AquaDash Swim Parka Sustainable Fabrics Adult & Kids, Extra Long, Natural Cotton, Formerly Great Aussie Swim Parkas

I love these! Bought them for an Alaska cruise because we wanted to use the pool, but it is COLD & WINDY when you get out of the nice heated pool. They were perfect! Now my kids use them for swim lessons. There are too many kids trying to change in a small locker room (plus I can’t go in the men’s locker room with my son), so they just throw these on and get in the car and change at home. It’s like a towel inside, but the water does not soak through and get the seat of the car wet. Plus they have pockets, so my son can take his case to put it glasses in before he gets in the pool. Perfection!

I love it, perfect for competitive swimming.

This swim parka is amazing! I searched for a long time before purchasing the AquaDash swim parka, and am so glad I found this one. It is PERFECT. The quality is top AAA+++, the fit is great, the parka is easy to put on, and the 100% cotton lining is absorbent, warm and cozy. This week, while I was getting ready to leave the warmth of the outdoor heated pool at our gym, the building had a false fire alarm. I was able to stand poolside in my beautiful new swim parka with hood and be cozy and warm, until they let us back into the building. I ordered one size up (M) so I could put on the swim parka as fast as possible, to minimize exposure to the cold air (its winter here in MD). The pink lining adds a great color burst. Thank you AquaDash!

I've tried on many swim parkas until I found this one. Most of them barely cover the knees on a 5'9" person. I wanted a longer one. This is it. The terry lining absorbs and keeps warm, the exterior fabric is soft and not as stiff as some of the other's I've tried on and keeps wind and cold out.I wear 1X in clothing and chose the XL parka. I could have gotten sway with an L but wanted to be able to keep the parka zipped while sitting down in the car. Since the material does not stretch one needs a little more room for that purpose. I would have liked the zipper to have been 2" longer, like on the 2X version so that the legs aren't exposed when walking or sitting down. I might add a button and elastic hoop (like on the sleeves) for that purposeThe parka wears well and looks good, even when a little roomy.Hint: dry off your arms before trying to snuggle into the parka. With wet arms the linking is being pulled into and out of the sleeves.

I was desperate to find a swim parka that had a cotton lining and this is the only one that I know of. But even better, it’s warm, well-designed and practical. I live in New England and have recently taken up winter swimming. I drive to the beach wearing my suit and swim parka. Take it off, get in the ocean (4 C, 41 F), swim, dry off with a towel, put my parka on and go home!!! It feels great and looks great! And it is very affordable.
