Prep Your Poolside Kit with These Items
With the hot summer weather rapidly approaching, it is now officially time to start thinking about your trips to the pool. There is no better way to be ready for a fun day at the pool than by creating a poolside kit. This handy bag should be filled with everything you need during a day in the water.
Goggles
Swimming in an unfamiliar or crowded pool will be a lot easier when wearing goggles. The goggles will allow you to see under the water without dangerously exposing your sensitive eyes to chlorine. With the ability to see in the water, you will never have to worry about unexpectedly bumping into the walls of the pool when doing laps. The goggles also make it possible to easily navigate around other people in the water when swimming. If you plan to actually spend time under the water, then a pair of goggles are a must-have at the pool.
Swimwear
The local pool will only allow you to get in the water if you are wearing swimwear. Jumping in wearing your regular clothes is generally not allowed. The most popular and accessible form of swimwear is the swimsuit. Luckily, swimwear companies now recognize the need to provide comfortable, stylish, and flattering swimsuits for all body styles. Dress barn has a large selection of plus size bikinis that are perfect for a trip to the local pool.
Robe
While a swimsuit is the perfect piece of clothing when you are in the water, you may be a little self-conscious walking around the outside of the pool. If you are not comfortable with others seeing your swimsuit outside of the water, then you will want to put a robe in the poolside kit. Throw on the robe after completely drying off your body. The robe can be quickly removed if you want to get back in the water. The days of wasting time constantly changing clothes between swims will officially be over once you bring a robe to the pool.
Swim Cap
Everyone with long hair knows that swimming can be a little complicated. The long hair always tends to get in your face. Constantly adjusting your hair is no way to spend your fun day at the pool. An easy way to avoid this major nuisance is by wearing a swimming cap while in the water. It may not be the most stylish accessory, but it will allow you to swim in peace. Hairbands are also an option if you do not want to completely cover your head with a swim cap.
Flip Flops
The last must-have clothing item you need to put in your poolside kit is a pair of flip-flops. Walking around the outside of the pool can be very slippery without something on your feet. The flip-flops will also come in handy in the changing rooms. Nobody wants to walk barefoot on a dirty changing room floor that has been exposed to hundreds of feet on a daily basis.
