Every parent knows the logistical complexities of traveling with one or more children. For all the forgetful, the rushed, or the perfectionists, we've put together a list of essentials for a successful time at the beach or pool.

  • A UV-protective swimsuit
    Here, unsurprisingly, we start with swimwear, and of course we recommend the GAIABELA range of UV-protective swimwear! Style, practicality, and sun protection: A true essential for all your swims.
  • Beach shoes
    A good pair of shoes can also make all the difference. Pebble beaches or slippery pool areas will be a distant memory.

    Don't forget a towel to dry and warm your little ones after their swims. We recommend Ti-ponch ponchos or towels for their quality materials and attractive designs.
  • A misting system
    For younger children who aren't yet swimming, a misting spray will provide a refreshing breeze. For environmental reasons, rechargeable misting sprays are available in pharmacies or online.
  • Food and drink
    During swimming time, your little ones explore, play, and learn. So many activities that require a lot of energy! If they get peckish and want to stay well hydrated, slip in a small cooler with a water bottle, a baby bottle, and a snack, and you're all set.
  • Games
    As you know, whatever you bring, your little rascals will inevitably want to play with the toys brought by their neighbor's friend. However, to avoid boredom and therefore problems, a shovel, a bucket, a ball, and a rake will do the trick.
    We recommend you take a look at the Dantoy range of toys They are made of bioplastic, produced from sugarcane. As pretty as they are eco-friendly.
  • Buoys
    Safety first! As soon as your little ones are old enough to move around, it is essential to bring armbands or lifebuoys adapted to their ages.
  • A change
    Finally, you will need to think about a change of clothes; here, slip in an easy-to-put-on outfit so as not to ask too much of your little ones who will have had a lot of fun and will be very tired.
