Adult Swimming Classes in Brooklyn: Getting Ready

If you’ve recently decided to sign up for adult swimming classes at British Swim School Brooklyn Queens, congratulations! Whether you have signed up to overcome a fear of the water, learn how to swim, improve your technique, or learn vital safety skills, you’re in the right place. But as you get ready for your first class, you may be wondering what you’ll need to bring to the pool with you.

6 Things to Bring to Your First Adult Swimming Class in Brooklyn

Not sure what you’ll need for your first adult swimming class? Here are some essentials as well as a few “extras” that adult students at British Swim School Brooklyn Queens like to have on hand:

1. Comfortable swimwear — Wearing a suit that doesn’t ride up while you’re learning is essential. If your current swimwear is great for sunbathing but little else, invest in a suit that fits well and requires little adjustment while you swim.
2. Goggles — At British Swim School Brooklyn Queens, we highly recommended goggles for our adult students to protect eyes from chlorine. Goggles can also make it easier for many adults to get used to submerging their faces in the water.
3. Swim cap — A swim cap is great for keeping long hair out of the way, but they’re also good for those who want to protect their hair from chlorine, and can reduce drag in the water.
4. Cover-up — Along with a towel, consider bringing a cover-up or pool robe with to throw on after your swimming class. “Aquatic” cover-ups for adults provide coverage without the bulk of a standard robe and can be enough if you want to leave quickly after class. These cover-ups can be found online or in most sporting goods stores throughout Oceanside.
5. Pool sandals — If you don’t like to walk barefoot in the locker room, bring a pair of non-skid sandals, slides, or flip-flops.
6. Pool bag — Use a bag large enough to easily store all your swimming gear, preferably one with a waterproof compartment to keep your bag dry when bringing home a wetsuit. No waterproof compartment in your favorite bag? A plastic storage bag can also do the job.
