Hi there, if you're reading this post it means that I have convinced you to join the baby swimming lessons! Awesome! I am sure you will love it.
Here is a list of what to pack:
For your baby:
- swimsuit,
- towel,
- swimming nappies,
- dressing gown or a hooded towel,
- nappies,
- nappy cream,
- wipes,
- changing mat,
- spare set of clothes (in case the clothes he/ she came in get wet- extremely common in the swimming pool's changing room, right?) :)
- cotton buds to clean and dry baby's ears after swimming (be careful when using them, though),
- small, waterproof toy or a dummy (if you use one) to keep him/ her busy while you are getting dressed
- something to eat: a warm bottle of formula (if you are bottle-feeding your baby) or a snack (if he/she already started solids). I always breastfeed my son right after getting dressed;
For you:
- swimsuit,
- towel,
- hairbrush,
- hairband,
- Flip Flops,
- face cream and makeup (optional),
- spare contact lenses or glasses (with the case),
- change for the lockers and car park,
- member card or any other proof of pre-payment for the course,
- a bottle of water and a snack. Swimming stimulates appetite, and you may have no time/ opportunity to buy anything. Plus, ironically, gym cafes often offer only unhealthy food.

MY TOP TIPS:
→ pack all items in order of using them,
→ remember that most of the lockers are quite narrow, so try not to over pack,
→ if you are going to the swimming pool but not joining the classes, take a bath toy with you. It will make the experience a lot more fun for your baby.
