Zoggs’ Stocking fillers

We all know that if you start kids off in the right way, you've got a swimmer for life! We don’t just mean teaching them to swim safely, they need to have fun in the water too.

This is one of the reasons Zoggs makes our pool games suitable for babies and children at all abilities, and what better time of year than Christmas to give them a little something to help improve their water confidence.

Here are a few of our favourites which make the perfect festive gift:

If your little one is starting out...

Our Zoggy Soakers are great for those at Stage 1! Designed to help young children get used to feeling the water on their arms, this set includes Zoggy the Seal, Cedric the Crab and Ozzy the Octopus. They can be introduced as splashers at bath time so your child can get familiar with them if they've not been in a swimming pool before. These characters also make for a fun pool game as they float (and they're squeezable!)

For when they're getting the hang of it...

At Stage 2, our Seal Flips are a brilliant way to improve breathing techniques in the water - children can just blow the seal to make it's head flip! The seal flips float too, so they can be used during a swim and retrieve game, which is ideal for developing swimmers (who are in a swim jacket or armbands). 

For when they've become confident in the water...

Finally, our favourite toys for confident swimmers are our Zoggy Dive Sticks. Kids can take the plunge by using these in a dive and retrieve game. Simply throw them into the water, wait until they land at the bottom of the pool, filling with water on the way down, and then dive to get them! These are ideal for developing diving skills (and perhaps encouraging a little healthy competition!). For children over 3 years, we also have superhero dive toys (Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman) which are soft, flexible and lots of fun!
