Why I Swear by My Hooded Towel – Especially in Winter

Let’s be real! Getting in and out of the pool in winter is not for the faint-hearted. But ever since I started using one of our Amity Blue hooded towels, I honestly haven’t looked back. It's made my routine so much easier, warmer, and way more comfortable.

While most people at the pool are juggling big, bulky bags and trying to wriggle out of their swimmers in the change rooms, I’ve simplified everything. I wear my swimmers under my hooded towel, pop all my pool gear (goggles, cap, board and ear plugs) into the matching recycled backpack it comes with, and I’m good to go.

After my swim, I just pull on my hooded towel and head straight to the car. No need for a separate towel, no need to get changed straight away, and no damp car seat either. I stay warm and cosy until I get home and nothing feels bulky or annoying. It’s honestly all about making life easier.

These towels aren’t just great for the beach, they’re brilliant for any time you’re in and out of the water, especially when it’s cold. They dry fast, feel soft and plush, and give you the coverage you need when you’re trying to keep the chill off. And the best part? They’re made from recycled plastic bottles, so you’re making a better choice for the planet too.

Sometimes it’s the little things that make all the difference.

This towel-turned-poncho has definitely become one of my favourite everyday items. It’s functional, comfy, and makes winter swimming actually enjoyable.
