Taking the Kids on a Beach Holiday? Don't Forget These Swimwear Essentials
Family holidays are exciting.
But packing for children?
That's a completely different story.
Between clothes, snacks, toys and travel documents, it's surprisingly easy to forget one of the most important things for a beach or resort trip:
swimwear.
If you're preparing for a family holiday, here's a simple kids swimwear packing checklist to help you get organised.
1. Bring at Least One Proper Swimsuit
Start with the obvious.
Make sure your child has swimwear that fits properly and is suitable for the activities planned during the holiday.
Pink N’ Proper's current kids collection includes long-sleeve two-piece swim sets and short-sleeve swim onesies.
2. Consider Bringing a Spare
Kids get wet.
Then they get sandy.
Then somehow they get wet again.
Having an extra swimsuit can make changing much easier, especially when you're spending the entire day around a pool or beach.
3. Pack a Swim Cap
If your child uses a swim cap, don't leave it behind.
Pink N’ Proper currently carries several kids swim cap designs, including Salt & Stripes, Sandstone Neutral, Lemon Sorbet and Cherry Pop.
4. Think About Swimming Accessories
Depending on your child's age and swimming experience, you may also pack suitable swimming accessories.
Pink N’ Proper's current kids collection includes arm float bands and swim ring floats.
Any flotation device should be used according to its product instructions and with appropriate adult supervision.
5. Bring a Cover-Up or Easy Outfit
Once your child is finished swimming, they'll need something easy to change into.
Pack:
- Lightweight clothes
- Dry shorts or trousers
- A T-shirt
- Sandals
- Extra underwear
- A small towel
6. Don't Forget the Wet Bag
A wet swimsuit shouldn't have to go directly into your suitcase.
Bring a waterproof or reusable bag where you can temporarily store wet swimwear after swimming.
This keeps the rest of your holiday luggage much easier to manage.
7. Pack According to the Destination
A beach holiday, resort holiday and pool-focused trip may require slightly different packing lists.
Before leaving, check what activities your child will actually be doing.
That way, you can avoid bringing too much — or forgetting something important.
