It’s good to take a couple of pairs of swim nappies as well as a few of your regular nappies for after swimming. At Baby Squids we ask that all our babies & toddlers wear a double nappy system, with a neoprene nappy worn over a disposable or reusable “under” nappy. Most babies, particularly in our hydrotherapy pools are happy to swim in just their neoprene nappy & “under” nappy, however, every baby is very different; some feel the cold and others are always toasty so you might want to wear a wetsuit also.
Looking for what to wear to baby swimming lessons? While public pools will require your baby to wear a swim nappy, it’s up to you if you choose to put your little one in a baby swimming costume. There are some very cute baby girl and baby boy swimsuits available if you prefer your child to wear something over their swim nappy, as well as different options that are suitable dependent on the temperature of the swimming pool.
A pack of wet wipes are a must for change times, plus your usual barrier cream.
If you have space, take a couple of towels to wrap baby up in when you leave the water. Hooded towels are great for keeping your baby cosy.
Have some change handy for the locker, or check with pool staff whether you need a token instead.
