Check with the pool regarding which nappy as different pools have different rules. I use a tots bots reusable nappy but some pools will insist on a happy nappy. I had a horrendous experience with disposable swim nappies so becareful of those!

If the pool is a heated baby pool then trunks should be fine. If it's a cooler standard pool then a wet suit or body warmer would be best.

I would suggest a disposable or reusable swim nappy with a Happy Nappy (branded neoprene pull up nappy / pants) over the top. This will ensure ALL number twos are well contained!
If the water is anything but super-warm, at 4 weeks he will definitely need some sort of bodywarmer suit (baby wetsuit) to maintain his temperature. Mothercare and Jojo Maman Bébé sell them.
