I stayed at a hotel this weekend and seeing the pool made me think of taking DS in it. He loves his bath and I'm curious to see what he would do if we just floated him on the surface and stood him up on the top step or something. My question is...what should he wear? I assume they make swim diapers? Where do you get them? Also, what kind of effect does the chlorinated water have on LO's skin?
We're back home now, but I would love to take him to a pool sometime.

They have disposable swim diapers at Target and Walmart. I got a reusable Bummis one from Amazon for about the same price as a pack of those. I also bought LO an iplay swimsuit that has a built in diaper.
We took her into a public pool a few weeks ago when we were on vacation. She didnt seem to notice she was even in a pool to be honest. This summer, I'm definitely taking her to my pool at my apartment complex that barely gets used.
Francesca Pearl is here! Josephine Hope is almost 3!
Thanks! Good to know he wasn't missing out on anything and nice to know where to get the dipes if I need them in the future.
walmart sells reuseable swim diapers in the same section where they sell the swimsuits that have the floaties built in them and pool toys. they cost $5 and they fit Joy very nice.
We've been taking DS to swimming lessons once a week for two months now. He seems to like it! It really tires him out!
The pool we go to is strictly for babies / children and is not chlorinated. From what I understand, 'they' recommend not putting babies into chlorinated water until they are 6 months old.
