7 Father’s Day Gifts for the Swim Dads<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Gigi Picard Swimming World College Intern<\/em><\/p>\n

One month ago, we celebrated the world\u2019s swim moms. What would we ever do without them?<\/span><\/p>\n

But now it\u2019s time to turn our attention to dads. They share in the agony of driving to the pool for those 5:45 a.m. practices – and, on race day, they bite their nails as much as mom when they watch us stretch for the wall to reach our half-second drop goal. So show your love and appreciation for all they do as supporters and spectators in your swim life. Here are some swimming-inspired gift ideas for Father\u2019s Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dad Card<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Father\u2019s Day card is a classic gift that never ever gets old because whether you buy it from the store or make it yourself, there can always be something personal added to it. But which one to get? Heartfelt is nice, humor works, but the cheesier the better is always perfect, too. Maybe, given the Olympic Trials are underway, you could say: \u201cHappy Father\u2019s Day to my Olympian at Heart!” Just be fun with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dad Jokes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If your dad is anything like mine, he thinks he\u2019s \u201creally funny\u201d and laughs at his own jokes. So why not give him some inspiration and something to laugh at by giving him a book of dad jokes all swim-themed. You can make it yourself too! One joke can be: What kind of stroke can you use on toast? Butter-fly! Remember, cheesy always works with dad.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hydration Station<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To keep your swim chauffeur hydrated for this summer practices, customize a water bottle for him. The clear or colored bottle could say \u201cChampion Swim Dad\u201d or have an Olympic ring design around or maybe along the side. Something else you could add is a motivational quote or two: <\/span>Just Keep Swimming <\/span><\/i>or a quote from his favorite swimmer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cap It Off<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It seems very appropriate to get some gear and do some pool training with the whole family this summer. So for Father\u2019s Day why not start off by gifting swim caps with maybe the Olympic rings or just the family last name? While you\u2019re at it, throw in goggles so you can be fully prepared for family training!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dryland Drip<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If your dad is in need of some new dryland fashion, you could always get him a short sleeve shirt that says: \u201cI Am A Swim Dad\u201d or a simple swimmer logo across the shirt and shorts. But if your swim dad is also very into hats, you could get him a swim baseball cap (yes I know a land sport) and maybe make it Olympic themed like Team USA or one with a flag on it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Crocs Without Socks<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Everybody knows the stereotypical dad wears socks and sandals. But any swim dad should know the proper swim footwear attire is Crocs. My suggestion is to find a pair of Crocs in his size and favorite color (solid color or pattern too), but preferably ditching the socks unless they\u2019re DragSox. If your swim dad already has a pair, then maybe buy him some jibbitz to add to his Crocs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dad Cushion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When you\u2019re able to get your swim dad off of the couch and at the meet, he\u2019ll still need some protection because not all of the bleachers are exactly cozy. I recommend a stadium seat cushion that dads can use during meets that can say \u201cDaughter in the Water\u201d for instance on the back. They work for swimming and if the swim dad has a water polo athlete too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To make the day extra special, I would also treat your swim dad to a meal with either takeout or going out to a restaurant and then watch the last day of the Olympic Trials with him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Happy Swim Dad Day everyone! <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
