Suggested Gear for Students for Pool Party
- Swim suit or quick dry shorts and top. No cotton.
- Rash guard (for under PFDs)
- Wet suits: Shorties or long-Farmer Johns. Surfing style wet suits. Don't bring thick diving wet suits. You need flexibility.
- Flip flops or sandals for wearing in shower/locker area
- Booties, water shoes, or old tennis shoes for use in the pool. NO sandals or shoes with straps in the pool or boats. They tend to catch on things as you are working in and around the boats.
- PFD: if you have a Type III PFD for kayaking or canoeing bring it so you can work in your own gear
- Towel(s) and any toiletries you would care to bring. There are showers with soap.
