Potty training your little one can be a challenge, but it is important to ensure your child is well protected while in the water. If your child has not been potty trained for at least six months, having two layers of diapers is a must – one disposable and one reusable. Luckily, Powers Aquatics Swag has an extensive selection of reusable diapers. Don’t forget to bring a swimsuit (or two!) for yourself and your little one, along with towels, snacks, drinks and easy to change into clothing. With all these essentials in hand, you and your child can hit the pool with confidence.
