What to bring for your baby's first swim

Don't forget the obvious.....

Towels

Bring towels for everyone, or you might want to bring a fluffy bathrobe to keep your baby extra toasty. A couple of extra towels can be useful to lie you baby on to change, or cover them in if they're feeling chilly after their first swim. We have changing mats at the pool, but you might like to bring your own travel-changing mat. 

Swim-suits

Because our water at the Hydrotherapy Pools is lovely and warm your baby will only need a regular swimming costume or trunks. You could invest in a baby wetsuit, but this isn't essential. Don't forget your own swimsuit, you might want to pop this on under your clothes  so you can get into the water more quickly when you arrive at the pool.

Nappies

Here at Neptune we ask that all babies and toddlers who aren't compeltely toilet trained wear a protective nappy. This could be a disposable nappy, or a neoprene nappy. If you're using disposable nappies it's a good idea to bring a couple in case there's an accicent before you get into the water. Don't worry if you forget we do sell spares at our pools. If you choose to use a neoprene nappy you can use it on its own, or use a nappy liner for that extra security and ease of cleaning. Don't forget to bring spare regular nappies and wipes for after your swim.
