Photo: Parents With summer quickly approaching, my family has been in swimming mode for months now. As a mom of young kids, I believe water safety is non-negotiable, which is why we’ve spent the last three summers going to swim lessons. This year, we’ll be at the pool up to six times a week for my 6-year-old’s swim team and my 4-year-old’s lessons, so I’ll be keeping my waterproof Bogg bag fully stocked with the tried-and-true swimming gear we’ve used season after season.

Photo: Parents / Getty Images As Southern California natives, the happiest place on Earth for my family isn’t a Disney park—it’s the beach. We’re blessed to live just a few miles from the sand, and as soon as the sun comes out, my kids are begging to go. Going to the beach can be a lot of work, though, and over the years, I’ve tested and narrowed down a list of items I always bring with us, because I’ve learned that what we pack will make or break our day.
