Some may think that it is too early to put a baby in a swimming pool at two months old, but I didn't see anything wrong with it. We went to Hot Springs this weekend to visit our family. My dad got his swimming pool heated up to around 88 degrees just for Kennedy. I waited until the sun started going down because I did not want her to get a sunburn. At first she was a little nervous about being in the water, but she adjusted quickly. We bought her an infant life jacket that is a little big for her now, but she will grow into it. She enjoyed being in the pool. She is already a little water baby!! My goal is to teach her to swim at an early age. Obviously, it will not be at two months old, but I can still work on getting her adjusted to being in the water. It is amazing how quickly babies can learn things. I had heard that if you blow towards their mouth that they automatically hold their breath. This is how you begin to teach them how to hold their breath under water. Well, I found out that it works! Kennedy didn't even seem to mind at all being submerged under water for the approximate .25 second. I was nervous to try it at first, but she did great!! All the grandparents got tons of pictures of the swimming pool event. We are looking forward to our next swim!
