Five Star Gift Ideas

If your grandpa enjoys wild swimming, you could consider some gift ideas that will enhance his experience and make his time in the water more enjoyable.

1. Waterproof camera: A waterproof camera would allow your grandpa to capture some amazing shots while he's swimming. Whether he wants to photograph wildlife or just document his swim, a waterproof camera would be an excellent gift.

2. Wetsuit: Depending on where your grandpa is swimming, a wetsuit might be a good idea to keep him warm in the water. Invest in a good quality wetsuit that fits him well and is designed for open water swimming.

3. Tow float: A tow float is a small inflatable device that your grandpa can tow behind him while he swims. This will make him more visible to boats and other swimmers and also provides a convenient place to store small items like a phone or keys.

4. Insulated water bottle: When your grandpa is swimming in the wild, he won't have access to a water fountain or vending machine. You can gift him an insulated water bottle so that he can stay hydrated throughout his swim.

5. Navigation tools: In some situations, it might be difficult for your grandpa to navigate while he's swimming. You can gift him a waterproof map or a compact GPS device that he can use to navigate.

6. First aid kit: Safety should always come first. Consider putting together a first aid kit that includes items like insect repellent, sunblock, blister pads, and even a whistle that he can use to call for help if necessary.

7. Dry bag: Most swimmers will need somewhere to keep their essentials dry while they're in the water. You could gift your grandpa with a dry bag that's big enough to fit his clothes, towel, and other belongings.

8. A book about wild swimming: Consider gifting your grandpa with a book about wild swimming. There are several books out there that cover everything from technique to swimming spots.

These are just a few ideas to get you started on your search for the perfect gift for your grandpa. Remember, the most important thing is that the gift is personal and shows that you appreciate and support his love for wild swimming.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
