Is it already ok for a 5-m.o baby to dip in a kiddie pool (with parents assistance of course)?

Here are some things to note if you are bringing your five-month old swimming: - ensure that your baby could be kept warm in the water (e.g., choosing a heated pool) - avoid pools with a lot of chemicals (if you could smell chlorine when you enter the pool area, it is likely too strong for your baby) - prepare swim diapers - hold your baby securely underneath the arms while in the water Swimming is a great sport and could be introduced early. Keep the session short, 10-15mins is good enough for a young baby. Have fun!
