Our new hoodies from Selkie
We liked the new range of kit from Selkie Swim Company so much that we’ve partnered with them to supply our new hoodies. Selkie is a new brand focussed on providing the best possible kit for open water swimmers and this is reflected in the quality of their organic hard-wearing hoodies. Made with a double layered hood and raglan sleeves, the hoodies are designed to maintain their shape and fit. In addition, they are GOTS and Fair Wear certified production garments.

We’ve also got a new slogan for the back: "I came, I saw, I swam", which to us conveys the feeling, the freedom and the sense of adventure that open water swimming brings regardless of age or ability.

We hope you like them as much as we do.
