Choosing the right Christmas present for your family or friends is always a difficult decision that many people spend weeks mulling over.
The last thing you want to do is buy a gift for someone that will just get buried in the bottom of the wardrobe, or stashed in the attic, never to be seen again.
However, if you’re lucky enough to have a swimming enthusiast in your family or friendship group, things just got a whole lot easier!
Whether it’s the latest hi-tech swimming gadget, or the newest training accessory to help them with their early morning swim sessions, there are loads of great gift ideas for swimmers.
So if you’re wondering what to get a swimmer for Christmas, we’ve come up with a list of our top 10 gift ideas. You’ll find inspiration here to suit any budget, and take the stress out of your Christmas shopping!
Top 10 Christmas gifts for swimmers
1) Swimming MP3 Player
A waterproof MP3 player is a great gadget for swimmers, as it will give them the chance to listen to their favourite music or podcasts during those long solo swim sessions.
The FINIS Duo is an MP3 player designed specifically for swimmers. It clips securely to the goggle straps and delivers crystal-clear sound through the cheekbones to the inner ear (rather than traditional ‘ear buds’ which can easily fall out of the ear during swimming).
The FINIS Duo has 4gb of storage which can hold up to 1000 songs. It has up to 7 hours of battery life on a full charge.
2) Swimming Watch
Swimming watches are a fantastic item to help swimmers with training, particularly when they are swimming alone or without the supervision of a coach.
These waterproof watches not only act as a stopwatch to record times, but will also count laps, strokes, distance, speed, efficiency, duration, sets, rest time and calories.
This data is a real benefit for swimmers. It helps them instantly understand how they performed, while inspiring them to set future training goals and targets.
The Swimovate Poolmate range of swimming watches are a top choice. They offer excellent value for money, and there is also a special Poolmate HR watch which also monitors heart rate.
3) FINIS Tempo Trainer Pro
This small but highly effective gadget will be a valuable tool for helping swimmers with their pace training.
Fitted under the swim cap, or to the goggles strap, it transmits a single beep which can be set to repeat anywhere between 0.20 and 99.99 seconds. The swimmer then uses this to train their pace accordingly.
The FINIS Tempo Trainer Pro also has Stroke Mode, Training Mode and Strokes Per Minute Mode. It’s like having your own electronic coach in the water with you!
4) Swimmer hair and skincare
Hair and skincare is vitally important to swim enthusiasts, who need to thoroughly wash away the effects and smell of chlorine.
There are a range of products available to help swimmers keep their hair and skin moisturised and hydrated while removing chlorine odour.
The SBR TriSwim range is hugely popular among swimmers, and features products including SBR TriSwim Shampoo, SBR TriSwim Conditioner, SBR TriSwim Lotion and SBR TriSwim Body Wash. Alternatively, you can buy the SBR TriSwim Bundle for the ultimate Christmas present.
5) Swim bag
Swimmers always like to have a new swim bag! What better way to start the new year than with a bright, clean and fresh new bag to take your kit to and from the pool?
Modern swim bags have fantastic designs to really maximise the available space, so there’s room for keeping wet and dry equipment separate, as well as compartments for goggles, water bottles and other essential training aids.
Our most popular bags include the TYR Alliance and Arena Spiky 2 backpacks. For more inspiration, you can check out our Top 10 Swim Backpacks blog article!
6) Swim nutrition pack
You can help the swimmer in your family stock up on essential swim nutrition products which will help them get the most out of their New Year swim training.
There are a variety of sports nutrition bars, drinks, energy gels and recovery shakes to help swimmers perform at the highest levels before, during and after training.
Nutrition brands such as TORQ and GU offer a full range of healthy nutritional aids, while brands such as Beet It and CherryActive specialise in nutritional recovery juices. All our sports nutrition products are available to buy in boxes.
7) Swim sportswear
Swimmers want to look great away from the pool, as well as in it.
Arena is one of the world’s biggest swim brands and, alongside their racing and training swimsuits, they also have a full range of stylish sports apparel for swimmers to wear on any non-poolside occasion.
From smart and comfortable hoodies to T-shirts and jackets, check out this range for some sporty inspiration for this festive season’s Christmas present.
8) Swim goggles case
There’s nothing more frustrating than a scratched lens on a new pair of swimming goggles.
Buy your loved one a special goggles case and they’ll be able to keep theirs safe and secure when not in use.
You could also add some anti-fog spray or lens cleaner too, to ensure their goggles stay as good as new for longer.
9) Resistance band
Resistance bands are a really versatile training accessory that swimmers will love as much as any other athlete.
These bands can be used to improve recovery, flexibility, mobility and power during fitness training away from the pool.
The Fitness-Mad resistance bands are a really good choice, and they are available in a choice of light, medium or strong resistance strengths.
10) Swim water bottle
A new water bottle is always a great idea for a present or stocking filler, as older water bottles can sometimes start to smell or make the water taste strange.
A smart new swimming water bottle will help the swimmer in your life to stay hydrated during their training sessions, whether it’s for use poolside or in the gym.
We stock bottles from all the leading swim brands. These really are an essential item for any swimmer, and many swim bags have their own special compartment to carry one!
