Dock & Bay Quick Dry Towels - Kids - Unicorn Waves

Useful all year round. Quick to dry. Easy to pack. And considerably less sand coming home with you.

A big fluffy cotton towel is lovely at home. For weekly swimming lessons, beach days and family holidays, it can be a bit less convenient.

It gets heavy when wet, takes ages to dry and, at the beach, seems capable of holding onto enough sand to recreate a small coastline in your car or hotel room.

And it isn’t just a summer problem. During winter swimming lessons, when everything takes longer to dry indoors, that soaking cotton towel can still be hanging around long after the swimming kit has been unpacked.

That’s why we like the Dock & Bay Kids Quick Dry Towel.

Made from Dock & Bay’s lightweight DryQ™ fabric, it’s super absorbent but designed to dry three times faster than cotton. So it gets your little swimmer dry without leaving you with a big, heavy towel that then takes forever to dry itself.

And when summer comes around, the clever loopless fabric means sand shakes off easily rather than getting buried in the fibres.

Less drying time. Less bulk. Less sand. And with the colourful Unicorn Waves design, it’s a towel kids can be excited to call their own.

Why we like it

💨 Dries 3× faster than cotton
Great for summer, but arguably even better during winter swimming lessons when getting thick cotton towels properly dry indoors can take forever.

🏊 Made for the weekly swimming bag
Lightweight, absorbent and compact, so it doesn’t take over the entire bag. Bring it home, get it dry and it’s ready for the next swimming lesson.

👃 Less time sitting around damp
Faster drying means less time hanging soggy in the bathroom or forgotten in the swimming bag — and less opportunity for that unmistakable damp-towel smell to develop.

🏖️ Sand shakes off easily
The loopless fabric is designed to let sand shake away rather than becoming trapped deep inside fluffy towel fibres.

🚗 Less of the beach coming home with you
Less sand transferred from towel to beach bag, car, hotel room or holiday apartment. We can’t promise a completely sand-free holiday with children, but every little helps.

💧 Lightweight but properly absorbent
It packs much smaller than a traditional cotton towel while still doing the important job of getting wet little swimmers dry.

🧳 Matching pouch included
Fold it down into its own pouch for swimming bags, beach bags and suitcases and it’s compact enough for children to carry themselves.

🦄 A towel they’ll actually love
Bright unicorns, rainbows and plenty of colour make Unicorn Waves easy for kids to spot and much more exciting than another plain swimming towel.

🌍 Made using recycled materials
Made from 83% recycled polyester and 17% polyamide, including recycled post-consumer plastic.

Our favourite feature

It’s useful twelve months of the year.

In winter, it’s a lightweight swimming-lesson towel that dries quickly at home instead of hanging around soggy for ages.

In summer, take it to the beach, shake the sand off, pack it into its little pouch and hopefully leave rather more of the beach at the beach.

And with the bright Unicorn Waves design, there’s a pretty good chance they’ll be happy carrying their own towel too.

Swimming lessons in January or beach days in August; it’s simply less wet, bulky, sandy stuff for parents to deal with.
