Rule #1 - Avoid bad pool practices. Dangling baby over the pool makes them feel insecure and uncomfortable. Safe pool practices start at birth.

Rule #2 - Water should be introduced to baby or infant over their face in a gentle non intrusive manner

Rule #3 - Babies should always feel secure in the water, don’t break their trust by letting them go.

Rule #4 - You should not be submerging  your baby unsupervised.  You would not drive a car without lessons and swimming is no different.
