Swim Parka
A fleece lined swim parka is the perfect gift for swimmers, especially around the winter holidays when they could use an extra layer of warmth when getting out of the pool.
TYR Swim Backpack
Kelly R: This is a great bag for bringing swim gear to practice. It holds a lot, has a smaller pocket that's good for keeping the goggles separate and easy to find, and is well-ventilated so it doesn't get musty. We hang ours up in the garage between practices to let it fully air out.
Tesalate Towels
Kelly R: We replaced all of our pool towels with these, and they are awesome for bringing to swim practice because they take up such a small amount of room in the swim bag.
Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 Goggles
Kelly R: These are my teen swimmer's favorite goggles. His coach recommended them, specifically for the mirrored lenses since he swims outdoors. An extra pair is always a good stocking stuffer!
Crocs
Kelly R: Crocs are my swimmer's go-to shoes for swim practice. A new pair in a favorite color (or a color to match his team) would make a good gift.
Swim Shampoo & Conditioner
Pool chemicals are rough on the hair, so nice products designed to counteract this damage are useful gifts for swimmers.
Apple Watch Series 10
Need a splurge gift for your swimmer? The Apple Watch is swimproof and can track workouts, so he won't have to take it off before jumping in the pool.
