We understand that swimming lessons can become a chilly affair during winter months. While the myth of catching a cold from wet hair persists, which by the way is completely untrue, we’re here to help you make the colder months more comfortable for your child and less stressful for you. Here are some ideas and essential gear to consider:
1. Onesie
Onesies are perfect companions for swimming lessons. They make dressing up after a swim a breeze, especially when compared to struggling with jeans or tights on slightly wet legs. Check out some options:
2. Towelling Beach Dress/poncho
These ponchos not only keep your child cosy but also add an element of fun. Pretending to be Harry Potter or Hermione Granger is optional! Explore different choices from Dryrobe and Kings of Cotton
3.. Warm and Cozy Dryrobe
When it’s snowing outside, a Dryrobe is your go-to choice to ensure your child stays warm and comfortable. Find the perfect Dryrobe at Dryrobe
4. Woolly Hats or Swimming Hats
Whether to wear a woolly hat or a swim hat to avoid wet hair is the question. It depends on your preference. Find stylish options at Bernie Kids or consider Swim Generation swimming hats by contacting them at contact@swimgeneration.co.uk.
5. Hair Wrap Towel for Quick Drying
Say goodbye to dripping wet hair with super absorbent hair wraps. They also protect your child’s hair from heat damage. Explore options at Amazon or Dock and Bay
6. Fur-Lined Shoes for Quick Exits
After swimming lessons, the last thing you want is a battle to put socks on wet feet. Fur-lined boots or clogs can save you time and reduce stress. Consider options from Next, Crocs and H&M
