a course of antibiotics. We always took some antibiotics after the first year my son got an ear infection from the pool. If we had the antibiotics we could have started them straight away and saved pain, high temps etc. Just go to your doctor and tell him/her that you are going overseas. I've never had a problem.
And Aquaear- saves the ear infections.
I'd take antibacterial wipes to wipe the kids hands before they eat. Especially the little one- as they want to touch everything.
Then the normal- Hats, suncream- the sun can be very strong. We used to bring a float for the pool then give it away to a local when we left (not necessary but fun).
