Everything You May Need for Your First Mom & Me Swim Class

Jumping in the water with your baby every week does need some commitment, but seeing them splash around in the warm water with a huge smile makes it all worthwhile, so commit yourself and your child and be ready to put on your swimming costume every week What makes this commitment even easier is making sure you are prepared for child’s swim. Here are a few ideas.

1. Get there early
   Plan on arriving at least 15 minutes early, especially if it’s your first visit. You will want some extra time to familiarise yourself with the surroundings, get your swimming costume on and introduce yourself to the teacher. It also helps your baby to adjust to the new sights and sounds of the swimming pool.
2. Re-useable Swim Nappy 
   If you and your child are new to swimming it is a great idea to invest in one or two re-useable nappies. All babies under the age of 3 years, and any other swimmers that are not potty-trained, must wear a re-usable swim nappies.
3. Swim Bag
   A nice swim bag is a must to pack all your swim gear into, so you don’t have to unpack and repack your bag every week. Keep a clean swim nappy, shampoo, a towel in the bag so you are always ready to go.
4. Swimsuit for Mum or Dad and Dry Clothes!
   We have baby sorted out. Make sure you don’t forget about yourself and this could be a little tricky. It is a good idea to get a costume that is resistant to chlorine, gives you good coverage especially when little one starts to pull on whatever they can reach. The best advice I can give is for you and your baby to arrive at the pool ready to swim. Don’t forget some dry clothes for you and your baby (and fresh nappies) to change into.
5. Beach Towel
   Pack two towels, one for yourself and one for your baby. One towel is generally not enough and don’t spoil your fun lesson with your child by having to dry yourself with a wet towel.
6. Other Items to Bring
   Swim classes are definitely fun, but they can be tiring for both of you. Bring a drink and a snack for both of you afterwards. As the water can dry out your baby’s skin it’s a great idea to bring your favourite baby lotion.
7. Covid
   Our Covid requirements are aligned with national requirements.  Kindly have your mask with you when attending the lesson.  Instructors will also be wearing a face mask.  Children are not required to wear a mask during the lesson, as they will be swimming.
8. Instructor Methodology
   Due to health and safety concerns, instructors are currently limiting contact with students in parent and me lessons.  Your instructor will always wear a face mask in the water while teaching. If you would like to request a different approach, please feel free to speak with your instructor and they will do their best to accommodate your request.
