They must be kept under control at all times and not let run about wild, so as to avoid having accidents

A: A swimsuit, (Boy's/Girl's) goggles, swim hat, flip-flops (for their feet to keep them safe going from dressing rooms to the swimming pool and back to the dressing rooms), shower gel, towel, warm clothes and hat to wear after their swim.
