Bathing suit at camp

Anonymous
For day camp that has water activity or pool time, do you dress your DD in bathing suit or not upon drop off? The water activity or pool time sometimes are in the afternoon.

Had them wear under t-shirts and shorts or if swimsuit was shorts then just swimsuit shorts and t shirt. Camps were outside so they dried off quickly before clothes went on again and even better when pool time right before pickup.

Op here. DD wears long sleeves easy guard top and bottom (ruffled tutu brief style) in 2 pieces getting on the bus today morning. Is that considered okay? Should I insist her to put on shorts to cover her butt?

If she's comfortable and can participate in all non swim activities, she's fine.

My DD wears a similar long sleeve swimsuit, and likes to wear a (cheap) sleeveless coverup over it. She won't wear shorts over her bathing suit bottom (maybe it feels bunched up with the ruffled bottoms?) DD wears the coverup during camp activities and doesn't change until after pool time. I have seen a range of outfits from the kids, I think what you are describing is fine.

My girls (9 and 12) took their swimsuits and changed into them at camp. They stood in line for the changing room and changed together. It took longer than changing out in the open, but it's what they wanted to do.

Maybe consider buying her something without ruffled bottoms for comfort.

She has a lot of strap dress, but would that look silly if she wear dress over the long sleeves rash guard top.

I wouldn't have your little girls wear a swimsuit all day long. They will get a raging yeast infection.

Idk why I would do that when she likes both her bathing suit and her coverup. I don't borrow problems with my kids!

My kid is five so it’s a lot easier since she doesn’t care too much either way, but we have been all summer doing camp in swim shorts and swim t shirts. The best shorts we have are from UV skinz on Amazon but they’re all fine. They’re like little bike shorts made of swimsuit.

Easier on and off than a one piece and good for bus, swimming and slip and slide.

I think it’s okay if they’re not wet. Especially the shorts which are not too tight. The problems are if they don’t change after swimming. If they just wear a dry swim bottom until swimming starts at 10am or whatever, that’s been fine for us. They change after to cotton undies for the rest of the day.
