Yes we went when she was 12 weeks! Most pools want you to do a swim nappy plus a reusable ‘happy nappy’ over the top. Happy nappy make swimsuits with the nappy built in or else do swim nappy (like huggies) then happy nappy pants then swimsuit. We got a long sleeve one from h&m and brought a little dressing gown for her plus two towels- one for pool side and one to lie on when in changing room as they can get cold easily.

We’ve been to classes since about 8 weeks. Same as the other commenter has said, we’ve had huggies swim nappies (disposables) then a thick ‘happy nappy’ on top. I also use a wrap to keep her extra warm. Loads of people are selling happy nappies, full cossies etc on vinted.

We've been going since my little one was 5 weeks old, swimming nappy by huggies, towel and change of clothes. We have been swimming at a private pool

We've been going since LB was 8 weeks. Same as above to bring pretty much xxx

We went today for the first time, he just wore a swim nappy and then a long sleeve swimsuit, took 2 baby towels (1 to lay him on and 1 to dry with) and obviously nappy/clothes for after x

Took my little girl, she had a reusable nappy, I also bought her a swimming costume and ring but she never used the ring as she only stayed in my arms. We've been twice and she's lasted about 15minutes before she hated it 🤣 I think she confused why everyone is in a big cold bath with her!

Yes little one loves swimming. Just don't make the same mistake as me... the swim nappies don't absorb water, there literally for poos, I attempted to take her "swim ready" and found out the hard way, wee everywhere 🤣 xx

I always take my litten swimming he loves it, I buy Huggies swimming ones, he only spends bout 45 minutes init but loves it x

Yes my wee one is 19 weeks and we've been taking him from 5 weeks. I just use a disposable swim nappy and at first just held him but now have a little ring for him now thst he's more sturdy. Also wears a full length swim suit and we take a towel to side of pool for getting out. X

Yea we did a few weeks ago and he loved it. We used Huggies swim nappies and his swim suite all in one which is thermal. I wore my costume underneath to make the changing quicker.

Check temp of pool before you go as many pools are too cold for babies x
