Sometimes you find a product out there that makes you think, “These make so much sense. Why didn’t I know about these sooner?” Well, ladies and gents, Swim Parkas dive straight into this category and deliver an ‘a-ha moment’ that will change our lives for the better!
Swimming lessons, trips to the beach, pool parties and creek dips just got a whole lot easier thanks to an innovative product that makes drying off after any daily water activity drama-free.
Swim and go with AquaDash’s Swim Parkas, the after-swim solution making a huge splash.
What is a Swim Parka?
AquaDash arrived on the scene in 2011 and has grown from strength to strength. Since launching the brand, AquaDash has expanded into swimwear and swim gear but their clever swim parkas remain the hero.
AquaDash Swim Parkas are a clever combination of a swim towel and a waterproof jacket. They feature a 100% cotton towel lining for warmth and comfort on the inside, and a waterproof outer shell to keep the kids (and your car seats) dry. The outer shell is made from recycled plastic bottles and is free from harmful PFAS chemicals that are too often used in waterproofing processes. AquaDash is all about doing their part for the environment while keeping you warm and your car seats dry.Â
FUN FACT: AquaDash also donates a portion of every sale towards creating positive impacts somewhere in the world through the Buy 1 Give 1 initiative.
What is the Point of a Swim Parka?
AquaDash Swim Parkas were designed by an Aussie mum who was looking for a quick yet practical getaway from the pool after swim lessons.
The main function of a swim parka is to keep children dry, remove the need to change after swim lessons or beach trips and eliminate the public change room meltdowns that follow water-related activities.
Ditch the Public Change Rooms
There’s no need to hit the public change rooms and deal with the cold-air/wet-skin/tight-pants problems. There’s also no need to worry about dealing with boy/girl changerooms or, if you have two kids, trying to navigate getting them both changed and dry at once.
Simply put on the swim parka, zip it up and off you go. There is no need to pack a towel anymore, either.
Parents who have their children in year-round swim lessons will know the struggle of trying to get the kids dry and warm after jumping out of the pool. With these clever swim parkas, you don’t even need to undress the kids at all. Pack them a parka and you will be out the door in seconds. How’s that for the ultimate swim lesson hack?
Just Swim, Zip and Go
The extra long, lush cotton towelling will keep them warm and dry, and Swim Parkas are completely fine to pop over wet bathers. With the sustainable waterproof outer shell, you won’t have to worry about wet bums or wet car seats.
Each parka also features a heavy two-way zip, spacious legroom, an inside name label and even two zippered pockets. Â
Dry without Dramas
However, they aren’t just ideal for swim lessons. They are a staple for any water-related adventure. Many creeks, beaches, waterfalls and other watering holes won’t have change rooms, and with a swim parka in your bag, it simply doesn’t matter.
They are also ideal for keeping warm and dry during outdoor play and while away camping, plus they can withstand cold weather and rain showers. The cosy fitted hood is perfect for wet hair and the extra-long length acts as a wearable blanket.
How Big Should a Swim Parka Be?
Swim parkas are designed to be worn loose and fit big, so we recommend upsizing to get years of use. The quality of AquaDash swim parkas is exceptional and you’ll easily be able to hand them down to siblings. They come in a range of sizes too, with children’s sizes 4 to 14 and adults right up to 3XL.
AquaDash swim parkas are NDIS-approved and they recently introduced a wide sleeved parka for adults with mobility issues.
Is a Swim Parka Worth it?
If you have kids who love the water, then a swim parka is 100% worth it. Kids who are regularly at the beach, pool, creeks or even outdoors will live in them and they are, without a doubt, the must-have accessory for all Aussie beach bums and water babes.
