I just got a couple cute pairs of the Iplay swim diapers and I'm trying to decide the same thing. I have 2 prints and a white one so I think I'll just try to get a rash guard for the prints and a regular swim suit for the white one. If I were you and had access to a private indoor pool, I'd just take them in just the swim diaper!

You can buy delaminated flips that people use as swim dipes and are really cute! And they are cheap. But I don't know if you'd have time to buy any before this weekend. If I were you I'd probably not bother with swimsuits for this one weekend... although if you're pretty sure you're doing swim lessons soon then go for it with the cute suits haha.

We have done the reusables with swimsuit mostly, unless we were somewhere she could get burnt and then we used a rashguard (no costume). Though honestly every time we swum she needed to poo that it was so much easier to use disposables than clean the reusable every time

We used a swim diaper on the bottom and a rash guard on the top.

Swimsuit over the diapers!

@twodoghouse: haha, I think I read the part about "Would you even bother with a swimsuit at all if they were going to be in an indoor, heated pool?" and took it to mean skinny dipping.

Swimsuit over the diaper!

@twodoghouse: we used the swimdiapers only. Sometimes we put a disposable underneath (if it was required by the pool rules etc). My son has these and we love them: http://www.amazon.com/play-Baby-Boys-Infant-Ultimate-Boardshorts-Mod/dp/B00JW39C9G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422366703&sr=8-1&keywords=Iplay+swim+shorts

Last year, I used the reusable swim diapers and put a rash guard over top of it. Her diapers were cute though, I got a Bummis Bubble diaper and the other one was white. Do you have a cloth diaper store near you? They should have a decent selection of reusable diapers. And if they poop, all you have to do is flush it and then I wash the diaper in the sink (I take a small amount of detergent with me).

Both. One suit had the bottoms that were swim bottoms. Other than that we bought swim diapers and put her suit over them.

We used applecheeks, but I put his rash guard and swim trunks over.

We did swimsuit over diaper. My feeling was that it's nice to have an extra layer holding things in if there's a poop situation.

I think for just the weekend getaway, you'll be fine with just reusable swim diapers. We used the applecheeks ones and I liked that they snapped especially after we had a poop incident last summer with an honest reusable one that pulled up. Not fun. Lol

My son just used a swim diaper all summer but we were always using a private pool. I think for lessons I would do swim trunks and maybe rash guard and a suit for DD.

When lo wasn't walking i just did the swim diaper and a rash guard. His second summer I did a bathing suit over the swim diaper, also with a rash guard.

With baby girl I will probably do the same the first year. The second year I doubt I will use a real bathing suit...The thought of having to take a wet one piece bathing suit off to be able to change a diaper on a toddler sounds like...not fun at all. I am personally not a fan of "bikini" type bathing suits on babies/toddlers.

ETA: we use applecheeks swim diapers as well. Lo used the same ones for two years (they have multiple snap settings, and they still fit the second year). They are still in great shape and will use them for baby girl too. LO1 is still small enough that he may actually fit in them for one more summer as well (he will be 2.5 and not potty trained yet).
