hey!! Well me chad and chads dad went to
the pool and took him swimming in his
swimmers and trunks..we went to the kiddie
pool where it was kinda chilly and he
liked it a bit, but then when kids would
jump and splash he got upset i felt so bad
lol poor guy was scared, and cold, so we
asked the lifeguard if the hot tub was too
hot for him ( they have 2 hot tubs) and
one of them she said babies go in al lthe
time, so we took him in there and he had a
BLAST! he absolutly loved it! he was
basically floating all by himself and
stuff it was awesome! had soo muich fun!
So we're taking him again tuesday!
Anyways, thought id just share my
experience lol im so excited he loves it!
 No crying at all
yay!!! ttyl! (L)

not to be a downer, but i don't think you
should be bringing him into the hot tub.
they're usually kept above 100 degrees and
that's too hot for a baby and they can't
regulate their body temp like adults.
use your own judgement but please be
careful!

i know we've got a couple hot tubs around
here that they call "swirl pools" they
aren't hot hot but they're just nice and
warm. i'm sure if the lifeguard said it
was safe for babies then they would know
right? i've seen babies in the swirl pools
many times.

The lifeguard didn't actually say it was
safe for babies, he/she said babies went
in there all the time.

the lifeguard went to go ask someone like
who knew about that kind of stuff and said
it was fine, the temperature wasn't as hot
as the other hot tub at all, the other one
is like his bath temperature

I wasn't saying it was bad idea or
anything... I'm sure Ethan would love it.

well wouldn't u think that if it wasn't
safe for babies, they wouldn't let them go
in there all the time? the lifeguards
around here said they have no problem with
it. it's perfectly safe.

ok, these mildly hot "swirl pools" are
fine for babies. (i've never heard of
these.)
hot tubs/jacuzzis are not.

maybe it's just a british columbia thing.
or a canada thing. i'm seeing more and
more swirl pools around at the leisure
centres. which i think are very good ideas
