🎒 What you need for baby swimming
You do not need much – but a few things make it much easier, especially after the swim when the baby is cold and hungry.
Swim nappy
Your baby needs a swim nappy in the pool. Courses often have their own rules on which kind, so check what your course requires.
Bathrobe or hooded towel
A hooded towel or a small bathrobe keeps the baby warm from the pool to the changing table while you dry yourself.

The hair stays wet long after the swim. A thin wool hat keeps the warmth in on the way home, especially in winter.

A tip many parents use: the blue IKEA bag is waterproof, stays open and fits towels, wet clothes and a changing mat. Pack the towels in it at home, and you have a bag for the wet things on the way back.
Food or milk ready
Babies often get hungry and sleepy after swimming. Have milk or a snack ready before you leave the changing room.
