What to bring to a class
Depending on the age of your child, the most important things to remember to bring are:
- At least one well-fitting over-nappy (see below) with a smaller re-usable swim nappy (or disposable swim nappy) underneath.
- At least one hooded towel or hooded towelling poncho (see below) for your baby. This can be taken to the poolside.
- If your baby is likely to get cold in the water, we recommend a warm-in-water wrap.
- Some milk for your baby who is likely to be thirsty after such a vigorous workout. (For health and safety reasons we do not allow food in the changing rooms or poolside.)
- A wipeable changing mat that can be placed on the floor to change your baby on.
Please see our merchandise page for full details of all recommended equipment.
Swim Nappies
Any passing of solids into the pool will result in pool closure leading to lesson cancellations and may cause us to lose the long-term hire of the pool.
Until fully toilet-trained, a well-fitting swim nappy and over-nappy are essential. Please buy the smallest size that your baby will be comfortable in. The ribbing on the over-nappy must be a snug fit, and the nappy underneath should be fully hidden. The teachers will regularly check the nappies for fit. You may purchase over-nappies from our merchandise page. Be aware these are made of neoprene and can only be cool washed.
Hooded Towels and Hooded Towelling Ponchos
Our range of towels and ponchos are unbeatable in quality and style. The towels are embroidered with the Puddle Ducks Logo, both are made from 100% cotton and wash beautifully. Both products are ideal in the swimming environment and will last as long as your child needs them. Please see our merchandise page for more details.
