I’m so glad that it’s summer finally! My daughters and I enjoy being outdoors. There are so many things to do. My daughters love anything that deals with water. They love going on our water slide as well as having water balloon fights and squirt guns. It’s a lot of fun when water is involved. Going on the water slide is probably one of my daughters favorite things to do. They always have a ton of fun with that. They also love having friends and family over for when they go on their water slide. They had their cousins over not long ago so that they could all have some fun with the water slide.
While you’re outdoors, there are many things that you may need for a survival kit. Some of my must have items would be sunscreen, wipes, water, towels and extra clothes. You never know when you’re going to get water on yourself, so having extra clothes is a must. The wipes are for when my daughters get messy. If we’re every on the beach, then they always get full of sand. Water and sunscreen are always a must for me. I try to carry these everywhere I go.
Even though my kids are well out of diapers, I know many of you moms are headed to the beach with your little ones so check out these great ways that you can revamp your diaper bag into the ultimate Summer Swim Survival Kit and even add a touch of Finding Dory magic!
Whether you’re at the beach, running through sprinklers, swimming, or having some water plays outside, you never know when the water may find you. There are a lot of ways to enjoy Summer while being around water. Make sure you are prepared with these Summer Swim Survival Kit must-haves:
- Proper Eyewear: Protect children’s eyes from excessive chlorine and chemicals by buying kid-sized goggles. When the kids are ready to take a break from the water, protect their eyes from the sun’s bright rays with sunglasses. Parents should keep a couple sets of replacement lenses in the pool bag just in case someone’s shades get cracked or scratched during a trip.
- Pack the Right Swimwear: Huggies Little Swimmers disposable swimpants are made for worry-free water play. The easy-open sides make changes a breeze, so everyone can get back to having fun in the sun. Plus, they now have new Finding Dory designs your little fish will love!
- Sunscreen: The sun will be out in full force for the summer and that means parents need to protect children’s skin when they are outside. The higher the better when it comes to SPF levels and remember to reapply regularly!
- First Aid Kit: Along with packing pool towels and water bottles, parents should not forget a basic first aid kit. Include plenty of waterproof Band-Aids, antibiotic ointment, children’s pain reliever, ear drops and bug spray.
What kinds of items would be in your survival kit?
Little Swimmers are the best!! I always used them when my boys were little.
I agree. I used them with my girls too!
Little Swimmers are great. Back in the day, if they babies wanted to swim, they were going au naturalle.
They sure are. I used them when my girls were little.
I always have snacks and water to drink as well in our summer arsenal bag of goodies.
I think water is a very important one too.
I used Little Swimmers for my kids when they were little. They’re great. I always carry sunscreen and spare clothes during the summer because we never know when we will need them!
I used them as well. I loved them for my girls.
We always add bottled water and snacks in our summer arsenal bag of goodies
I think water is extremely important too!
looks like you’re prepared and ready to get your little ones in the water : ) I used those for my kids when they were younger!
They love water! Anything to do with water and they’re there.
My kids would love that pool but our yard is so uneven. I make sure I have hats and sunglasses in my bag for my kids. They have blue eyes and they tend to be a bit more sensitive to the sun.
I usually do sunglasses as well. Our yard is very uneven as well, but this water slide still works well.
Thank goodness mine are out of diapers of all kinds. Pool trips are so much easier now that they can practically get themselves ready. I still make sure they get coated in sunscreen though
I agree with you on that. I’m glad too, but when they were younger we always used Little Swimmers.
It’s crazy but I never think of bringing a First Aid Kit with me to the pool. It’s a really good idea, though and I’ve got a couple of spares lying around the house. Thanks for the tip!
You’re welcome. It’s always a great idea to be prepared.
Great tips, even for at home play. We reapply and keep a bucket of first aid gear and goggles nearby too!
I think goggles are great as well! My girls love their goggles.
I love it for my sister’s daughter. I will share it to her. thanks for this.
You’re welcome…and thanks for sharing!
It’s been a long time since I had little ones in the house, but when I did I always used pampers. They’re the best!
Did you mean Huggies?
These are great ideas. I also make sure I include insect repellent in my kit.
That’s a great one too!
My kids would love to have one of these. They love water just like your kids.
I think many kids really love water. I love that they can be outdoors more now that summer is here!
This is great advice. Those Little Swimmers are definitely handy. You definitely have to keep reapplying sunscreen too.
I agree. Sunscreen is so important..and those Little Swimmers are great for kids!
I always make sure I pack sunscreen and snacks when we go out. Little swimmers are great when you take little ones swimming.
They sure are! I loved using them when my girls were younger.
I would love to have a pool in the yard. It is a great way to relax and cool off. Little swimmers are a great invention. You do not need to worry.
Exactly! I loved using them when my girls were younger.
A first aid kit and water are always in my survival kit, along with sunscreen, wipes and hand lotion. You never know when you are going to need that emergency kit.
Exactly. You should always be prepared.
I’m in love with the Finding Dory ones!!!! So cute! We can’t live without the goggles!
Right! I thought they were so cute too!
We need to stock up on these Little Swimmers disposables. My grandson loves the water! Maybe reminds him of his time in the womb. He was in the pool when he was only 5 months old!
Cute! I’m glad you love the Little Swimmers too. I loved using them for my girls when they were younger.
I would add snacks as my kids are always hungry. That slide looks so fun.
That’s one thing I’d add as well. My girls are always hungry!
Kudos to huggies for making such an awesome product! I’m sure a lot of moms will appreciate this especially this summer. Beach and swimming trips will be so much easier now!
I know I certainly loved them when my girls were younger.
This is a nice post, my son is still little and he loves playing. Thanks for posting this.
You’re welcome. It’s great to hear about all the kids loving to be outdoors.
Little Swimmers were always in our bag when our kids were little. We were on the go so much in the summer and never knew when we’d be swimming. Great tips, thanks
You’re welcome. I always used these when my girls were younger too.
Wow, they have nappies like this now? My boy’s already 16 so I wouldn’t know, haha!
They’re neat for kids still in diapers. I use to use these when my girls were little.
Little Swimmers sound like a great thing to have around for kids

They sure are. I remember using them for my girls when they were little. They work great!
I love they made finding Dory ones!! I know from experience a good swim diaper is a must have for outdoor water play.
They’re great for little ones. I used them when my girls were younger.
These are great tips! Sunscreen is a must have and I used Little Swimmers too when my boys where little!
I agree! Sunscreen is one of the number one products as well as water.
Wow, I want to check this out! My son loves playing outdoors especially in summer season.
I think many kids really enjoy being outdoors. I love that they can play more outdoors in the Summer too.

Awesome to hear it! I hope he enjoys it!
Wow, I like your tips! We are having a summer beach party this weekend and I hope I will survive it.
That sounds like fun!
I always make sure to have plenty of water, sunscreen, and a few snacks whenever the family goes swimming. I never thought about bringing along a first aid kit!
You never know when you’re going to need one. I think it’s best to always be prepared.
All of your tips are helpful. I will share this to my friends so they will also survive!
Thanks for sharing!
We could’ve used a first aid kit on our trip to the waterpark. Liquid bandaid is a lifesaver!
That stuff is nice! I think it’s great to always be prepared.
yes SPF is essential. A medical kit won’t hurt either hahaha, know my mom always brought one. I was kinda a crazy pants haha
I think it’s a great idea. You never know when you’re going to need it.
We are pool owners so I always have a drawer stocked with these!!!!! Best swimmer diapers out there!
They sure are! I loved using them when my girls were younger.
We always used Lil Swimmers when my son was little. They just made life easier when we went to the pool or beach.
Me too! I loved using them when my girls were younger.
I have never found anything for those days out in the water better than these little swimmers. I also agree that a first aid kit is important because you never know what could happen.
I loved using Little Swimmers when my girls were younger. They’re a great brand.
You have compiled a great list for summer safety! Being prepared for any and everything is definitely the way to be when you are dealing with summer water and sun.
I think it’s very important to always be prepared.
Mine would be first aid kit and snack bars! Looks like she’s having a blast. Thanks for sharing!

You’re welcome. I think it’s great to have a first aid kit. You never know when you may need it.
I love that the Huggies have the popular themes on the Little Swimmers. These are perfect for the pool or the beach!
I agree. They’re so great for little ones.
I am so glad huggies has this! It’s definitely going to make swimming with toddlers easier, especially if you haven’t mastered potty training yet! I love that they chose Dory as the design too! Isn’t that delightful!
Right! I loved that they chose that for a design as well. It’s very popular right now!
This is so nice, I am okay with my step children as they behave nicely. I will share this to my sis.
Thanks for sharing. Little Swimmers are so nice for younger kids!
When the kids were small, I always used Huggies Little Swimmers. Now that they are older, I keep plenty of sunscreen and water on hand.
Same here! I loved using Little Swimmers when my girls were younger.
Little swimmers are the best! I feel bad for little ones who play in the water with traditional diapers because they get SO big that it’s often hard for them to walk! Plus, some of them leave those weird gel crystals on their skin.
I completely agree. Diapers are not good for water, that’s why I love the Little Swimmers.
I always use Little Swimmers! They are great!! I also always have sunscreen with me and a snack because after any kind of water play, the kids are ALWAYS hungry!
Little Swimmers are so great for younger kids. I loved using them when my girls were younger.
Little Swimmers are GREAT! We use alot of them because we have a pool. When we go to the pool. we always take a first aid kit.
I’m glad to hear that. I’ve always loved the Little Swimmers!
Oh. I would love to have those for my son. He would definitely enjoy all of that.
The Little Swimmers are the best for younger kids when they’re swimming. I loved them for my girls when they were younger.
My daughter is twenty five now so I’ve been long done with diaper changing. She grew up on Pampers, though, and made mommy duties easier.
I love the Huggies Little Swimmers. They’re great for kids that are still in diapers!
