Celebrity baby Mason Dash Disick may only be six months old, but he already loves getting on his kids' swimwear and hitting the pool.

And his mum, reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian, appears to know what she is doing when it comes to looking after the tot, revealing she always uses plenty of sun protection for toddlers and puts her son in a hat.

Writing her regular blog for US magazine People, the socialite revealed her little one recently enjoyed a swim at partner Scott Disick's parents' house.

Mason loved the water so much that Kardashian is considering arranging swimming lessons for him.

"I've heard that babies become great swimmers when taught early because of their natural survival instinct to hold their breath under water," she remarked.

In the UK, the NHS offers plenty of advice on how to take babies swimming safely.

Parents are able to take their little ones to the pool before and after their vaccination for meningococcal disease.
