Poll: How often do/did you take your toddler swimming?
Comments:
My son (23 months) loves to go to the "beach" - aka the town pond. he runs in the sand down to the water. He likes the beach more than a pool because he can control how deep he goes...I think he feels restrained in a pool...he'd much rather run around at his own pace. :)

We have an inground swimming pool and Addy just loves it! I take her in it about everyday and she loves to kick her feet.
We try to take our son once a week and some weeks it's 3xs because we go swimming over the base with his cousin and sometimes with his godparents and their girls.
she is only 10 months but loves the water and her float we live on a lake plus we have tons of beaches nearby sometimes we go 3 times a week depends on the weather
there's nothing our son (10 mo.) loves more than when we go down to the ocean. He gets such a kick out of the waves. He also loves the pool and the bath- we can't get him in the water enough for his liking!
My daughter loves the water, but I haven't taken her much. Probably in the spring when it's warming up again and since she'll be a little bit older, we'll likely go more.
