What a pre-swim spray is, when to use it and how to fit it around swimming lessons.

If your child swims regularly, you will know how easily the smell of the pool can follow them home. Hair, skin, towels and swim bags can all seem to hold onto that familiar chlorine smell long after a lesson has finished.

A pre-swim chlorine spray is designed to be applied before getting into the pool, as part of a simple swimming routine for skin and hair.

What is a pre-swim spray?

A pre-swim spray is used before swimming rather than afterwards. SwimFresh is a vitamin C-based spray made for children’s skin and hair and is designed to be applied around 15 minutes before swimming.

The idea is simple: make it part of the getting-ready routine, just like putting on a swimming costume, packing goggles and grabbing a towel.

When should you apply SwimFresh?

We recommend applying SwimFresh around 15 minutes before swimming. Spray it over the areas you want to cover, including exposed skin and hair, then allow it to sit while you finish getting ready for the pool.

Why use it before swimming?

Most swimming routines focus on what happens after the pool: showering, washing hair and changing clothes. SwimFresh adds a simple step before swimming instead.

That makes it especially useful for busy families who want a straightforward routine that starts before a lesson rather than adding another product afterwards.

Can adults use it too?

SwimFresh was created with children and family swimming in mind, but adults can use the spray too. The 250ml bottle is designed to be easy to keep in a swim bag and use before getting into the pool.

How much does it cost?

SwimFresh 250ml is £10 per bottle, or you can buy 3 for £25.
