Quoting !*MySonIsMyWorld*!:" When is it safe to take a baby into a public chlorinated pool what age?"

I heard it was after their first jabs? lol. No idea though. Just commenting so i can follow this   Wanna take Dexter swimming soon  .

i took sophie swimming at 6 months

Took DD at 9 months. Can't keep her away or out of anything containing water. She's a little fish.

I took DS at 9 or 10 months. Can't remember which.

I took Cecily when she was about 5 months. She done fine.

We also started swimming lessons at 6 months. I have heard some lessons start as early as 6 weeks though. I don't think there is an official guideline, but depending on how chubby your baby is, they probably won't enjoy it until they can maintain their body temp well...
My girls are almost 9 months and still only enjoy the therapy pool at our pubic pool, which is kept much warmer than the bigger pool.

Over here, you can take them from birth since polio isn't a major concern anymore.

I took corey to the hot springs at 4 weeks(it wasnt hot just warm) and to a really pool at 2 months. His doctor said it was fine.
