Have you ever tried changing in the cold on a beach or in a car park after a swim? Then you know how much of a difference a bathing poncho can make. It’s a changing room you can take anywhere, drying you and keeping you warm while you change into dry clothes. We use ponchos ourselves after winter swimming, sea swimming and trips to the swimming pool, and we know what a difference they make. Right now, we’re celebrating Black Month with up to 75% off selected items, making this the perfect time to get a new poncho. Explore our range of bathing ponchos and find a poncho for both adults and children.

How to choose the right bathing poncho

A bathing poncho needs to do two things: dry you quickly and give you room to change. When we recommend ponchos, we always look at these four things, and it’s worth checking them before you snap up one of our Black Month deals:

• Material: A microfibre poncho is lightweight, doesn’t take up much space in your bag and dries quickly. A cotton poncho is thicker and feels softer against your skin, while a waterproof surf poncho protects you from wind and rain.
• Size: The poncho should be roomy enough for you to pull your arms inside and change underneath it. It should also be long enough to cover you.
• Hood: A hood helps keep you warm and dries your hair, especially when it’s windy.
• For children or adults: We have ponchos in sizes for children, juniors and adults. Our children’s ponchos are shorter and easier to put on independently, so children can quickly get sheltered after swimming.

Get ready for winter swimming during Black Week

In the week leading up to Black Friday, we celebrate Black Week—perfect timing, as many people start winter swimming around then. When the water gets cold, it’s important to get into dry clothes quickly, and that’s where a bathing poncho makes a big difference. If you need extra warmth, you can also browse our range of ponchos for winter swimming. During Black Week, you can find everything at the lowest prices of the year, so you’ll be ready for the entire winter season.

Buy ponchos for the whole family on Black Friday

Black Friday takes place on the last Friday in November and is the highlight of our entire sale period. You’ll find, among other things, Watery microfibre bathing ponchos for both adults and children, so the whole family can change in comfort after a swim. A bathing poncho also makes a perfect Christmas gift for anyone who loves swimming, whatever the season. With up to 75% off selected items, it’s a great time to buy a poncho for everyone in the family.

Get the best price with our Black Month Guarantee

You don’t have to wait until the end of November to make sure you get the best price. With our Black Month Guarantee, we’ll refund the difference as a Watery gift card if we lower the price of your bathing poncho before Black Month ends. This means you can order your poncho now and start using it for your winter swims without missing out on a better deal. We also offer price matching, so if you find the same poncho for less elsewhere, we’ll match the price.

Last chance to get a bathing poncho on Cyber Monday

On the Monday after Black Friday, we wrap up our sale period with Cyber Monday. It’s your last chance to buy a bathing poncho at the lowest prices of the year before prices return to normal. If you didn’t get a chance to decide over the weekend, or you still need a poncho for the children, now’s the time to snap one up. We offer fast delivery, so your new poncho will be ready for your next swim.
