What should my baby wear?

Your baby should have a disposable or washable aqua nappy underneath an outer nappy. This is our double nappy policy, to prevent accidents with small babies.

You can buy the nappies from us on day one of your course.

My baby has sensitive skin, what should I do?

You can apply a barrier cream sparingly and then put on a vest or baby grow to avoid the 'slip' factor. Always wash the skin and moisturise with something like E45, Vaseline or Aqueuos Cream after swimming.

What about feeding?

You should wait at least one hour after a feed before swimming.Try and feed after the lesson.

My baby needs immunisations. Can he swim?

We recommend waiting for 4 days in case they are poorly.

My baby is unwell, can she swim?

NO. If your baby is unwell with a temperature, cold, sticky eyes or an ear infection, please do not swim him / her. If in doubt please phone and speak to the office.

Babies and parents should also not swim if they are taking anti-biotics.
