Gift Ideas for Swimmers

In order to improve our performance, take care of our hair and skin, and swim comfortably, swimmers need a wide variety of products. Here are a few of our favorites:

1. A swim cap

A swim cam is a great gift for swimmers

A swim cap is a great gift because swimmers can protect their hair from chlorinated water. They may not be liked by everyone, but if you spend a lot of time in the pool, you should wear one.

Swim caps come in a variety of types, including:

  • Silicone is great for competitive swimmers and people with long hair
  • Latex is a great choice for frequent swimmers who enjoy variety
  • Rubber is perfect for swimmers who like to swim in cold water
  • Swimming caps made of lycra or spandex are ideal for recreational swimmers who are looking for a comfortable fit
  • A great choice for open water swimmers is neoprene

2. A swimmers shampoo

Give a specialized shampoo like Trihard’s Swimmers Shampoo

If you’ve been swimming for a while then you’ve probably noticed that chlorine is damaging to our hair and causes it to become dry and brittle, and sometimes have a distinct pool smell after swimming. The solution is a specialized shampoo like Trihard’s Swimmers Shampoo.

Our shampoo is specially formulated to remove chlorine from your hair, hydrate it, relieve potentially itchy scalps, and remove the characteristic pool smell from your hair after swimming.

3. A swimmers body wash

A swimmers body wash like Trihard’s helps hydrate and rejuvenate dry skin and calms irritated skin post-workout.

The same is true with our skin, where chlorine bonds to it and robs it of vital oils, making it dry, leaving an unpleasant odor behind. This leaves us in need of skin care. However, the problem can be solved by using a swimmer's body wash.

4. A pair of goggles

Goggles keep water out of our eyes, they also help prevent eye infections and irritation caused by chlorine

Without some form of protection, we cannot see underwater properly. While in the water, goggles are crucial to protect our eyes from water and allow us to see. Since goggles keep water out of our eyes, they also help prevent eye infections and irritation caused by chlorine.

Some of the best goggles for swimming are:

5. A swimmers body lotion

TRIHARD's Pre & Post Swim Body Lotion provides an additional layer of protection for swimmers skin

Before swimming, swimmers can use a body lotion like TRIHARD's Pre & Post Swim Body Lotion to provide an additional layer of protection for their skin. By applying the lotion before swimming, you can prevent any negative side effects associated with the absorption of pool and ocean chemicals.

We recommend using our after-swim body lotion to soothe and hydrate dry and itchy skin.

Gift Ideas for Swim Coaches

While the needs of a swim coach may overlap with those of other swimmers, they also have needs that others do not. Below are some of the best gift ideas we've found:

1. A swimmers skin and hair care kit

A skin and hair care kit will ensure your coach has everything they need to properly take care of their physical health while in the pool

Swim coaches often spend long hours in chlorinated water which creates a chlorine cover on their skin and hair. The chlorine cover takes away the natural oils that are needed to have healthy scalps, hair, and skin.

In addition, after being in the pool for so long, our skin becomes imbued with that distinct pool smell. A skin and hair care kit will ensure your coach has everything they need to properly take care of their physical health while in the pool.

2. A swim coach mug

Giving a funny mug to our coach can always put a smile on their face

Giving a funny mug to our coach can always put a smile on their face. Choose a mug that conveys the message you want, and we're sure your coach will love it.

3. DragSox

DragSox help develop power in your legs

DragSox are, as the name implies, socks that were designed to create a lot of drag on your feet. DragSox help develop power in your legs by training the muscles you need to have faster, stronger kicks. If your coach is the type of person who is always looking to improve and grow stronger, we are sure they’ll find them useful.

4. A backpack

If your coach has the right backpack, he or she can carry everything they need for their workout and their lessons

A backpack is a must for swimmers. If your coach has the right backpack, he or she can carry everything they need for their workout and their lessons. Choose a backpack that you believe will bring a smile to your coach's face.
