We're on the approach to Christmas. It's that time of year when swimmers restock their aquatic gear and equipment. Maybe you're looking for a gift to surprise a special swimmer in your life, or you're hunting for the latest technological breakthrough to give your training the edge in 2025.
Either way, we've picked a variety of leading products from our favourite partners, as well as a few special offers fresh from the SwimTrek Shop.
Let's dive in.
Let's start off with a SwimTrek Swim Holiday Gift Voucher - the perfect way to begin your leap into our bucket list selection of trips around the world.
This year, give the gift of an adventure and start 2025 with a mighty splash.
TRAINING GEAR
If you're due to go on one of our SwimTrek Coaching Camps, take part in one of our Iconic Swim Races in 2025, or simply kick start your swim training, then Finis training aids are a must-have.
Finis Freestyler Paddles are patented hand paddles designed to improve technique, specifically for the freestyle stroke.
Unlike previous generations of hand paddles, the Freestyler is not designed for resistance and strength training but applies a hydrodynamic shape to decrease resistance through the water, thereby improving reach and distance per stroke.
Finis Edge Fins are the ultimate speed fins designed to optimise training without interrupting a natural kick cycle or compromising on comfort.
100% silicone and trademarked Smart Fin™ Technology reinforces a proper kick at high speeds, builds cardiovascular endurance and activates key muscle groups for a propulsive up-kick.
