Christmas Gift Ideas For Swimmers

Christmas is just around the corner, and if you’re looking to make a splash with the perfect gift for the swimmer in your life, you’ve come to the right place! Whether they’re seasoned pros, young beginners, or open water enthusiasts, there are endless options that are both practical and fun. Here’s a roundup of Christmas gift ideas that will bring a bit of extra cheer to the UK’s swimmers this festive season.

Swim Towels and Robes

A soft, quick-drying towel or a cosy swim robe is a must-have for every swimmer. For winter swimming or early morning sessions, consider a hooded robe, like a Dryrobe, which offers warmth and comfort right after stepping out of the pool or lake. This is a thoughtful gift that combines practicality with a personal touch.

High-Quality Goggles

Goggles are essential for any swimmer, and a high-quality pair can make all the difference. Look for goggles that offer anti-fog coating, UV protection, and a comfortable fit. Brands like Speedo and Zoggs offer a range of goggles designed for different needs, including open water and competitive swimming. If they already have a trusty pair, consider a stylish protective case to keep them safe and scratch-free.

Swim Training Equipment

Help them boost their performance with swim training gear like kickboards, pull buoys, hand paddles, or resistance bands. These accessories can help improve technique, strength, and speed, making them ideal for anyone looking to up their swimming game. You can often find these items in sets, which is a great way to give a comprehensive gift that covers multiple aspects of training.

Open Water Essentials

For open water swimmers, the UK’s cold winter months can be particularly challenging. Thermal caps, neoprene gloves, and booties are excellent gift ideas to help them brave the colder temperatures. Consider a brightly coloured tow float for safety, which provides visibility in open water and doubles as a floatation device for rest breaks. Many tow floats also come with waterproof storage compartments, perfect for holding keys or a phone.

Swim Bag with Wet & Dry Compartments

Every swimmer needs a good bag that can handle wet gear without leaking or smelling musty. A waterproof bag with separate compartments for wet and dry items will make a world of difference, keeping wet swimsuits and towels away from dry clothes and electronics. Look for durable, lightweight options that also have enough space for all the essentials.

Gift Cards

Not sure what to get? A gift card to their favourite swim shop or local pool can be a brilliant option. This way, they can choose exactly what they need, whether it’s new swimwear, accessories, or even extra swim sessions. Simply Swim offer gift vouchers that can be used towards swimwear and equipment, which is a lovely gesture for both beginners and dedicated swimmers.
