5 Pool Day Must Haves with Kids

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of Ultra Swim.

Summer is almost here! We had the opportunity to head to the pool on a few warm days over the past couple of weeks, and I can’t wait for a season of splashing in the water with Aimery. Aimery would go to the pool everyday in the summer if we would let him! I have been stocking up on everything we need for a successful pool day, and want to share my top 5 with you! Keep reading for our must haves!

Fun Floats

You can’t have a pool day without fun floats! We love to find floats that recline, so Aimery can take a break when he needs too. These teddy bear floats are so fun - they even have a cupholder!

Sunscreen

Aimery and I both burn after a few minutes in the sun, so we can’t forget sunscreen! We prefer to use a non-toxic lotion with an SPF 50, making it safe for kids.

Ultra Swim Shampoo and Conditioner

Just like Aimery, I spent a lot of time at the pool growing up. At the end of every summer, I would find that my hair had a green tint to it and it was starting to become brittle, due to the chlorine in the water! Since Aimery, Ben, and I all have naturally blonde hair, we needed to find a solution to keep our hair healthy all summer long! Last year, we started using Ultra Swim products for washing our hair after a pool day, and none of us got that green tint! It was the best way for us to keep healthy hair all summer long.

We love using UltraSwim shampoo and conditioner because their patented formula is so gentle on our hair that it can be used after every swim, keeping our hair healthy, moisturized and chlorine-free. It even moisturizes to restore already damaged hair due to chlorine! I love that the conditioner helps with tangles, so Aimery won’t argue when I comb his hair after a pool day! UltraSwim is definitely a must have for us!

Snacks

Don’t forget lots of snacks! We normally pack sandwiches, chips and salsa, and water bottles for a pool day.

Waterproof bags

Waterproof bags are awesome for keeping valuables like your phone, wallet, and keys protected against the pool water. We love the reusable ones!
