How do you clean baby after swimming lessons?

Heya, I have started swimming classes in UK and I'm really struggling after the swimm to give her a shower as the facilities don't have baby baths. I have searched different facilities before choosing this one and none of them had it. I find a massive struggle, what other mamas doing after swimm?

I was in Portugal for 3 months and the swimming pool had baths, it was heaven. Why doesn't UK have the same? I think it's genius!

I really don't know how to go about it, and I know how important it is to remove the chlorine after swimming lessons. Any tips or advice?

I swim with my partner and 1 person holds the baby and the other washes we have family change rooms here in Australia but that seems to work pretty good for us

We just dress him after swimming and take him home and bath him.

Is there no stand up showers? Are there disabled facilities? Have never seen anything like this! For a little baby I’d just hold them with one arm and rinse them off with the other.

I just hold him and rinse him off under the poolside showers

I just jump in the shower holding her

Just bath her at home? If you were abroad would you shower her everytime she was in and out of a pool?
She'll be fine until you get home.

Rinse him off in the shower then bath when home or if I'm going out afterwards I'll sit on the floor with him on my lap and wash him.
Those baths would be fantastic here, as long as they got cleaned well.

Go home and get in the bath

We just bath our little one at home and he hasn’t had any issues 😊

I take a large cup and hold her next to the water stream but not under it. I reach up to the shower head, fill the cup and rinse her off with that. It’s too broad a spread of water to wash her under a shower at our swimming baths.

we just used tepid water in a flask and used wipes to wipe our LG down when changing her, then when we get home give her a bath

Avatar

As many other have said we just bath her at home 😊

Same as others
I hold her in the shower with me and now she can stand next to me
She wear crocs in the showers as the floors can be gross

Then when we come home we have a proper scub down and wash

We’ve been going to lessons at a private pool so they don’t have shower facilities and we just bath her at home x

Avatar

We just dry off then bath when home. It's less stressful for a start x

We dress him after swimming and give him a bath when we’re home

Bath at home

Avatar

Rinse off in the shower and have a proper wash at home, is what we do

Avatar

We just bath our little one in the evening like we usually would. I did this with my first too and we never had any issues with skin or anything

Avatar

Take a water gallon with you and just rinse or dress up and shower after you get home

Avatar

I take him home after class. I Don’t trust those bathrooms

Avatar

Just give your kid a full bath when you get home and use wipes temporarily

Avatar

😩😩😩 honey! Is it too much to ask for? We live in a town so the nearest one is 30 min away and by the time we get home, he’s fast asleep
I don’t know why there aren’t any showers

Avatar

this is why I take the cup!

Avatar

I just dried him off and got a bath at home

Avatar

Rinse them off in the showers or we just get in the bath when we get home.

Avatar

I’ve done swimming lessons with both of my girls from 3 weeks old, we just have a bath when we get home later in the day. Never had any issues both have amazing skin. We just make sure they are really dry before dressing so I have 2 towels with me.

Avatar

Think communal baths are a bit odd imo - I’d deffo bathe them again at home anyway! I just quickly shower off with mine then sort us both out at home properly

Avatar

I take her in to the shower cubicle we have a rinse off, then undress her put her swimming suit on the floor then her on top. Quickly wash my hair and self then pick her up wash her hair etc then we're done 😊

please explain the cup 🥲
