🏊‍♀️ First Swim Lesson Prep Guide

Everything you need to feel confident and ready—no matter your age or experience level!

✅ What to Bring

Make sure you have these essentials with you for a successful first lesson:

• Swimsuit – Choose something comfortable that stays in place.
• Towel – One to dry off, and maybe a second to sit on poolside.
• Goggles – Great for keeping water out of your eyes and building comfort underwater.
• Swim Cap (optional) – Helps keep hair out of your face and protects it from chlorine.
• Water Bottle – Stay hydrated, especially in warm pool environments.
• Flip-Flops or Pool Shoes – Keeps your feet clean and avoids slipping.
• Hair Tie or Clip – If you have long hair, bring something to tie it back.
• Change of Clothes – Dry clothes for after your lesson.
• Swim Diapers – Required for children who aren’t fully potty-trained.
