It is perfectly safe to put your baby underwater, assuming there are no unusual medical circumstances. We begin by submerging babies no more than a few seconds at a time and no more than 3 times per class until we are certain they have developed breath control and are not swallowing the water. As always, if you have a specific concern, please consult your pediatrician.
