The
correct gear can make all the difference for the most comfort in the water.
While each course may vary in its clothing requirements, knowing what is
generally acceptable can help you feel prepared and confident. Ask ahead of
time to make sure that your gear is acceptable and then take the plunge.
If your child is not potty trained, ensure that they wear a swim diaper and plastic pants in case of an accident. Older kids can simply wear a swimsuit, so choose one that is comfortable. For girls I would recommend one-piece suits as it limits excess skin exposure. If you child tends to get cold easily, you can purchase long-sleeved thermal swimsuits that look more like wet suits. These also work well for outdoor swimming classes, because they block sunlight.

What about a hat for infants?
ReplyDeleteCherisse, thanks so much for your question. It is important for infants to wear hats as a form of sun protection, but it is not necessary while in the water for self-rescue swim lessons.
