Pack swim bag

A swim bag carries two trips in one pack: dry clothes out, wet clothes home. That is why the towel, the shampoo and the indoor shoes are the three things most often forgotten. The visual support below makes both trips visible.

About this visual support

Think of the swim bag as a package that opens twice. First at home, where your child changes into their swimwear. Then in the changing room, where everything wet goes in and a dry set comes out. The list of items grows precisely because of that double use, and that is where the towel, the shampoo, a comb and indoor shoes vanish between steps.

With visual support, your child sees the whole chain: swimwear, towel, shampoo and soap, change of clothes for after, a plastic bag for wet items, water bottle and indoor shoes. The pictures sit in the order they are used, not the order in which they happen to surface in the hallway. That makes it easier to catch the comb that normally slips past the routine radar.

One concrete tip: keep a dedicated wet bag inside the swim bag, with its own image in the list, so your child knows from the start where the wet clothes belong. If you want the swim bag pre-set with a reminder on pool days, you can save the whole picture list inside Routined and avoid rebuilding it every week.
