Thousands of babies across the world have been taken swimming prior to being immunised with no harmful effects.  The UK NHS immunisation website states you can take your baby swimming at any time, regardless of where they are with their inoculations.

The reason for this is that the water treatment procedures required for any public pool make the likelihood of transmitting infections extremely unlikely.  Couple this with the fact that the diseases against which your baby are being inoculated can’t actually be carried in chlorinated water and you can see why we’re pretty confident in suggesting that any time is a good time to start your baby in the pool.

However, as always, we want you to be entirely happy in our classes, so if you have any doubts then it’s absolutely fine for your baby to finish their immunisations before joining a class (but do make sure their name’s down on the waiting list in the meantime).
