What Children Should Have with Them at a Waterpark

What to wear to the water park. Below I have compiled a list of different items you should make sure to bring with you for a child if you plan on going to a water park.
Swim Diaper - You can purchase swim diapers here
Swim Diapers are better than a reagular diaper while at the pool. All children that are still in diapers should be in swim diapers.  I know there are chemicals in the pool, but that should not make a difference.  Putting the appropriate diaper on your child is just the right thing to do.  No one wants to have to worry about floaters while they are in the water.

Life Jacket - You can Purchase a life jacket here If the child or children you are with either can’t swim or are at a low swim level you should make sure that you take the proper safety precautions. This includes a life jacket or any other floating device.

Sandals / Water Shoes
Kids tend to not pay attention to where they are walking. To keep them from getting into anything that you might find gross, it is a good idea to bring along either sandals or water shoes for them.  You don’t want to bring regular shoes that you have to wear socks with, these may get uncomfortable if they get wet and start to smell.  In the water park, the concrete is also hot if it is not blocked by the sun or wet. Some kids might have a lower pain tolerance; therefore they will not be able to handle it. If you don’t want to have to worry about carrying your kid or kids around with you when they are not in the water it is a good idea to make sure that they have something on their feet. 

Swimwear
Kids need to wear the appropriate swimwear when at the park. Many parks will not let children even enter the park if they are in regular clothes.  It is ok if you let them were a clean t-shirt if you fear that they may get burnt, but other than that you should stick to clothes that were meant to be worn in water.

Dry set of clothes to change into
It is nice to bring a dry set of clothes to change into after you are done for the day, especially if you are going to be spending a longer amount of time in your car. After a long day outside, kids will most likely wear themselves out and be tired when they get to the car. You want to make sure they are as comfortable as possible to keep the crankiness to a minimum.
