Chanel my 3 year old plays in the water almost EVERY day - about 3pm she bugs me and goes to the towels and since I'm very well trained - we go play -
I found using Chris Christensen Systems - she never gets dry skin or itchies.....I wouldn't bother putting conditioner on your Bella BEFORE she swims - I would AFTER though - Rinse her off really well after she swims and just condition her ...and rinse THAT off - I give Chanel a full shampoo 1-2 times a week but she's outside and in the water LOTS.
Sounds fun - I wish I had a pool
