Swimming related gifts for kids learning to swim

[EmGee]

My DDs are both learning to swim this year in class. They have costumes, goggles and towels (those micro fibre ones from Decathlon).

Any ideas where I could get some nice dive sticks? Other swimming related gifts - had thought of a nice swim bag. I think I saw someone recommend a good online swimming website recently which I have now forgotten! TIA

Amazon has loads, there's a whole range of finding Dory stuff that is mostly reduced now too.

Swimshop is good for swimming stuff. The usually have fun swim hats as well as sinker toys etc

My two had these little sharks which rotate as they do down; they still use them in fact:

Amazon has swim toys, things like sinking sticks, flip toys you have to blow underwater to flip over and so on.

I got some nice swim bays on eBay with their names on, we got mermaid ones but there's a big range.

I found a lovely swim bag on Not On the Highstreet which I had personalised.

I bought zoggs dive sticks that DD loves.

Sports direct has cheap dive sticks, goggles, nose clips,

A noodle.

Those towels that they wear like a cape, and have a hood. Usually decorated like a character.

A beach ball to play with in the water.

Zoggs dive sticks are very well liked by the kids at our pool

I'm guessing you might not have space at a public pool, but this style cric us popular - very flat, and 4 handles.

Oh, and a set of flippers /snorkle set if your pool will allow.

A friend does printed clothing and has lovely kitbags for £12 printed - you send her a pdf of what you want, and she prints it on the bag

Trunki paddlepak swimming bags are really good, and in fun designs

Zoggs is a good swim accessories brand. Mine love the dive sticks
