[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two hours is fine! Maybe you can stretch it to 3, but that will depend on the baby.

Some things that worked for us when my kids were that young:

1.Pool bags! You have a bag for you and the baby. Older kids have pool bags for themselves that they carry. suit (or change of clothes) , towel, goggles. If they want particular large toys, those go into their pool backpacks.

2. Food: keep it simple. Cut up fruit and put them into tupperwares. Everyeone gets a water bottle. sandwiches if you're staying for a meal. Maybe a bag of carrots or chips or whatever keeps them happy. Then I toss in something extra for them to eat during adult swim.

3. see whether your oldest can get into pre-team or swim team. It will give him more time in the water and help him make some friends, plus free you up to watch the 4 yo. [/quote]

Oh! Meant to add that my kids always shower with soap in the locker room before we leave the pool. Might as well accomplish something you need done, too! (One year we moved over july 4. My oldest realized on Labor Day weekend while showering that it was the first time he'd showered at the new house!)[/quote]
