Dear fellow swimmers
Perhaps more so than any time of year, summer is a time for simplicity. After all, you literally only need swimwear to enjoy the warmer water – and even that is optional! That said, a choice few pieces of outdoor kit can make things easier, safer and more comfortable: sunscreen that's ocean-friendly and made with swimmers in mind, a 'sauna bottle' that keeps you water
icy even in a heat wave, a stay-put two-piece for easy beach changing or a
spring suit for when you want to try a more adventurous swim. Read on for our best summer swimming kit recommendations!
We've also compiled our favourite swimming kit for kids, from cosy changing robes and rainbow tow floats, to rock pooling shoes and junior wetsuits. Plus, a round-up of our favourite tow floats and dry bags, so you can relax knowing your valuables are safe when you're in the water.
Finally, if you're going further afield, we've pooled our knowledge to bring you a guide to packing for swim travel.
So what are you waiting for? Come on in, the water is (genuinely) fine...
