I introduce my boy to swimming pool when he was at 9mth. Of coz, my parents shout at me for being "cruel" because old ppl never see babies could go to the pool.
But basically being a parents should know when your child is ready.

Am lucky to have a baby who love water so much where he never make a single cry during bath and kicks water in his bb tub when he was just 10weeks old. We have a phrase last time "When he is in bad mood, bath him."

During his 1st swimming experiece, I brought a float which only tug in his 2 thighs. We teach him kick and soon enough he could drive his own boat happily. Once in a while we will take him out of the float and dug him in water.. started push him low til shoulder, then to neck and then head and up immediately. Motive is to make him brave. And he love it.
At that same day we saw a 2yr old little girl. She was screaming doesn't wanted to get into water.
So, I am not sure is because she is a girl vs mine is boy. Or 2yrs old is too old to have the bravery training. Because at age 2, they already know wat is dangerous and tend to scare easily compare to younger child.

I brought huggies swimming pants last time.
