What to Pack for a Swim Party at Felix Swim Schools

Your Go-To Checklist for a Fun, Stress-Free Pool Celebration

So your child has been invited to a birthday swimming party at Felix Swim Schools—how exciting! Our indoor, warm-water pool parties are a hit with kids and parents alike, offering safe, active fun in a stress-free environment. But when party day rolls around, one question always comes up:

“What should we pack?”

Whether you’re attending as a guest or hosting the party yourself, here’s a handy checklist to make sure your little swimmer is well-prepared for an awesome time in the pool—and out of it!

✅ Swim Party Essentials

1. Swimsuit
Make sure it’s snug, comfortable, and easy for your child to move in. Rash guards are great for extra coverage but not required.

2. Towel (or two!)
Pack a large, absorbent towel for drying off—and maybe a backup in case one gets soaked early during changing.

3. Goggles
If your child is used to wearing goggles, bring them along! They help with underwater comfort and confidence, especially for little ones who don’t love getting water in their eyes.

4. Swim Cap (optional)
Not required, but helpful for kids with long hair. It keeps hair out of their face and makes post-swim cleanup easier.

5. Flip-flops or Pool Shoes
Easy on-and-off footwear is helpful for walking around the pool area or getting to and from changing rooms.

🎒 Additional “Nice-to-Haves”

6. Waterproof Bag
To hold wet swimsuits and towels after the party. No one wants a soggy backpack!

7. Hairbrush & Change of Clothes
After drying off, your child will want to get cozy in dry clothes. Don’t forget clean underwear and socks too!

8. Water Bottle
Swimming is thirsty work. A spill-proof bottle helps kids stay hydrated during and after the pool fun.

9. Snack (if not provided)
If you’re unsure whether food will be served (check with the host!), pack a small nut-free snack just in case.

🎉 If You’re Hosting the Party…

If your family is hosting the swimming pool birthday party, you might want to bring:

• Plates, cups, and napkins (if not provided)
• Cake, candles, and lighter
• Decorations or a birthday banner for the party room
• Goodie bags or party favors (water-friendly ones are always a hit!)
• A speaker or playlist if you want to add music to your celebration
• A camera or phone with storage space for all those smiling splashy moments!

Our staff at Felix Swim Schools are happy to help with setup and cleanup, and we provide the party room, warm indoor pool, and certified supervision—so your main job is just to enjoy the big day.

Bonus Tip: Label Everything

With multiple kids changing and playing, it’s easy for towels or goggles to get mixed up. Use name labels or write on tags to help keep your child’s belongings sorted.
