Taking baby swimming

[natalie_1982]

This might be a daft question but I hope someone can put me straight....

I hope to take my baby swimming sometime this weekend but I was wondering where I leave the pram / pushchair whilst we are in the pool? I obviously need to have her in it to get her to the pool and back, but can't think where you would leave it and don't want it getting pinched! I could wait til my hubby is home and take the car but then what would I do with the car seat? What do you with with yours at your local pool? Thanks

Why not phone them and ask? This must happen all the time, and I know when mine were tiny I needed the pushchair to keep the littleun safe while I dried off the bigger one. A similar solution will apply to how they accommodate wheelchairs.

Thank lil o'lady, I have to call them about something else anyway so will ask when I do that. I was just wondering - it's amazing the things you don't consider before you have a little someone to think about!!

They have a place where you can chain them up at my sports centre but before that I would just leave it in the changing room. They will probably have somewhere secure you can leave it and should have family change cubicles with somewhere to put the baby so you don't actually need the pram at the poolside. Mine has a little seat on the wall that baby can be fastened into and playpens.

I actually needed to strap the soandso in cos he'd be under the cubicle door and off like greased lightning

our pool allows you to leave them at the side of the pool by the seats where spectators sit. you can see them from all parts of the pool
