Is It Advisable To Train Infants To Swim?

I m having a little girl in July and I have a 0-3m swim suit but there is controversy over weather or not I can put her in her small inflatable baby pool with a top to keep the sun off her after she looses her cord. So my question is, is it safe to do so?

Hello,

I don’t really recommend to do it. She might get any infection and she is so little. Just wait sometime for her to grow a little more.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
