Investing in baby swim wear and baby wetsuits will give you the peace of mind to really enjoy your waterbabies.

Research has shown baby and toddler swimming is stimulating and uplifting for a child's overall development.

"Swimming is an unique bonding experience between parents and babies. Not only does it give you great physical closeness, but it's also fantastic fun. Babies have freedom in water that they just don't get on land until they can move themselves." comments Aisling O'Donoghue, Founder of Baby Travel Shop.

"If you want to introduce your baby to the joys of water play and eventually to confident swimming, it's important that you start gently. Although your baby will have been in the bath, it won't have floated freely in the water before and, for young babies, you need to make sure you have warm, comfortable baby swimwear and that they have body contact with you at all times." Aisling continues.

Why invest in Baby Swimwear and Baby Wetsuits?

• Babies have reflex behaviour in water which can fade as early as three months of age if not used
• Waterbabies exercise more muscles than they do on land, helping their overall physical development
• Introducing your baby to water means they won't be fearful of learning to swim
• Water can help a baby's co-ordination and balance
• The gentle exercise helps appetite and stimulates quality sleep
• Babies love the dedicated attention and one-on-one time with their parents in the pool, and psychologists say the skin-to-skin contact deepens the parent/ child bond
• Investing in baby swim wear and baby wetsuits is a great way to build a baby's confidence and have fun.
