Q&A for How to Enjoy a Visit to a Water Park

I would probably say swim shorts and a tank top with your bathing suit underneath with flip flops.

Stick to the wave pool and/or lazy river. They are very relaxing and enjoyable.

The best time to visit the water park is in the morning, as soon as it opens.

You can, but the floor is filthy most of the time. The locker rooms are generally cleaner.

Shea butter lotion works as a superior substitute. Also you could take a floppy hat and use that to protect yourself from he sun's harmful UV rays.

Sometimes it's best to take off your glasses, especially because your glasses could fall off and get lost in the water. However, if you really need to wear glasses, consider contacts or prescription goggles.

If you get lost, find the nearest employee and explain that you got separated from your group or chaperones. To prevent this from being a big issue, you and your parents/friends can decide on a particular spot in the park where you can meet up in case you get separated.

Being a dork is fine, and it should not adversely affect your trip to the water park. Just follow the steps in the article to have fun.

Have you tried wearing coverups over your swimsuits? That works well if you are just sunbathing. If you are actively swimming, try wearing surf suits, which cover most of your body, and are waterproof. If you cannot find one in your size, try wearing a rash guard and board shorts over a sports bra or swimsuit.

You can get one of those elastic athletic straps for your glasses, or just have an adult hold onto them for you and have a friend help you on and off the rides.

If you don't have swimwear, go buy some, borrow some from a friend, or wear something you don't mind getting wet, like shorts and a tank top.

Yes, do it more often. If you do it ten times in a row and repeat that ten times, your fear will decrease and your fun will increase. It's the same for anything and everything anyone is ever afraid of.

I would talk with your parents and explain to them why you want to use tampons; you may be able to change their minds. If you don't want to or can't convince them, stick to sunbathing and non-water activities. It's a sad alternative, but it's really the only option.

Wear a bathing suit or purchase one if you don't already have one. Don't wear attire with strings or ties, because they could easily snap.

Be confident that you can do it. Close your eyes and slide if you are scared of a slide.

Wrap your hair with a scarf, or put on a net then put on a clear shower cap, or wear a regular shower cap. If you choose a regular shower cap, wear a white one.

Sundays are usually better days to go to a waterpark, unless there is bad weather. There will be fewer people.

A life-saving device is a life vest, or those inflatable rings you put on toddlers' arms - anything that help keep a person afloat if they are drowning or in danger of drowning.

As long as you don't look directly at the sun you shouldn't damage your eyes. Wearing a hat will keep the sun out of your eyes as well.

You can try a menstrual cup, or you can wear a pad and swim shorts and avoid submerging your lower half in the water.

There is still plenty you can do to have fun at a water park. For example, you can just go in the wave pool, lazy river or any other attractions the park has. And you can enjoy the food, sit around and watch others and just relax in a shallow pool.
