thanks girls for your replies, i was in town today and found one in woolworths and it was a bargain at 3 pound!

Hi,

You can take your baby swimming at any time, you dont have to wait for jabs. Sometimes some pools or special swimming classes ask for them to be immunised but my HV said the sooner you start them the better. We took Elliot last week he was 8 weeks and absolutely loved it, although he did look really tiny in his little happy nappy compared to all the other kids. Cant wait to go again this week...

Good luck... 

I was told you can take them as soon as they have the first jabs but not 100% on that one maybe ask HV xx

While this post is going about I'll ask as opposed to startin a new one, at what age can you take them swimming?? Riley's 7 weeks on sat and I'm dying to take him, I have little swimmers all ready 4 him lol xx

I was in Mothercare yesterday and they had some in the sale and some full price.

i bought one from next last year for ds and that was 3-6mths so will do girls too and hopefully in 0-3 too

Hi,

I have just bought my little boy a splashabout happy nappy which is absolutely brilliant for keeping everything in when teamed with little swimmers and are UPF 50+, they are recommended by swim schools like waterbabies etc... I know they have ones in girl designs/colours and also do other swim suits etc... and they are quite reasonably priced - £7.99 for ours. Worth a look.

Boots have them - they are all in the sale at the moment for £3.00 !!!!

I know Mothercare do them. I bought one from Adams! I bought a gorgeous Dora the explorer one. Lovely and pink! Only cost £6. i bought it 6-9 mths. but they had every other size. Even NB. Hope that helps!!

i know its a bit late in the year to be looking for one but we are going away on a haven holiday at the end of the month and are hoping to take fibi swimming.  i have looked around and cannot find a costume in 0-3 months, does anyone know where i might find one?

thanks mandy x
