Three Swimmers. One Gift Guide.

Not every swimmer approaches the water the same way and that’s exactly why we built this guide around three distinct types of athletes. Whether you’re shopping for someone who swims for joy, competes for the podium, or lives for long, cold, challenging days in open water, deboer gear is designed to meet them where they are.

This holiday season, think less about “one-size-fits-all” and more about how they actually swim.

The Casual Swimmer

The Casual Swimmer loves the water, not the pressure. They swim for fitness, clarity, and enjoyment. They may love early mornings, quiet lanes, and no stopwatch required. Gifts for this swimmer should feel comfortable, durable, and effortless.

These are the pieces that make getting in the pool feel easy and enjoyable, without overwhelming them with overly technical features.

Perfect for: fitness swimmers, lap lovers, and triathletes stacking winter miles.

The Competitor

The Competitor thrives on structure, goals, and progress. Training sessions have intention, race days are circled on the calendar, and gear matters. For this swimmer, performance, fit, and reliability aren’t luxuries, they’re expectations.

This selection is built for swimmers chasing personal bests, championship moments, and confidence behind the blocks.

Perfect for: sprinters, racers, and swimmers who love pushing limits.

The Endurance Junkie

Cold water, long distances, unpredictable conditions - the Endurance Junkie doesn’t shy away from them, they seek them out. Whether it’s open-water swimming, marathon distances, or triathlon training, this athlete needs gear that supports warmth, mobility, and durability over time.

These gifts are designed for athletes who push beyond the pool and embrace the challenge of going farther.

Perfect for: triathletes, distance swimmers, and anyone who lives for the process.

A Thoughtful Gift, No Matter the Swimmer

Every deboer product is tested, refined, athlete-driven and built to support real swimmers with real goals. By choosing gear that aligns with how someone swims, you’re not just giving a gift, you’re giving them a better experience in the water.
