Yes, it is perfectly legal. It's just a choice of how you are going to dicipline your child.
It depends on the definition of "spank". The law recognizes the need to see to the upbringing of your child, but the state will step in and prevent a child from being assaulted, even by his own parents.

A different view:
Yes, I believe it is legal. Just keep in mind that a spanking and a beating are not the same thing. A spanking should never cause actual pain, nor should it leave any marks or bruises on the skin. A spanking should be used with much discretion, and as a last resort.
Also, spankings should never be done in a moment of anger, which can lead to it turning into a beating. Spankings should be used as a form of teaching a child right from wrong, not as revenge just because you are angry at the child.

No, to a certain extent. When you spank you child, it is a form of discipline, just like yelling at your child or grounding them. Be aware that hitting is allowed to a certain extent, spanking isn't a good way to teach your kids, but is allowed. I suggest finding more positive ways to teach them.
