has been a while now since they were babies and was wondering how soon I will be able to take my baby swimming? (she's due next week!). Is it after the first injections or after all injections? I really can't remember.

Some people do wait for their babies to have their imms, but there's no reason to. I took my dd at 6 weeks old.

thanks 2cats, she will be around 8 weeks when we go on holiday and they have a lovely pool and I'm a swimming teacher so I can't wait to go swimming every day with the DS's but wondered what the score with the baby was!

There's no reason to wait for imms but some pools insist on it, either because they think it's important or simply as an arbitrary rule to prevent very young babies from being brought into the water
