We started our 6-month old in parent and me swim at the WestLA YMCA and she loved it! Classes are 30 minutes and include singing, kicking, splashing, blowing bubbles and getting your child comfortable in the water. Note that the pool isn't super warm for babies (about 75 degrees) so if your little one runs cold, a wetsuit would help. Also, there isn't really anywhere to sit on the side of the pool and watch, so I used that as an excuse to stay home and use the class as daddy-daughter bonding time.
