Tips To Keeping Your Child Warm During Rainy Season

The Monsoon season is back again and as parents, we all struggle to decide whether we should send our children to the pool for their lessons, since the weather is so cold!

At Odysseus Aquatics, we have compiled a few tips for our parents to keep our children warm and also keep them from dropping out of training:

1. 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀!  ☕
Even as coaches, we pack our own hot drinks in thermal flasks to gulp down in between lessons to keep ourselves warm. Just a couple of sips, it will warm the body up instantaneously.

2. 𝗕𝘂𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘄𝗶𝗺𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺
Thermal suits are easily available on online stores like Lazada, Qoo10 and Taobao. Just look for 3mm thick suits and it should keep them reasonably warm

3. 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱
As coaches, we realised that we are able to keep warm after our classes by wrapping ourselves with towel around our neck and head. By drying the children as quickly as possible once they exit the pool, it also helps them to keep warm.

4. 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗺
Having warm towels in this hour is the best thing ever! You could buy heat packs from Daiso or buy those reusable gel type heat packs and put them in between the towel to keep them warm.

All in all, we hope that these little tips can help children to remain comfortable in class. Enjoy our "winter" while it lasts, because it won't be long before we are hitting 34°C again
