At about 4 months old, I decided to bring my son to have his experience which is his first swimming spa and massage experience. I called to hipopo baby spa center to make appointment. For weekend you need to book 1 week earlier. There are several of branches available in Malaysia. For me the nearest branch is empire mall and for the first trial on Weekday is RM68.00 and Weekend is RM88.00
Before you reached the hipopo baby spa center you need to feed your baby at least one hour before the swimming session start.
Once arrived the staff were giving a short briefing about the spa, their service offerings, how and what does they use for their products example products for baby oil to massage, hand sanitizer, the size of pool and function on the pool and type of float that they have to use on baby.
After the tour about the spa and the briefing, the staff help my baby warm up for about 10 minutes. After that they change the swimming diaper and put in the neck float and test the water level then start swimming in small pool. The smallest pool is for baby below 6 months(only can fit 1 baby), medium pool is for above 6 months to 1 year(can fit 2 babies) and the largest pool is for above 1 year(can fit 3 babies).
He was quite nervous at first and he keep on holding to the float. But after few minutes he started to relax and enjoy being in the water. The swimming session is about 30 minutes. After that they will help baby to massage. My baby is very enjoy when massage. He is watching kids song and let the staff massage him.
Overall experience I would highly recommend the Hippopo Baby Spa because the staff is friendly and very helpful.
