I did postnatal water therapy for mums & (easy water aerobics) with both my bubs at our hospital as long as u have had ur 6 week check up for vag or cs u can go.

Maternal health nurse said family pool 3 months public pool 6 months. But we took (hubby wanted to) at 4 months and he was so over whelmed (school holidays mind you!) and only lasted 15 mins so I dont really see the point but he did sleep for 2 hours!! Lol pain I think cos then you have to bath or shower him as well due to the chlorine.

I don't know the medically approved answer but if I have to guess I'd wait until they've had their first vaccinations as some pools can be a little festy :)

If you find out what a doctor says let us know. I'm a water baby and I'm so excited about the whole swimming with baby part!!!

Thanks everyone. I didn't mean for lessons as such, have just heard not to take bub swimming too early due to possible infections etc. I guess if lessons actually start from 3 months it can't be too big a deal!

Where my kids go they have baby play from 3-6 months then lessons from 6 months

You can take them swimming whenever, but I think lessons with aust swim only take from either 3 or 6 months.

I was wondering the same thing, would love to get bub in the water!
