After all, how many non-swimmers would willingly get into an ice-cold pool at 5 in the morning, or train for six months straight so they can cut just .01 off a time? That dedication deserves to be rewarded!<\/p>\n<p>Coaches and parents, you can get your swimmers gifts they are dying for, possibly literally. These are 10 Christmas gifts for swimmers. Some of them can&#8217;t be made in Santa&#8217;s workshop. <\/p>\n<p>Underwater Headphones<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_115690\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Underwater-headphones.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-115690\" data-attachment-id=\"115690\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/10-christmas-gifts-for-swimmers\/underwater-headphones\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Underwater-headphones.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,533\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Underwater headphones\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Underwater headphones&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: FINIS&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Underwater-headphones-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Underwater-headphones.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Underwater-headphones-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"Underwater headphones\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-115690\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-115690\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: FINIS<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nStaring at the bottom of a pool for hours a day can get extremely boring and tedious. Give your swimmer these for Christmas and it will redefine their swimming experience! Not only will it help keep your swimmer focused, but it will give them the extra boost of adrenaline they need to finish a set successfully.<\/p>\n<p>A Holiday Practice Get-Out Swim<br \/>\nCoaches, this is something only <i>you<\/i> can give your swimmers! Not only is it time off they deserve from all the yardage you will be giving them, but it\u2019s a way to push them past their breaking point. It\u2019s always important to motivate your swimmers to swim fast even when they are tired! <\/p>\n<p>Food<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_115692\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/food.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-115692\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/food.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Courtesy: Linda Nylind\" width=\"700\" height=\"480\" class=\"size-full wp-image-115692\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-115692\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Linda Nylind<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nWe all know swimmers are monsters in the pool and at the dinner table. Though when the holidays roll around, yardages are raised and double workouts are made mandatory. A swimmer&#8217;s hunger grows with the extra physical demands. Get your swimmer a variety of snacks to keep them satisfied. Nutrition bars, Powerbars, trail mix and peanut butter crackers are always easy for them to throw in their swim bags when they\u2019re on the go!<\/p>\n<p>Swim Bag<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/swim-bag.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"115694\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/10-christmas-gifts-for-swimmers\/swim-bag\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/swim-bag.gif\" data-orig-size=\"700,700\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"swim-bag\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/swim-bag-700x500.gif\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/swim-bag.gif\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/swim-bag-700x500.gif\" alt=\"swim-bag\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-115694\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nContinuing from my last point, swimmers do tend to carry nutrition bars, Powerbars, trail mix and peanut butter crackers in their bags &#8230; from 2006. I just received the second swim bag of my 14-year career last year! Swim bags are often forgotten as a present, but if you take a look at your swimmers\u2019 bags, you\u2019ll see that nine times out of ten, they could use one without the crumbs, mold and thick smell of chlorine.<\/p>\n<p>Chlorine Removal Shampoo<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/bad-hair.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"115695\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/10-christmas-gifts-for-swimmers\/bad-hair\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/bad-hair.gif\" data-orig-size=\"700,525\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"bad-hair\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/bad-hair-700x500.gif\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/bad-hair.gif\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/bad-hair-700x500.gif\" alt=\"bad-hair\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-115695\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nYou may be able to just buy your swimmers a new bag to get rid of the chlorine smell, but you can\u2019t do the same when it comes to their hair. Instead, try buying them a bottle of chlorine removal shampoo. Not only will it help with smell, but it will prevent their hair from going that beautiful shade of mold green!<\/p>\n<p>GoPro Camera<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/gopro.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"115696\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/10-christmas-gifts-for-swimmers\/gopro\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/gopro.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"750,399\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"gopro\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/gopro-700x399.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/gopro.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/gopro-700x399.jpg\" alt=\"gopro\" width=\"700\" height=\"399\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-115696\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThis camera can allow your swimmers to take awesome underwater photos!
