2 year old is going to swimming classes every week. What do I need to buy? Should I buy arm floaties or should I buy a swimming vest? Please give me a list of things I should buy or take with me thank you!

No need to buy armbands/vest, that will be provided if they use them. If you want to fun swim with them, you might want your own if you can’t borrow from the pool.

Swimming costume
towelling robe, plus extra small towel (I find this useful for hair)
goggles, get proper ones not novelty
if you think she will stand it, a swim cap (really helps to protect the hair), if not a leave in conditioner to spray in before hand
shampoo etc, tangle spray, brush, dry hairband
snacks - all of the snacks or if it is next to her normal meal time, take a packed lunch, swimming makes little ones ravenous

Googles
Towel
Swimming costume

Don't waste money on floating aids - different pools / teachers use different things and will provide.
