I have taken my 9 month old daughter swimming before when I have taken my younger siblings. My daughter loves the water and enjoys splashing around while sitting in one of the infant floaty things or even if she is held. One the other hand i remember taking my now 3 year old sister swimming when she was about a year old, and she hated it. She cried the whole time, and when we got out she stopped and then kept pointing to the pool saying "No!" I think it really just depends on the kid. Whether or not they like bathtime may give you an idea whether or not they will like the pool. Also remember not to use a regular disposable diaper in the pool, but swim diapers.

depending on the water might not be for too long, dont expect her to last over 10 or 15 minutes....
