Advice Weekly #7: What To Bring To The Pool & The Beach



Summer's just starting and some people are already out of school. And one of the most popular things to do during the summer is go swimming or spend a day at the beach! So here are the important things you'll need for both besides a swim suit.

Towels are an obvious thing to bring to both the beach and the pool so there's not much explanation on this. Bring an extra towel for emergencies.


Flip flops are important for the beach and the pool. No one wants sand in their sneakers. When at the beach, you can easily remove sand and if you buy the rubber ones, you can wear them at both places because they'll be waterproof. 

No one wants to get sun burned! Bring along sunscreen and apply it well and before you leave your house for the beach or pool. If you get soaked you may want to re apply it.


Bring lots of water bottles because you don't want to become dehydrated. Bring plastic already filled water bottles and many of them because most likely there are no water fountains at the beach or pool where you can refill your reusable bottle.


Bring empty grocery bags to hold wet clothes.

Bring a camera so you can take pics so you can have something to remember of your amazing time!


For the beach, you might want to bring fold-able beach chairs because not everyone likes to sit on a blanket on the sand.


Chapstick will keep your lips healthy and moisturized. They contains SPF to protect your lips from being sunburned.


Pack an extra pair of clothes in case your original ones get wet. 

This you might need for detangling hair or just to fix it.

Bring magazines to read and entertain yourself. You can also bring your phone, ipod, or tablet, but make sure you fully charge it and don't leave it in a place where it can get too hot!


You can get hurt anywhere. If you're going by yourself, just bring a few bandages and an ice pack.

If you plan on staying at the beach until it gets dark, bring bug spray. In the summertime, mosquitoes appear fast after sometimes 4 or 5:00. No one likes itchy, annoying bites so if it's necessary then bring this along.\

Bring at least $15 in case you need to buy something or are in an emergency.

Sometimes it can cold when it gets dark in the summer. Bring a light hoodie for that.


I don't know about you, but I still like making sand castles so I personally will bring a sand bucket.


Bring some snacks in case you get hungry which you most likely will.


These will keep you out of the sun and allow you to get some shade. 

These will protect your eyes from the sun but that doesn't mean you can look at the sun.


Bring balls for games and fun! Also bring water guns if you want.


Last but not least, bring a big beach bag! Not everything will fit but there are all kinds of cute beach bags that are available.

I hope this post gives you the ultimate list of things to bring to the beach and the pool.
