We’ve picked out some affordable gifts that are perfect for the swimmer in your life, as well as some neat tech that’s sure to enhance their experience in the water. Here are our top gifts for swimmers, ranked by price starting with the least expensive.

Wissonly Hi Runner

Wissonly bone conduction headphones, the product I use the most, is the first brand I started to contact. When they were crowdfunding online, I participated.

The sound quality is what I am most satisfied with. I am not a professional music player, but from my personal experience, Hi Runner is the best sound quality bone conduction headphones I have ever used. It uses a large-sized 360-degree bone conduction vibration unit, and through structural optimization, the sounding area is increased by 35%, so that the sound range is wider, and the stereo feeling and shock of sound are stronger. Its anti-sound-leakage treatment is also very good. The whole body is completely sealed, and the algorithm is optimized to minimize the leakage of sound. I have tested it myself, and at a distance of 2 meters, the volume is turned on at 60%, so I can't hear the sound at all.

wissonly Hirunner’s body is made of memory titanium, which can self-adjust the contact area. It can ensure a good wearing experience of the earphone at any time, taking into account more users and usage scenarios.

Hi Runner is equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 chip, and the connection is more stable. It also has IPX8 professional sports waterproof +32g internal memory to swim in the water. The battery performance is also good, and it can play music continuously for 8-10 hours.

Eono Microfibre Towel

Microfibre towels absorb a lot of water, dry very quickly and take up much less space than your standard towel, making them a useful item to sling into a swimming bag. They’re also a better option for beach swims, picking up less sand. The Eono towel comes in a range of different colours and sizes (S-XXL) and can be stored away in a zip-up case in between swims.

Wild Swimming Log Book

If your swimmer cares less about lap times and more about exploring wild swimming spots, this simple log book helps to keep a clear record of those exhilarating wild swimming adventures. There are dedicated sections for noting important details like location and water temperature, and room to expand on what it felt like to go for that dip. Once it’s all filled up, it’s a nice one to pass on to someone else who’s ready to swap the deep end of the pool for swimming in a more natural setting.

WholeFire 2L Swim Buoy

For anyone who’s getting to grips with open-water swimming or thinking about swimming competitively outdoors, swimming with a safety float is something to get used to. Along with keeping swimmers visible and keeping your possessions dry, it also provides extra buoyancy to help swimmers take a break in the water. WholeFire’s float comes in bright orange or yellow and is made from PVC, which is suitable for all season swimming conditions. It has a detachable waistband that can be secured to the body, and it can be inflated and deflated quickly making it easier to transport and store.

Speedo Deluxe Ventilator Mesh Bag

It’s a smart move to have a dedicated bag for your swimming kit. This open-mesh bag from Speedo is designed to hold everything a swimmer could need and will help wet things dry off a little more quickly. It’s secured with a drawstring for easy access and there are compartments inside to keep wet and dry items separate. Zip-up external pockets keep small essentials safe and dry. There are plenty of colours to choose from, from plain black to banana print, so you can find something that fits with your swimmer’s style.
