You'll need a swim diaper that catches poop but not pee. You'll want a swim suit that preferably covers their arms and legs because baby cant use any sunscreen yet.
I wouldn't recommend any floatation devices because they aren't big enough or strong enough for them. You'll be holding them the entire time.
You could look into local swimming lessons to get comfortable!

Swimbubs warm fleeced wetsuit is amazing for little babies keeps them so cosy (if swimming indoors or colder months)

We bought this one for our daughter and she’s so chill in it (sadly no photos as our local pool doesn’t allow photos to be taken). We go to an indoor pool as UK based and don’t have access to outdoor pools locally.
Depending on whether it’s an indoor or outdoor pool will depend on what you need. If it’s indoor and temperature controlled then any swimsuit is fine (they grow out of them quickly anyway). If it’s outdoor, then you’ll want an all over swimsuit with arms, legs and a hat that has UV protection

We use Splash About, long sleeve fleece wetsuit with an incorporated happy nappy. And wear a disposable swim nappy underneath

We use splash about, there’s lots of options, just pants, full costumes, then additional vests. They also do floats but I’ve never used one so can’t comment. However the normal costumes are fleeced so very good!
