I saw the recs for having separate pool bags per family member on the other thread. Any specific recommendations? I tihnk we're doing it wrong! |
My kid has a swim backpack (most swim team kids at our pool do), and I have an ll bean canvas tote bag for my stuff and general stuff like extra sunscreen.
We have a wheeled cooler for food. |
We have a large LL Bean canvas tote for our towels, sunscreen, snacks, pool toys, etc.
I like those because they last forever. My parents got a couple over 30 years ago that they still use. |
Scout - BJ large tote |
Amazon has rectangular bag-pool tote/things that are great. Hold a ton of crap. |
We use 1 giant ikea bag. |
I have a very large Land's End canvas tote. It is full of pools toys, goggles, and sunscreen. It also holds towels, drinks and some snacks.
|
We use this for all our stuff (toys, sunscreen, $, googles, etc) Then we have a large LL Bean tote for our towels. The two together make it easier to find things. |
Swim team bag. Lasts for years of daily use. |

This bag is awesome. Seriously. I have 2 different size Scout bags and while I love their designs, I find the straps are too short to carry over your shoulder. This one holds enough stuff four our family of 5. |
PS they're usually on sale on the RTIC site. |
I use a giant $1 Marshalls bag. Big, waterproof, folds up flat for travel.
If we are walking/on transit, everyone brings their own stuff. |
I second the LL bean canvas totes. One one for each family member?? No. I also have an LL Bean nylon tote I take out to the water. |
My kids have speedo swim team backpacks. I also have a big plastic like carry-tote that I got at target one year. |
