Babies Take To Water Like Ducks

New wetsuits mean increased confidence instead of shivers and tears

Building water awareness and confidence in young babies is a very important part of teaching them to play safely in the water. If babies become confident in the water early on, learning to swim comes more naturally later.

But many babies lose body heat quickly in the pool or when paddling with mum and dad at the beach. Lips turn blue, tears and wailing begin, and an aversion to water can be developed.

Bubbaducks is the first and only Australian company to make available a wetsuit designed to keep babies warm and happy in the water, making life so much easier for parents who'd like their bubs to get water wise early on.

The wetsuits come in vibrant trendy colours. They're fashionable and cute, but more importantly they make babies feel at home in the water. They also help make young children easy to spot in the water from a distance.  The wetsuits fasten together with Velcro which means that not only are they really easy to get on and off, but they fit perfectly every time because they grow with your child.

Catherine Bradshaw, founder and owner of Bubbaducks says "I wanted to buy a wetsuit for my son who loves to swim but gets cold easily, but found they were almost impossible to get in Australia. There's no inspiration like your own little baby boy to get you going, so I started on the long road of creating Bubbaducks and making wetsuits available Australia wide."

She goes on to say "It's great to be in a business that provides such a worthwhile product. Even heated pools can be too cold for babies and young children, and with a wetsuit any child can swim all year long if they want too".

Bubbaducks wetsuits are available online at www.bubbaducks.com.au for any parent who wants their child to take to the water like a duck.
