Honestly, this year feels like summertime is here to stay.
Though we are well into the middle three months of the year, there is no trace of the season of cool, soothing rain yet. Rain-drenched Pune is beautiful, right?
But instead, it is just heat, heat and heat. Which means it has become pretty tough for your kids to go out and play. Or for them to reach their outdoor activity goas. It is way too hot to even take a stroll around in your local park.
But worry not. That does not mean you have to force your kids to stay home and be glued to a screen.
Okay, as fun as that might be for them, they need a healthy dose of activities off the couch. And that is where swimming comes in!

With the monsoon season coming, wondering if swimming is the best idea for your kids? Well, it depends. On the pool. If it is a closed one, you have nothing much to worry about.
Open pools though can be a bad idea as rainwater can turn pool water acidic, so it might not be the best for your baby.
