Question 1

Can we bring two adults?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can take en extra person with you, but they have to stay on the side of the pool and look or take pictures, it does not cost extra.
But usually only one adult in the water. If there are not many in the group, it is sometimes allowed to have two adults in the water. It is always the teachers decision.
If both mother and father are at the pool together, then it is a good idea that the father takes the child, as there is usually better room in the men's changing rooms.

Question 8

Which swimwear should the child wear?

Accepted Answer

Aqua-baby would like all our customers to use a swimming nappy ( available at most supermarkets). Also swimming pants over the swimming nappy. This gives double protection.
The swimming pants have to be made of neoprene and with a high waist that sits tight to the childs body and it is important that the pants come down and fit tightly around the legs aswell.
We recommend Splash About swimming pants as they are the best on the market at the moment.
It is possible to buy the swimming pants online at Babygear.dk.

There are many who dress at the same time. Is there only one dressing room?

In the Hjortespringbadet (Herlev) and in Slagelse Svømmehal there is the possibility that after the mother/father has washed in there allocated changing rooms, your child can be washed and changed in a baby area by the swimming pool. Ask the instructor or lifeguard if you can not find it.
In Bolbro (Odense) there is a ladies and gents changing room, where there are facilities for changing and washing your children. There is also a family room that can be used if you would like to be two. Ask a lifeguard.
In Højme (Odense) there is only ladies and gents changing room, with a baby changing area.

Question 13

Can I take pictures at baby swimming?

Accepted Answer

Pictures may be taken while there is babyswimming, if everyone agrees. Ask the instuctor first.

Question 14

Can my child be in the water for 30 minutes?

Accepted Answer

If your baby is very small, then usually 15-20 minutes is enough for them.
Most babies will find that swimming is very tiring and they will give you signals to when they are ready to go up. 
Listen to your childrens signals as you know them best, and maybe the next time you come you can stay in the water a little bit longer.

Question 15

Can we start before my child is 10 weeks old?

Accepted Answer

We normally recommend that the child is 10 weeks or 5 kg. before they start.
If they are too small they very quickly become tired and cold and find it hard to concentrate.

It is something you have to evaluate yourself.

Question 16

Is it dangerous for my child to be in chlorine water?

Accepted Answer

It is a requirement of the Environmental Authorities that chlorine is added to the pool water as disinfection. Chlorine kills harmful substances that have come into the pool water from other users.
The chlorine in the water is not dangerous.  It is also not dangerous if your baby swallows some water - which the little one sometimes does. You should not be concerned about the risk of infection in the water. The water is filtered and disinfected.

Question 17

Can I park at the swimming pools?

Accepted Answer

Yes, parking is free at all swimming pools, prams can be brought in to the front hall,  but not into the changing rooms.

Question 18

My child has a cold. Can we still go swimming?

Accepted Answer

It's a bit of an individual assessment. Generally speaking, sick children and with a fever, are not allowed in the swimming pool.
A cold is a lot of things, and if it is a little common cold with clear snot, then I do not see problems in the child coming into the swimming pool. If the child is very snotty and the nose is blocked with green snot, then maybe swimming is not the best place to be.
