Splish Splash Must-Haves for Kids: What Needs to Be on Your Checklist for Every Pool Party

Summer is here, and it’s time for your kids to have some fun in the sun! And what better way to celebrate by going to a pool party? In order to be prepared, dive into this checklist for everything your kid needs at a pool party:

Swimsuit

It can be hard to find a stylish swimsuit that protects skin from the sun’s UV rays. Lucky for you, Mila & Rose has got you covered! Introducing our new Girls’ Swimsuits line! Made with soft, stretchy UPF 50+ fabric, our swimsuits are designed with coverage, durability, and comfort in mind. Featuring six bright, summery patterns that your girl will want to wear again and again.

Our new swimsuits come in four trendy styles, all with adorable flutter sleeves:

  • Twirl Swimsuit – For the girls who love twirls, this dressy swimsuit will have you twirling in the water
  • Twirl-kini Swimsuit Set – Twirls + bikini swimsuit = a fresh and cute design that moms and kids adore
  • L/S One-Piece Swimsuit – With the most sun coverage and a front zipper for easy on and off
  • L/S Rashguard Swimsuit Set – For the ultimate protection with a long sleeve rash guard and matching bottoms

Swim Goggles

Important for protecting your eyes underwater from discomfort. Encourage your kids to be underwater explorers with swim goggles on!

Sunscreen

Make sure to apply sunscreen with SPF 30+ to every exposed area of the body, and reapply every 2 hours at least.

Sunglasses

When your kids are out of the pool, they can show off their style with Mila & Rose’s Sunnies!

Sandals, Flip Flops, or Water Shoes

Find the best shoes for your kid that are easy to slip on and off by the pool and protect their feet from rough surfaces.

Claw Clip

For girls with long hair that don’t want to get their hair wet, hold up their hair with the perfect pool hair accessory: a stylish Claw Clip!

Towel

When they’ve finished their pool day, dry off with a colorful towel!

Snacks and Drinks

With all that exercise they’ll do while swimming, make sure to pack their favorite poolside snacks and drinks with hydration and cooldowns in mind.

Bag

Make sure they have a large bag to carry and store everything on this checklist! For smaller items, our cute Purses & Bags are a great choice!

Pool Float

Whether you bring a pool noodle, inflatable tube, or a uniquely shaped float, it’s sure to be a ton of fun!

Pool Toys

No pool party is complete without pool toys! Some classics are beach balls, diving toys, and reusable water balloons.

Swim Coverup

When traveling to and from the pool party, cover up their swimsuit with a cute outfit that can easily slip on and off! Check out our Summer Dresses for a vibrant vibe!

Going to a pool party is a quintessential event of every summer. We hope you utilize this checklist to ensure your kid has everything they need before jumping into the pool.
