The Splash About Christmas Gift Guide 2025
Deck the halls with swimsuits and nappies, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-splash!
Christmas morning is pure magic when you see your little one's face light up as they unwrap their presents. But let's be honest, after the seventh soft toy, ninth battery-operated singing character and yet another bag of chocolate coins that’ll be seeing them through till February, you might be wondering if there's anything left that could actually surprise and delight your precious bundle of joy.
Well, have we got news for you! This year, why not think outside the Christmas box and give gifts that will create lasting memories, support your child's development, and maybe even save your sanity during those chilly winter swim lessons? Welcome to our 2025 Christmas gift guide, where practicality meets pure festive joy.
Why Swimming Gifts Make the Perfect Christmas Presents
Before we dive into our magical selection, let's chat about why swimming-related gifts are absolute game-changers for Christmas 2025:
-
Unlike some toys that break by Boxing Day, quality swimwear and swimming accessories will be used throughout the year, supporting your child's swimming journey and creating countless happy memories.
-
Let's face it, your little ones are growing faster than you can say "Ho Ho Ho," and they'll always need fresh swimwear, especially if you're regular pool visitors or have exciting holiday plans.
-
Swimming is one of the most important life skills we can give our children. These gifts aren't just presents; they're investments in your child's confidence, safety, and physical development.
-
No one wants to start back swimming in January with cold babies, leaky swim nappies, and difficult changing room situations. These gifts will keep your little one warm, mitigate the risk of embarrassing leaks and make your swimming experience smoother than a Lindt chocolate on Christmas morning.
Christmas Gifts for Babies (0-2 Years): Tiny Treasures for Your Little Water Baby
Happy Nappy Duo™ – The World's Most Advanced Christmas Gift
If you're buying just one gift this Christmas, make it this one. The Happy Nappy Duo™ isn't just a swim nappy; it's a revolutionary piece of technology that every parent needs to know about.
It’s the world's only reusable swim nappy with a silver lining. The inner layer contains active silver technology that's scientifically proven to kill harmful germs like Cryptosporidium and E.coli before they can enter the pool water. It's like giving your baby (and every other swimmer) a protective shield.
But here's the real Christmas miracle for parents: it's approved as a double nappy system, which means no more buying those expensive disposable swim nappies that take 500 years to decompose. You're essentially giving the gift of environmental responsibility AND saving money throughout the year.
Perfect for: Eco-conscious parents, families attending swim schools, and anyone who wants the ultimate leak protection.
Warm In One™ Wetsuit – The Christmas Hug in Wetsuit Form
Parents tell us their babies have fallen asleep in the pool wearing our Warm In One™ Wetsuits. They’re fully lined with luxurious fleece, creating a warm barrier between your baby and the water. The full-length sleeves and legs provide complete coverage, and the clever cuffs help maintain warmth while keeping barrier creams exactly where they need to be. It’s like gifting your baby a hug that lasts their whole swimming session.
Perfect for: Babies who feel the cold, winter swimmers, and families planning a UK holiday.
Thermaswim Baby & Toddler Suits – The Winter Wonder
These clever thermal suits are designed specifically for cooler swimming conditions and outdoor adventures. These aren't just swimsuits; they're multi-purpose thermal suits that work brilliantly when you need extra warmth!
Made with luxurious brushed fleece on the inside and smart moisture-wicking fabric on the outside, they're designed with four-way stretch that moves naturally with active little bodies. The real genius? Their incredible versatility means they double as thermal base layers for those crisp winter adventures.
Important note: These thermal suits are designed for pools up to 32°C and shouldn't be used in hydropools due to the risk of overheating.
Perfect for: Families who swim in cooler conditions, winter beach holidays, outdoor water activities, or winter holidays.
Happy Nappy™ Wetsuit – The Christmas Classic
This is a great Christmas gift option for busy families who want to pack quickly and efficiently for the pool and get their little one ready with ease. It combines warmth, style and faecal leak protection in one convenient package. Made from 1mm neoprene with the famous Happy Nappy™ technology built right in, it keeps babies warm AND leak-protected.
Perfect for: First-time parents looking for peace of mind when they take their precious little one to the pool in 2026.
After Swim Waterproof Onesie Bugs Life
After Swim Waterproof Onesie – The "Aww" Factor Champion
Hands down, the cutest, most practical gift that guarantees those "aww" sounds from the grandparents on Christmas morning. Originally designed to make changing room routines easier, clever parents quickly discovered these work brilliantly as all-weather puddle suits too.
They are fully lined with fleece from hood to ankle, and have waterproof outer protection, and that generous hood keeps little heads warm and dry. It's like wrapping your child in a warm, protective cloud.
Perfect for: Every parent who's ever struggled in a cold changing room, families who love outdoor adventures, and anyone who appreciates genius design
Christmas Gifts for Toddlers & Children (2-8 Years): Big Kid Adventures Await
Go Splash Swim Vest – The Confidence Builder
This is the gift that turns tentative paddlers into confident swimmers! The Go Splash Swim Vest is specifically designed to hold children in the correct swimming position while providing just the right amount of buoyancy support.
It packs completely flat and is super light, leaving plenty of room for all those other holiday essentials (and Christmas presents you might be packing!). Children love the independence it gives them, while parents love watching their little ones discover their swimming potential.
Remember: Adult supervision is required when using swimming aids, and they can not be used in the sea.
Perfect for: Paddlers looking to take their swimming journey to the next level and little ones off on pooltastic holidays in the New Year.
Kids Wetsuits – The Adventure-Ready Collection
When your little water babies graduate to proper adventurers, they need gear that can keep up with their boundless energy and growing confidence!
The Shorty Wetsuits are brilliant for beach holidays and outdoor swimming adventures. Made from quality neoprene, they provide essential wind protection while still allowing plenty of freedom for active play. The sleeves and legs hit that perfect sweet spot, providing enough coverage to prevent windchill and minor scrapes, but not so much that energetic kids feel restricted.
Our UV Sun & Sea Wetsuits offer UPF50+ protection, blocking out 98% of harmful UV rays. For parents who've spent summers constantly reapplying sun cream and worrying about missed spots, these are absolute lifesavers.
The clever design covers shoulders, back, upper arms and legs, which are susceptible to sunburn. The close-fitting style reduces drag in the water, so children can swim and play naturally.
Remember: Apply sun cream to any exposed skin areas, such as faces, lower arms and legs, hands, and feet.
Perfect for: Beach holidays (especially those windy British seaside breaks!), outdoor swimming, active children who love extended water play, families who prioritise sun safety, and children with sensitive skin.
Swimming Toys & Pool Accessories – The Fun-Time Collection
Because what's Christmas without a few extra treats to make swimming even more magical?
Pufferfish Toys – The Mould-Free Marvels:
These ingenious little toys solve one of every parent's biggest bath time nightmares, mouldy bath toys! Splash About's pufferfish collection is made with absolutely no holes, which means no water gets trapped inside to create that horrible black mould that seems to appear in every other bath toy.
Painted with food-grade paint and designed specifically for little hands and mouths, they're completely safe for babies who are still in that "everything must be chewed" phase.
-
Flip & Float toys bob cheerfully along the surface, encouraging babies and toddlers to reach out, grab, and move towards them in the water. They're brilliant for developing coordination and building water confidence, especially for reluctant little swimmers who need that extra bit of encouragement.
-
Pufferfish Splash Balls are possibly the most genius invention ever: cuddly toys you CAN get wet! Made from soft neoprene, they're shaped perfectly for little hands to throw and catch, but they also work brilliantly as comfort toys in the water for children who need that extra bit of security.
Pool & Bath Mirrors – The Distraction Champions:
Every parent knows that sometimes you need a secret weapon to keep little ones happy, and these lightweight foam mirrors are exactly that! Specifically shaped for tiny hands to grip easily, they're perfect for entertaining reluctant swimmers or keeping babies content during those tricky poolside nappy changes.
The pufferfish design coordinates beautifully with the toy range, and parents love using them during tummy time, nappy changes, or those moments when you desperately need five minutes of distraction. Made from high-density foam acrylic, they're robust enough to survive enthusiastic baby handling without breaking into dangerous pieces.
Shark Kickboard – The Technique Teacher:
A kickboard doesn’t just have to signify swimming practice to a little one; it can mean adventure time, too! Our Shark Kickboard is exciting as well as practical. Suitable for children aged 2-6 years, it's the perfect size for little hands to grip while they practice their kicks and build leg strength.
The shark design is a stroke of genius; suddenly, boring swimming drills become exciting shark adventures. Children love pretending to "surf" with their shark friend, and parents love seeing their technique improve without any nagging required.
Snippets – The Eco-Friendly Heroes:
Snippets are adorable pool toys made from leftover materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill! These colourful toys prove that being environmentally responsible can also be incredibly fun.
Each toy is created from surplus materials from our manufacturing process, making them a brilliant way to teach children about recycling and environmental responsibility while they play. They're perfect for sensory development, bright enough to capture attention in busy pools, and tough enough to survive enthusiastic toddler play.
Christmas Gifts for the Whole Family: Because Parents Need Presents Too!
Thermaswim Adult Range – For Parents Who Dread the Cold
Let's be real, baby swimming lessons can be chilly for parents, especially during the winter months.

The adult collection includes:

Long-sleeved thermal tops with brushed fleece lining
