5 year old granddaughter has just started swimming lessons and was absolutely freezing when she got out of the water, even though I did wrap her in a towel straight away. Any suggestions on how to keep her warmer and for something to dry her with that doesn't get too heavy when wet and dries quickly afterwards? Want to buy her something she will use just for swimming and which will stay at my house along with her big brothers' football/rugby gear.

You can get children’s dry robes ( not necessarily that brand - cheaper ones like Regatta are available) my GC have them and they are great- like a big warm coat - they were very useful on the beach too. A cheaper option could be a fluffy onesie that a lot of kids at the swimming class seem to pop on after their shower.

My grandchildren who are "big swimmers" have the Dryrobe sort.
(May be a different brand?)

Our GC have dry robes for the winter, and towelling hooded ponchos for the warmer weather, both do the job.

Onesies can be difficult to put on damp skin.
