Sun, Fun and Poolside Must Haves for Moms Sun, Fun and Poolside Must Haves for Moms
Summer is here, and that means pool time! Whether you're pregnant, have a baby, or are juggling multiple kids, a day at the pool really can be fun and relaxing with the right essentials. Here’s a list of must-haves to make your pool day smooth and enjoyable, plus a few tips to encourage you to jump in the water and have some fun!
Sunscreen, Sunscreen, Sunscreen!
First things first: protecting our skin is a must. Make sure you have a good, water-resistant sunscreen for you and your little ones. Look for options that are safe for sensitive skin and babies, like Supergoop Play Sunscreen Body Mist. Don't forget to reapply every couple of hours, especially after swimming. This sunscreen is great if you're pregnant as well, as it's made with all natural ingredients.
Comfortable Swimwear
Finding the right swimsuit can make a world of difference. Choose something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. Whether it's a one-piece, a bikini, or a tankini, the key is to pick something you love. For pregnant moms, consider a maternity swimsuit that provides extra support and room for your growing belly, like this adorable Maternity Swimsuit.
A Big Water Cup Filled with Iced Tea
Staying hydrated is crucial, especially in the summer heat. Fill up a large water cup but instead of water fill it with our refreshing Grounded blend Iced Tea. This blend not only tastes amazing but it also naturally supports hormone balance, which is perfect for those hot summer days. Plus, it’s a fantastic alternative to sugary drinks, leaving you feeling hydrated, balanced and happy.
Pool-Friendly Baby Gear
If you have a baby, pool-friendly gear is a lifesaver. A good quality swim diaper is a must. We love the ALVABABY Reusable Swim Diaper because it’s eco-friendly and super easy to clean. Be sure to hurry- these Swim Diapers are popular this summer! Another fantastic thing to have is a baby float with a canopy, like the 2024 Mambobaby Baby Swim Float, great for keeping your little one safe and shaded.
Snacks and Hacks
Kids (and moms) always get hungry at the pool! Our natural instinct is to pack a cooler. But, we LOVE this hack: pack three or four snack containers (with healthy snacks like fruit, cheese sticks, and crackers), toss in a backpack with an ice pack and call it done! We love this because well, coolers are heavy! We love the Enstphjoy Boxes!
Another hack- bring a backup battery for phones and devices. What is it about the heat that drains batteries so quickly? With an extra charge you'll be ready when your little one smiles the cutest smile of their lives.
Ear buds
Whether you only want to wear one so that you can still hear what's going on around you or if you want to be transported to another place while you soak in the sun headphones are a must. Whatever the style, whatever the podcast or the tune- listen to what you love.
Towels and Extra Clothes
Bring plenty of towels and an extra set of clothes for everyone. Wet clothes can quickly turn a fun day into an uncomfortable one. Consider quick-dry towels that are lightweight and easy to pack, like these dreamy 100% Organic Turkish Towels.
Pool Toys and Games
Keeping kids entertained is key but the water does a lot of that for us. Pack a few pool toys and games to keep them busy. Dive rings, inflatable balls, and water spray toys are always a hit. Also, Mom's tell us to never underestimate the subtle power of a game of Marco Polo.
A Stylish and Functional Bag
You’ll need a bag to carry all your pool essentials. Look for one that’s stylish yet functional with plenty of pockets. The Bogg Bag Original X Large Tote is perfect because it’s durable, easy to clean, and can hold all your goodies.
A Positive Attitude and Confidence
Last but certainly not least, bring your confidence, Momma! It’s so important to remember that your kids do not care what you look like in a swimsuit—they simply love you and just want you to have fun with them. Jump in the water, splash around, and make those summer memories. Your body is amazing just the way it is, and you deserve a refreshing dip in the water!
A day at the pool with your kids can be a highlight of your summer. With these essentials, you'll be prepared for anything and can focus on making great memories with your family.
Don’t forget to hydrate with our delicious teas and dive into the fun without a second thought about appearances. Embrace the joy and freedom of the season, and enjoy every splash!
