Safe Swimming Temperatures for Babies: Keeping Your Little One Comfortable in the Pool
It’s all about the right temperature for a safe and fun swim!
At Lemonade Collective, we want every swim to be a positive experience for you and your baby. Our saltwater pool is always kept at a comfortable 86°F, which is perfect for your little one’s first splash in the water. But did you know that there are specific temperature guidelines depending on your baby’s age and weight? Let’s break it down!
Safe Swimming Temperatures for Babies
As a general rule, babies are more sensitive to temperature fluctuations than adults. So, when it comes to swimming, it’s important to make sure the water is the right temperature for your baby’s age and size:
Babies under 12 lbs. and 12 weeks old: Should swim in a pool that’s 89.6°F or warmer.
Babies over 12 lbs. and 12 weeks old, up to 1 year: A comfy 86°F+ pool is perfect for your little one.
Toddlers over 1 year old: They can enjoy pools set at 84.2°F and above.
How Our Saltwater Pool Supports Baby Swimmers
Our 86°F saltwater pool creates the ideal environment for Baby & Me swims. We designed it to keep babies comfortable and safe in the water while offering a soothing and gentle experience.
At Lemonade Collective, we recommend starting Baby & Me Swims once your baby is 12 weeks old or weighs at least 12 lbs. to ensure they’re ready for the experience.
