10 Christmas Gifts for Swimmers
We’re finally in December – the month of festivities, Christmas jumpers, mince pies, over enthusiastic Christmas caroller, amazing markets and hot chocolate. And as Andy Williams would say (or sing), it’s the most wonderful time of the year!
Although we take pride in decorating our trees and making it a fun, unforgettable occasion for our family and loved ones, we understand the stress of gift buying and trying to figure out who needs and wants what.
We’ve just made Christmas shopping a little easier for those who are buying for swimmers! We’ve chosen our top 10 Christmas gifts for swimmers that we’re confident they’ll love. And if it’s not something they want, it’ll be something they need. Shall we take a look? Let’s go.
1. Anti-Fog Goggles
Foggy goggles are a frustration every type of swimmer has experienced and disrupted vision doesn’t help the swim, at all. Anti-fog goggles have a coating that makes it much harder for condensation to stick to the lenses. It’s also wise to use anti-fog spray as an extra precaution. This is sprayed on the inside of the lens, and the goggles and lenses must be washed after every swim.
