swim class

I am signing R and I up for a class at the Y....it says tight fitting plastic pants or little swimmers are needed.

Do they make swim diapers for little ones (20lbs and under)? Does he need a swim suit too? I have trunks for him for next summer, but they won't fit him yet.

I am excited, he loves the tub and splashing around....I hope he likes a pool!

    We are also starting swim lessons at the Y in January.  Huggies makes swim diapers for kids as small as 13 lbs.  I found them at Target.

    Buy Buy Baby has them - the iPlay brand.  The smallest is 6 months.  They come in the diapers or the trunks for boys (I'm guessing with built-in undies), but either should be fine alone.  What days are you doing it?  I am looking for a Friday swim class, but haven't checked out places yet.

    I definitely want to do this when E is a little older.  He loves his bath, so I would assume that he would like the pool.  Enjoy!!

    I started Ty in swim at 6 months (the minimum age) at a YMCA.  We went the first week in just a swimming diaper and they let us in but said he needed a swim suit for next time. 

    It is a little harder finding swim diapers this time of year but almost every place that carries diapers could have them.  I bought a ton last year from Price Chopper on clearance.  They still have some clearance packages at my local price chopper and they had some a Walmart the last time I was there.

    hmm. I thought when I looked they started at 18 lbs.. Cuz Eve was 12 lbs this summer.
    I have a yellow cloth swim diaper we used this summer.. I THINK it will be too small for Ryan now though.. but if I get around to it I will try to dig it out so you can try it. I have a pink one with ruffles too.. he might not like that one as much.
