In terms of how early I would say as soon as they are comfortable with it. These two obviously feel at ease so I encourage good water habits early on. I started out with the chocolate girl by wading out into the water with her...then she came out on her own. Then...intro the duck and game-on man.
Still LOL!! Loved the pics, especially the first one! That's a canvas blow up for sure!!
