Is there any place or people in KL who teach infants swimming lessons? Baby 4 months old.

IMHO, early swimming lesson has more pros than cons. Anyway, tomorrow will be lesson 1. Let's see how it turns out.

After lesson 1, it is more than just 'get a float and play in a swallow pool.' and ' buy swimsuit, buy float, play away. drunk whole head in '.

I am glad to say my baby loves the water and was able to float himself after 20 minutes. Not bad for a 4 month old.

Lesson held in a normal pool, not in the shallow baby pool for 1 hour. Only the below float was used.

Swim suit and swim diapers are 2 different items. Swim suit to keep warm but swim diapers for poo. Swim suit not a necessary unless water is cold.

Mine is held at Cheras, taught by http://www.facebook.com/SoccerTeamErikaPeres. I searched and asked around, not easy to find instructors in KL.

After the 1st lesson, I tried at home swimming pool, my LO absolutely loves it but he vomited after 30 minutes because we fed him 10 minutes before his swimming. Lesson learned, feed him 1.5 hours-2 hours before his swim.

Later today, lesson 2.

Huggies swimming diapers cost around $30 for 10 pieces, not cheap. I wonder if there are alternatives.

I agree with glenelg, my purpose to let LO learn to swim to primarily for safety and secondly to let the LO burn off some energy. LO sleeps like a log after swimming.

Take a look at cold storage, or if you are in KL, Bangsar Village's grocer. Usually shops serving expatriates will carry such diapers.
