- All babies under 3yrs need to wear a “happy Nappy” reusable nappy available from reception or from the little togs website.
- A rash vest for baby
- Mum/ dad need to wear togs that are appropriate for swimming, remember that your child will probably grab at your togs
- Sunscreen and hats are not required as we are an indoor centre
- Towel
Learn to Swim
- Swim caps are compulsory; we have a variety of caps available including, lycra, silicon and latex. Not all children are comfortable wearing them, so you may need to try a few and see which one they like to wear best
- One piece togs are preferable for girls
- Boys will find it better to swim in trunks or speedo type togs as boardshorts can make kicking difficult
- Goggles are a personal thing, but we are recommended for the higher levels that are starting to swim lots of laps. Please ensure the goggles that your children wear are well fitting and adjusted before the lesson. Please note that the teachers will remove goggles at times throughout the lesson for safety practice
- Towel
- Warm clothes to change into during winter
