Gifts for Any Swimmer on Your Shopping List

Your son or daughter is on a swim team or goes to swimming classes at a local YMCA. You may have someone on your list who takes water aerobics or just swims at the beach. You want to buy them a gift they can use to make swimming more enjoyable. Here are five great swimming gifts that any swimmer will love.

Swimming Gifts Idea #1 Waterproof MP3 player

Any swimmer would love swimming to music. The XtreaMP music player is waterproof and holds 240 songs. It is shock and skip free. The mp3 player comes with the arm strap that wraps around their arm and holds the player in place while swimming. The set comes with waterproof tight fitting ear buds and the player can withstand water up to 15 feet. Retail price is $149.99 but there are less expensive models out there.

Swimming Gifts Idea #2 Goggles

Goggles make a great gift for any swimmer. You can purchase these from anywhere from $5 to $25 dollars. They offer anti fog glasses that a bit more expensive but you can also purchase anti fog spray separately to spray the lenses yourself. You can try and match the color of the goggles to their swim suit they come in a large range of colors. You can also buy a case for the goggles to make it easier for them to carry in their backpacks. This idea makes a great stocking stuffer idea for Christmas.

Swimming Gift Idea #3 Swimming Footwear

Every swimmer could use a good pair of swimming footwear. Swimming shoes such as water shoes are easy to get on and off. You can purchase them with velcro straps, zippers or plain slide ons. The traction of the shoes are made for slippery surfaces and are available in a large range of colors and sizes for men, women and kids.

You can purchase the Speedo Womens Wave Walker which zips for $17.95 and comes in colors pink, blue, black, brown and white. Try and match the swimming footwear to their swimwear.

Swimming Gift Idea #4 Mesh Bag or Backpack

Another great gift for swimmers is a mesh bag or backpack to carry their swimming gear back and forth. I like the TYR Big Mesh Mummy Bag 3 for $15.95. It is large enough to carry big items such as fins, buoys and more. It has a outside pocket for their mp3 players, waterproof camera or their goggles which makes it easier for them to grab items they use all the time. The bag also has a pocket for a water bottle. You can purchase this mesh bag in blue, black or pink which makes a great swimming gift for girls and boys.

Swimming Gift Idea #5 Sports Towel

A great gift is a sports towel made specifically for swimmers. The towels are made from ultra absorbant material and dry quickly. You just dry yourself off and wring the towel out. This way your swimmer won't have to carry a heavy soggy towel in their bag anymore. The towels come in a variety of colors.

You can purchase any of these items at any swimming shop, the prices I have listing here are from http://www.swimoutlet.com
