Why does Swimkids require reusable diapers?
We require reusable swim diapers (usually made of cloth or vinyl) because they do not clog our pool filters with gel like Huggies “Little Swimmers,” Pampers “Splashers,” or non-swim disposable diapers. Other advantages include less waste, no harsh chemicals, and lower cost for you over the long-term than multiple packs of disposable swim diapers. Instructions: • Reusable diapers are designed to catch bowel movements (not urine) so change your child promptly before and after his/her lesson to prevent urine accidents. The pool chemicals kill any germs from urine within ten seconds. If fecal matter leaks into the pool, everyone must get out of the pool so that we can “shock” the pool with additional chemicals. We then move those students to the other pool. • For hygiene reasons, rinse out any soiled reusable diapers in the toilet (not the sink or shower). • Hang your reusable diaper to air dry after washing. The dryer can warp them. We sell reusable diapers and swim suits with the diaper
