Yeah of course. Swimming is a great way of bonding with your baby and also being able to swm at a young age will keep him/her fit and healthy.

Most Health Visitors recommend waiting until after your baby has had their first course of immunisations (8 weeks) although Government guidelines suggest swimming in public pools does not pose a risk to younger babies as the chlorine kills off any potential threat, most obviously from polio.
As long as the pool is warm enough it's ok to take a baby of any age swimming. Do remember though, mums should not swim until after their 6 week check.
Most pools will not take babies unless they have had their first 3 courses of immunisations (12 weeks old).
