we are going on holiday at the end of the month. Dd2 is 2.9 and has been potty trained in the day for about 4 months. We are going to a large AI resort with kids clubs and 4 pools. I am not sure about the need for swim nappies. My friend took her dd to a similar place last year and she had been potty trained for ages and she pooed in the pool, this resulted in the pool being shut for 1/2 a day and her getting dirty looks from every one at the hotel. I am just worried about her getting used to wearing nappies again.

So buy a reusable swim nappy from Mothercare which looks more like trunks or but a Splash about neoprene nappy from ebay (these are the ones used with a disposable at Waterbabies)

We use floaties aquanappies (even before potty training), in fact when I started potty training with ds he started calling pants his swim nappy. Not sure they would hold a wee, but should be fine for a poo. They are like bulky pants. I think you just call them swimming pants and hope she or her big sister can't read the label!
