New swimming kit we love

Here at Outdoor Swimmer, we love to try out new swimming kit. It could be anything from something to wear or a problem-solving creation we never knew we needed. Read on for a round-up of our favourite new pieces this month. 

Xtratuf Après Fish Slider | £45

A one-piece, lightweight slide made completely of BIO LITE, a low-compression, high-performance EVA foam that delivers superior impact absorption and support. 

Why we love them: These are the first sliders with a slip resistant surface for your foot, so when your feet are wet you don’t slip and slide within your sliders!

Beach Powder | £10.99

Love the beach but hate the sand? Beach Powder gets rid of sand instantly! Looks like talc but with none of the nasties. 

Why we love it: Finally, a solution for sand removal that doesn’t smell like old ladies or is harmful. Natural, eco-friendly, and brilliant on big and small people!

KitBrix Poncho | £99.90

Oversized fit, KitBrix Poncho gives plenty of room for tucking your arms in, keeping warm and drying off. 

Why we love it: Affordable, made from recycled plastic bottles, comfortable and useful. Lots of robes on the market, but this is functional and comes in kid’s size too!

Red Paddle Co & Clarks All-Terrain SUP Water Shoe | £99.95

Limited-edition SUP Water shoe combines Red’s expertise with Clarks deep understanding of shoe design

Why we love them: Super light, comfortable and great grip on a board. They are brilliant for playing, jumping, and running about in and out of the water. 

MoonBlanket Compact | £107.85

Recycled Synthetic Insulation top blanket and poncho in one. 

Why we love it: A great versatile piece of kit. Can be a great additional blanket for camping or after swimming and can transform into a poncho. The tech makes it warm too!

Yeti CAMINO®35 CARRYALL | from £130

Built for an on-the-go lifestyle. Bring it to the beach to keep wetsuits contained on the way home. A tough-as-they-come bag that will carry pretty much anything.

Why we love it: Love the colour. Love the design. Love that we can fit everything in and there are pockets for important things and sections for wet bits.
