Many health professionals and doctors now agree that infants as young as 1 month can be taken to the pool. They also say that initiating children early on to water can be beneficial to them learning to swim. So now you can have fun with your young children in the pool and also have fun choosing the right swimwear for them. Most retailers sell swimwear for toddlers beginning from the age of 3 to 12 months. It is rather difficult to find swimwear for newborns who are less than 3 months.
This may not pose a problem for most parents, as the natural consensus is that children as young as that would be far better swimming without any clothes on. There are many choices of swimwear for children and one of them is swim diapers. This is especially ideal for parents who are worried about 'accidents' that might happen in the pool. Although chlorination of the pool water would take care of any side effects of any 'accidents', parents are still unsure of the consequences. This was especially true if their infants had an 'accident' that was solid waste in nature.
Parents were embarrassed that this might happen and thus refrained from taking their infants to the pool. Thus, swim diapers were introduced. These are cotton cloth lined and are made with a polyurethane material. These diapers can be machine washed and dry-able and put the parents' minds at ease in case their infants were to 'go' in the pool. These diapers can be bought from online retailers or from most stores. There are also flotation devices that help keep children afloat and among these is the popular, 'water wings'. They fit on the arms and help to keep your child afloat. In this way, they can play in the water and splash around having fun.
These are usually not advisable or suitable for infants under 12 months of age. Although there are flotation devices for younger infants, it is recommended that infants of such a young age should be accompanied by their parents at all times. Other options are trunks and swimsuits for children. These types of swimwear are typically full body suits and are similar to the ones worn by adults and older children. In addition, you can also find wetsuits and for the girls, there is the ever popular one or two-piece swimsuits.
You can also buy UV swimwear. These types of swimwear are made with specialized fabric materials that offer UV protection. Another essential for toddlers is to ensure that if the pool is an outside pool, that hats are worn to cover the fact, neck and ears. Cancer can be caused by over-exposure to the sun's rays and one of the ways to avoid this exposure is to be cautious and wear protective clothing. One thing that should never be overlooked is the importance of sunscreen. Since infants' skin is extremely sensitive, sunscreen must be applied to avoid any incidents of sunburn. With all of these in mind and a wide selection of swimwear for toddlers now available, you and your toddler should have no trouble having a fun time at the pool.
