Swim bag checklist: what to pack for the pool
A swim bag needs 7 things: swimsuit, goggles, towel, swim cap, padlock, flip-flops and shower gel. That is the “Swimming” template in PackTheDay. Tick it off as you pack and change it however you like.
Why the order is what it is
First comes what you cannot do without: swimsuit and goggles. The shower gel comes last, because it can be borrowed. PackTheDay, by the way, grew out of exactly such days: before swimming, something was always missing for us.
How it runs in PackTheDay
If you swim on fixed days, pick them and set a time for each. You tick items off as the bag fills up. The ticks clear the night after, and the list is ready for the next session.
Questions about this list
Does the list work for an outdoor pool too?
It is made for swimming lengths. For an outdoor pool, add sunscreen and something to drink. For a day by the water there is also the “Beach day” template.
Can I tick items off on my wrist?
Yes. On Apple Watch you tick off without reaching for your phone.
