The toweling robe is a excellent idea thank you

We start our aquababies lessons on wednesday and now i really want a towelling robe for me, as i can see that being so handy!

Thanks everyone for your very useful advice.

Swimming went really well. I was a bit late (typical) so getting ready was a bit manic but Lola loved it. She didn't cry and was really chilled. She even seemed to enjoy the quick dip under water that the teacher did with her. Can't wait for next week now, now I know what to expect and take.

Hopefully Lol will love it too!

I'd say take your towel to the side of the pool.
Limit the first session to 10-15mins; the swimming teacher said not to wait until they start to cry!
Have milk ready or be prepared to breast feed because I think swimming makes them hungry.
I wrap Joe in a towel then get myself changed. He's a warm baby so doesn't get too cold. I can get him sorted better if I am dry!
And enjoy it!!!

Hope to see you Friday at bumps and babies
