Hi everybody,
I am new in Hongkong and trying to find a place to have swimming classes with my 8 months old daughter and which can be reached by subway since I am all the way out at Gold Coast. Who knows a place and can help me? Does anyone has experience in Babyswimming? How is it? I am worried my baby will be too scared though she likes water, but not over the head.
Thanks

Swimming at 10 weeks

Hi, I can't answer your question regarding swimming classes for babies here.

However I did start swimming classes in NZ with my little girl when she was 11 weeks, and she loved it. I loved it as well as she got tired very quickly from all the new stimulation (slept for ages).

The classes were based around songs and nursery rhymes. Before we left she had learnt to close her mouth and eyes before going under water, she was 20 weeks old by that stage.

.:gl: finding a class, I'm gonna keep a look out it was great fun at home. Perfect place to meet other mums as well
 
The YMCA in TST has swimming classes. Heated pool and only $590 for 10 sessions. This term has just started so you may want to sign up for the next one which I think is in March or April. We did a term in September when my baby was 10 months and I think we'll sign up again for the next round.
 
Thanks

Hi there, sorry, I did not check my messages at geobaby for ages even though I posted this question. Thanks anyway for your answer and maybe you have heard of a place yet. Are you planing on going back to swimming classe with your child?
Thanks

Question: Swim Diapers

Question:

Swim Diapers.

We have some, and they contain the poo, but not the wee.

Is this a problem for pools? As far as I can tell, nothing can contain the wee because if they absorb water, they would absorb the pool water and just get really heavy - so they all seem to only contain the poo.

We have a 1 month old, and we want to start taking him to the indoor heated pool to get him used to the water - he LOVES the warm bath, so we think he will really like this a lot.

Any advice? Feed and Poo before going swimming, don't get his face wet at first, anything else?

Thanks
 
We're planning to try HWI in a few weeks. It's more $$ than YMCA, but the hours and location are better. Also HWI is 4 months, while YMCA is 6 months.
 
Fly, Would love to know how your little one enjoys the classes. It's a shame they don't offer a trial class. It's a lot of money to pay if your baby decides s/he doesn't like it.
 
Huggies Little Swimmers are waterproof swim nappies for babies/toddlers.

I started swimming with my baby in the UK at the waterbabies class when she was 3 months and she loves the waters, its amazing watching her swim under the water for a few seconds and swim up on her own.

I'll be in HK in March 2010, does anyone know of any baby swimming classes near Tai Po area?

Thanks
 
Re: Swim Class

Hi There,

Did you manage to find a swimming class for babies in Tai Po?
I live in Tai Po too, my baby is 3 months and would like to look for swim classes for him too.
