Our pool has a cafe and we just buy from there.

Chips, cut up fruit, Nutella cookies.
Other than fruit anything healthy I take just comes home.
Kid is 13. She eats healthy 90% of the time at home so I don’t stress about pool snacks.

We focus on bringing fruit, water and some chips. Mainly because I don't want to pay $1.50 for multiple snack bags of chips when it's easier to bring our own. I normally let my kids get something at the snack bar and give them free reign ONCE at pool trip. Maybe twice if we are there for really long time.

But my kids are super crazy active at the pool. They will spend the entire 45 minutes swimming and playing, maybe 7 minutes of break eating their snack and then running around the playground before going back in the pool. The calorie burn is HIGH.

What's more shocking is what's not mentioned.

That list is a deviled eggs short of a DCUM Holy Trinity.

We usually freeze some bottled water as ice pack in thermos bag, add popsicle, bottled water, also food need to keep fresh like fruit in the bag, will also bring chips & croissant/bread etc. we try not to bring cheese nor anything could easily spoil for food safety.
