Dock & Bay Quick Dry Towels - Kids - Tulum Blue

The towel that works just as well at swimming lessons as it does on holiday

Some swimming products only really earn their place in the bag for a few weeks of the year. This isn’t one of them.

The Dock & Bay Kids Quick Dry Towel in Tulum Blue is the sort of towel we like because it solves different annoyances depending on the season.

During the colder months, there’s the weekly swimming lesson. Thick cotton towels come home soaking wet, take up half the swimming bag and can seem to take forever to dry indoors.

Then summer arrives and the problem changes. Now that same fluffy towel is collecting sand, getting heavier by the minute and eventually making its way back into your car, hotel room or holiday apartment — sand and all.

Dock & Bay’s lightweight DryQ™ fabric tackles both.

It’s super absorbent but designed to dry three times faster than cotton, so it gets little swimmers dry without staying wet for hours afterwards. And because the fabric is loopless, sand shakes off easily instead of becoming trapped deep inside the towel.

All in a lightweight towel that packs away into its own matching pouch.

Why we like it

💨 Dries 3× faster than cotton
Particularly handy during autumn and winter when thick swimming towels can take ages to dry indoors. Use it for swimming lessons, bring it home and get it ready for next time without a soggy towel hanging around for days.

🏊 Great for regular swimming lessons
It’s lightweight and compact, so there’s more room in the swimming bag for everything else while still being absorbent enough to actually get them dry.

👃 Less of that damp-towel smell
Because it dries much faster than traditional cotton, it spends less time sitting around wet particularly useful if someone happens to forget there’s a damp towel lurking at the bottom of the swimming bag.

🏖️ Sand doesn’t want to stick around either
Dock & Bay’s loopless fabric allows sand to shake off easily rather than becoming embedded in fluffy fibres.

🚗 Leave more of the beach at the beach
Less sand trapped in the towel means less ending up in your beach bag, car, hotel room or holiday apartment. With children, we’ll take every small victory we can get.

💧 Lightweight but super absorbent
It feels much less bulky than a traditional cotton towel but still does the job it’s actually there for drying a soaking-wet child.

🧳 Small enough for suitcases and swimming bags
Fold it into the included matching pouch and it takes up surprisingly little room, whether you’re packing for Tuesday’s swimming lesson or two weeks in the sun.

🌊 Tulum Blue design
A bright, fresh blue design that’s fun enough for kids without being overly busy and distinctive enough to help identify whose towel is whose at the pool.

Our favourite feature

You don’t have to choose between a swimming towel and a beach towel.

Through winter, throw it in the swimming bag and enjoy having a towel that doesn’t take forever to dry at home.

When summer arrives, put the same towel in the suitcase and enjoy being able to shake off the sand rather than transporting it back from the beach.

Swimming lessons, pool days, holidays and beaches; one towel that makes sense for all of them.
