We recommend comfortable swimwear that allows you to move freely and support your baby in the water. Many adults prefer swimsuits, swim shorts, rash vests or thermal base layers.

Yes, our selected swim shorts are made from fast-drying, high-quality fabrics, so you won't be stuck in damp swimwear long after you've left the water.

Absolutely. Designed for both swimming and casual wear, they're comfortable enough to wear from morning dips to afternoon lunches.

Yes. While baby swimming pools are kept warm, some parents find that wearing a thermal top or base layer makes lessons more comfortable. In baby swimming classes, you're often supporting and interacting with your baby rather than constantly swimming, so an extra layer can help you stay comfortable throughout the lesson. Thermal swimwear can also provide a little extra confidence and coverage, allowing you to focus on enjoying special moments in the water with your little one.

Water shoes aren't essential for most classes, but they can provide extra grip and comfort when walking around changing areas or poolside.

A swim cap isn't usually required unless your pool has specific rules. However, many parents with longer hair find that a swim cap helps keep hair out of the way during lessons.
