1. Speedo goggles
Speedo is a trusted brand when it comes to swimming gear, and their goggles are no exception. These particular goggles are great for racing and training, and they have anti-fog and UV protection.
2. Kickboard
A kickboard is a great tool for learning proper kicking technique. It’s also great for building leg strength. Get one that is durable and easy to grip so that your kid can get the most out of it.
3. Mesh bag
A mesh bag is essential for carrying all of your gear to and from the pool. It’s also great for wet gear because it allows everything to air out properly. This is the exact bag that my kids use for swim team!
4. Swim Training Pull Buoy
A swim team pull buoy is a great gift for kids on swim team. It helps them stay afloat and prevents them from getting tired as they swim laps during practice. It is also great way for kids to isolate their strokes using only their arms, and work on improving their technique.
5. Swim Fins
Fins are a great way to increase speed and build leg strength. They also help with body alignment in the water. Get a quality pair that will last long enough to get your money’s worth. These are the swim fins used by everyone on my daughter’s swim team! I actually bought a different pair for her before these, and we can really see the difference once she switched.
6. Stroke Counter
A stroke counter is a small device that attaches to your fingers and counts your strokes as you swim. It’s a great way to keep track of your progress and motivate yourself to keep swimming laps.
7. Swimming Cap
A good quality swimming cap can help reduce drag in the water and keep your hair out of your face. It’s also helpful for keeping your head warm in colder waters. Find one that fits snugly but is still comfortable to wear.
These are just a few ideas of gifts that any swimmer would love to receive! With Christmas just around the corner, start shopping now so that you can check everyone off of your list stress-free!
