Dock & Bay Poncho Kids - Unicorn Waves

From pool to car. Beach to lunch. With a little more colour.

Getting children out of the water can be the easy part. Getting them dry, changed and fully dressed afterwards? Not always.

At the swimming pool, you’re dealing with busy changing rooms, wet floors, bags everywhere and a child who’s getting colder by the minute.

At the beach, add sand into the equation. Wet swimwear needs to come off, clean clothes need to somehow stay clean, and you’re trying to get them changed while preserving their dignity.

That’s why we love the Dock & Bay Kids Poncho.

Pop it over them when they get out of the water and you’ve immediately got a soft, absorbent cover-up with enough room for them to change underneath. Wet swimwear can come off while they stay covered, whether you’re standing on a beach or trying to escape a packed pool changing room.

And once they’re dry and comfortable?

They don’t necessarily need to get dressed at all.

After swimming lessons, they can leave the pool in their poncho, hop in the car and get properly dressed when you get home.

On holiday, they can leave the beach wearing it, walk back to the hotel or apartment or head straight off for lunch or an ice cream without going back to change first.

Sometimes making family swimming easier is simply removing one job from the list.

Why we like it

🦄 A design they’ll actually want to wear
Unicorn Waves is anything but boring. The colourful unicorn-and-rainbow design makes this feel more like something fun to wear than simply a towel you’re trying to wrap around them.

👕 A little changing room they can wear
The roomy poncho gives children privacy while wet swimwear comes off underneath — handy at the pool and even better when you’re changing on the beach.

🏊 Brilliant after swimming lessons
Get them dry, get the wet swimming things off and head home. If you don’t fancy battling with a busy changing room, the proper outfit can wait.

🏖️ Made for easier beach days
No trying to pull underwear and shorts onto wet, sandy legs. Get them dry and covered and carry on with your day.

🍦 Beach → lunch without going back to change
They’re dry, comfortable and covered, so there’s no reason you can’t leave the beach and head straight for food, an ice cream or wherever the day takes you next.

🌡️ Cosy after the water
Something warm and absorbent can go straight over them rather than leaving them standing around wet while you hunt through the swimming bag.

💧 Quick-drying & super absorbent
Dock & Bay’s quick-dry fabric is designed to dry up to three times faster than standard cotton, while absorbing plenty of water after swimming.

🏝️ Sand-friendly pockets
Mesh bottoms allow sand to fall through instead of collecting in their pockets — because there will already be quite enough sand coming home with you.

🧳 Compact & lightweight
It packs into its own handy pouch, taking up much less space in a swimming bag, beach bag or suitcase than a bulky traditional towel.

Our favourite feature

We love the practicality; pool to car, beach to lunch, without having to get completely dressed in between but with Unicorn Waves there’s another advantage:

It looks fun enough that children actually want to wear it.

And when something that’s making your life easier is also something they’re excited to put on, that’s a pretty good combination.
