Getting Ready for Your First Swim Class

While we provide the kickboards and pull buoys for your session at Andaz Delhi, you will need to bring your own goggles and swim caps. A well-fitting pair of goggles is the single most important tool to help a beginner feel comfortable putting their face in the water, so please make sure they are adjusted and comfortable before you step onto the pool deck.

Packing for the Pool

Beyond your swimwear, here is the essential kit you should have in your bag to ensure a smooth experience:

• Goggles & Caps: Essential for comfort and hygiene. Please ensure these are the right size.
• Towels & Dry Clothes: Our 5-star changing rooms at Andaz Delhi are well-equipped, but having a warm, dry set of clothes waiting for you makes the end of the session much better.
• Hydration & Snacks: Swimming is a serious workout. Even for infants, having a small, easy-to-digest snack or bottle ready for after the class helps replenish energy levels quickly.

Preparing for Day One

We know that walking into a new environment can be intimidating. If you are bringing a child who is nervous or prone to crying, please know that this is completely normal. Our instructors are trained to work through these moments using games and songs. We often see that tears on day one turn into giggles by day two or three.

Our focus is on water safety and building confidence rather than just perfecting strokes. Whether you are a total beginner or a nervous adult, remember that our goal is to help you move at your own speed in our temperature-controlled pools. If you have questions about the water quality or our hygiene standards, rest assured that we use robotic cleaners and daily chemical checks to keep our environment safe and comfortable for everyone.
