SwimPath has long specialised in performance pool swimwear and race suits. For over 10 years SwimPath has been one of the biggest and most trusted swimwear and merchandise suppliers in the UK. In 2026 we continued our work with our Swimshops, team kit and event merchandise, but we also saw increased interest in Open Water swimming. With this new interest in open water swimming, SwimPath is expanding to accommodate this new and growing market.

At SwimPath we have expanded our range of wetsuits, open water goggles and other accessories to cover all bases and requirements for open water swimming. We have new flexible and visible wetsuits designed to keep you warm, comfortable and safe whilst allowing swimmers the feel and freedom of movement to perform at a high level. We have new goggles designed for comfort and improved visibility. We also have a selection of other accessories to help keep swimmers warm during the colder months.

This year also saw SwimPath attend our first Open Water competition with our famous pop-up Swim shop. We attended the 2026 Southeast Open Water Regional Championships held at Mercer’s Lake in Redhill, Kent in June. There were over 450 swimmers in attendance from all across the Southeast region. It was a great event with a real festival atmosphere. We were also pleased to supply the event merchandise. Our hoodies, T-shirts and caps proved popular with both pre-orders and on the day sales with a steady queue at our gazebo setup. We look forward to attending again next year and potentially other similar events in the future.

We have also seen an increase in team kit inquiries from open water and triathlon clubs including some universities. SwimPath is always pleased to help out clubs with their team kit. As former swimmers ourselves we know and appreciate the importance of high quality yet affordable team kit. High-quality kit allows swimmers to wear their club logos and colours with pride and to feel part of a team. If you are a club looking to update or improve your kit please check out our website or reach out to us by email or phone. We would be delighted to help out.
