[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just dash to the car.  No need for a swim park to walk from a building to a car. [/quote]

A swim parka’s main function is to keep a swimmer warm on the deck between races. Not as a coat to wear to the car. My kids take their parkas to every meet, indoor or outdoor and often wear them all the way to the block to keep their muscles as warm as possible. [/quote]
Crazy how a garment that will keep you warm inside will also keep you warm outside.  What a fortuitous unintended consequence! [/quote]

Thanks for stating the obvious. Posters are telling OP her son doesn’t need a parka to go to the car from the pool. That is true. He doesn’t. My point is that there is another reason to get a parka besides dashing to the car. A swim parka is designed to keep muscles warm on the deck. Many parents new to swim don’t realize that swimmers need to stay warm on the deck to swim their best. Even if you live in a hot climate, it’s something to consider as part of your kid’s swim kit.
