Any ideas for a present for less than £20 for a beginner open water swimmer? Cheers

Boring but useful:

Alternatively, polarized goggles are nice. I love Zoggs Predators.

Goggle - dark ones for sunny days. If they do some training in the pool then various floats / pull bouys / gloves - paddly things - have a look on wiggle

wetsuit lube to stop chaffing
