Gifts for Open Water Swimmers Under $50

Open water swimming has a completely unserved gift ecosystem. Pool-swimming gifts — lane ropes, kickboards, chlorine-soaked googles — are useless here. The open water swimmer contends with cold, currents, natural light variations, and no lane lines to follow. What they need is the orange buoy that keeps them visible, the thermal cap that extends their season, the goggles that cut through morning glare on a choppy lake.
