The weather can be unpredictable in April, so pack clothes you can easily mix and match. You could bring jeans, other long pants, and a few t-shirts. A light jacket or light sweater will be pleasant for the cooler moments. Rain is likely on several days, so bring a good rain jacket. Expect water temperatures of around 4°C (39°F), which is definitely too cold for comfortable swimming. Your luggage space is better used for other items.
