What to Bring to Swim Lessons:

  • Towel

  • Tight fitting goggles (for ages 3+) :

  • Sunscreen

  • Swim suit

  • Swim diapers (2 layers for kids not potty trained):

  • Refillable water bottle

  • A change of dry clothes for after lessons

Note: A UV swim shirt or rash guard is not recommended. These run big and drag kids down in the water making it harder for them to learn to swim.

Arrival Time: Please plan to arrive 5 minutes early so that your little one does not feel rushed before their swim lesson. When you arrive, my driveway is open for you to park and enter through the gate.

Sunscreen: I recommend sunscreening your child before your drive or walk over (at least 30 minutes prior) so that the sunscreen does not wash off and get into your little ones eyes, causing discomfort when submerging. If you forget to sunscreen until the last minute, I recommend avoiding sunscreen on the forehead and around the eyes.

A water bottle station is available to provide hot and cold water for you. Parents are provided with a shaded lounge area to observe the lesson. Lori also has extra swim towels, sunscreen, water cups, and goggles if needed.

If you have any questions on what to bring, please feel free to text or call Lori at 213-280-1786.
