These SwimCell Beach Socks are probably our all round, favourite new product.
They are so versatile that you can wear these lightweight neoprene socks to protect your feet inside or outside on your adventures.
With a full length 3mm rubber sole they are the perfect beach socks for sand, rocks, coral, swimming, snorkelling and watersports. We've thoroughly tested them on the corally beaches of Gili Trawangan and everyone we meet who tries them on wants a pair. They are just like a low cut ankle sock and are really easy to put on with the elasticated opening.
Let's quote one of the local kite boarders "These are the best booties I've ever worn". If he thinks so, who are we to argue! He explained how he loved that they are tight around the ankle so the sand can't get in and rub between your toes. (Yes, these were the pre-production socks in a fancy tiger pattern)
These are great non slip socks for kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, canoeing, kite surfing and other water sports giving you extra grip on your board, keeping the sand out of your toes.
These are much more lightweight than a traditional beach shoe. They can easily roll up or fold up into your pocket or bag or can be stored in the storage bag that they come in. Weighing between 60g and 80g you wont even notice you're carrying them unlike a clumpy water beach shoe.
They are great swimming socks and are non slip around the outside of a swimming pool (although for some reason not on the bottom of the pool).
Don't walk home barefoot from the night club again, these are the perfect roll up shoe that fits in your handbag (or other hiding places) that you can wear on your walk home after you've danced the night away in heels.
These fold up socks feel like you're walking barefoot, just with more confidence. It's not quite a barefoot shoe, which have more restriction. These beach socks allow your feet to move naturally whilst protecting your skin from sand, rocks and heat or cold.
These beach socks for swimming are for men and women with unisex sizing. You just need to check out our size chart to find which size you need. If you're stuck in between sizes we suggest you choose the smaller option as the sock gets slightly bigger in water.
They are so comfortable that you probably wont want to take them off and will find all kinds of excuses to wear them.
How about for travelling? Imagine when you're on the airplane and you don't want to put your swollen feet back into shoes, you can just slip these on for your trip to the toilet. It will save your socks absorbing the various liquids on the bathroom floor! They'll also keep your feet nice and warm.
Each pair comes with an information card and a ziplock storage bag to keep your SwimCell Beach Socks in.
Most people buy these with our 20L Dry bag back pack and a SwimCell Waterproof phone case.
Who wants to know what all the fuss has been about this week? It turns out our 20L waterproof dry bag backpack has been quite a hit.
It's the perfect dry bag for a one day beach or water activity adventure, big enough to fit a towel, change of clothes, sun cream etc
It doesn't just keep your dry things dry, you can also use it to store wet things in, like wet rain gear or a wet suit.
Unlike most 20L roll down dry bags this has 2 adjustable and detachable straps so you have the choice to wear the bag with one or 2 straps or carry it in your hand.
It's really easy to use by squeezing out the air, rolling it down and clipping together. Each waterproof dry bag backpack comes with full instructions.
We know there are a lot of dry bags out there to choose from so we tried to make ours a bit different. We added a large, bright orange pocket inside for storing your keys, money and phone making them easily accessible but keeping them fully protected when the bag is done up.
We also kept our logo small, in our opinion there are way too many bags with big ugly writing on them, let's keep it classy where we can.
Most people who bought these bags last week purchased them with a classic SwimCell Waterproof Phone Case and several pairs of our brand new Beach Socks. More about those in our next blog post. Happy Summer Holidays.
Our latest waterproof case to hit the shelves is every cyclists dream! A 100% waterproof phone case with a handlebar mount for your bicycle!
Now you can keep your phone in front of you safely attached to the handlebar making it really easy to follow your GPS or track your ride whilst you cycle. What's more is your phone will be 100% protected from the elements giving you peace of mind.
Yes, you can still use the phone from inside the case, make phone calls, take photos and listen to music. As it’s a bit controversial, we left out the headphone jack, but you can still use wireless headphones if you want to listen to music whilst you cycle.
The SwimCell Waterproof Case for bicycles is 100% waterproof meaning no rain can get inside this case whilst you cycle to work or ride through the countryside. You might even choose to mount it onto a rowing paddle whilst you're on the water.
The case fits all phones up to the large iPhone Plus and X models and Samsung Plus models. The usable space measures 10cm (4inch) wide and 17cm (6.75 inch)long so as long as your phone is smaller than these measurements it will fit. There is a large window on the front to view your screen and a small one on the back for your phones camera. 
The case slides on and off the clamp using a little bit of force and rotates 360 degrees so you can choose which angle you’d like your phone to be at. The rotating wheel then tightens the case into position and you’re good to head on your way.
The waterproof bike case is really easy to install and we’ve included a small inner rubber section which can be used on smaller handlebars or paddles.
To use, simply attach the clamp onto the handle bar and tighten with the screw. Use the inner rubber inserts if need.
You can leave this mount on your bike the whole time, unless you’re worried someone will steal it. If you’re confident it’s in the right place you could always glue it on for extra security.
Put your phone into the case before or after attaching it onto the bike. Simply use the 2 twist lock wheels to open and close the case.
Clip the phone case clip on and off as needed.
We’ve included an adjustable neck lanyard inside the package so that you can use your phone around your chest or neck. Take it on holiday with you or for a swim in the lake. See how cool Pedro looks below!
There’s a small window on the back side in case you want to take photos. There's no need to take your phone out the case, just make sure you put your phone in camera first. Our favourite use of this window is to use the phones torch as a road light.
There is one more option with the case and that’s putting it onto a belt and wearing it around your waist. Although it won't be so easy to take a phone call if it's attached through the belt unless you have wireless headphones.
This really is a versatile bit of kit and for £19.99 it’s great value for money.
Don’t forget to tag us in your photos when you’re out and about on your adventures using SwimCell gear.

We've been working on these little beauties for a while and now we're ready to introduce you to our HydraMate Water Filter Straws.
They're the perfect companion for our HydraMate Foldable Water Bottle and your outdoor adventures. Not only that, but many people are creating emergency preparedness and survival kits in case of disaster and these straws can be an essential piece of gear helping you make clean drinking water in the event you don't have any.
If you're looking for the best solution for filtering water when you're out hiking and camping in the backcountry or looking for items that you need in your emergency preparedness kit then keep reading.
The filter straw is available in 2 sizes, Standard and Mini. They allow you to filter 1500/1200 Litres (approx 356 gal) of water easily and quickly removing 99.9999% of bacteria including E. coli and Salmonella and 99.9% of protozoan cysts including Giardia and Cryptosporidium.
The standard straw will also remove some heavy metals and bad tastes including Arsenic, Cadmium, Copper, Iron, Lead, Aluminium and Mercury as it has the addition of Activated Coconut Carbon and Silver ions.
The standard straw has 3 layers of filtration, and 2 layers for the mini straw.
1) Pre-Filter to remove larger particles of dirt.
2) Coconut Carbon Filter with Silver ions. (Standard straw only).
3) Medical grade ultra filtration membrane which removes bacteria and protozoa.
Both straws are lightweight weighing only 60g/40g (2oz). The mini straw measures just 11.5cm, fitting into the palm of your hand, it skips out on the carbon element but it is a perfectly suitable filter for fresh water situations or even everyday use on your water bottle if your drinking water tastes too much like Chlorine.
The straws attach to any standard 28mm bottle and we're including a HydraMate Foldable Bottle worth £7.99 in each straw kit. 
We've added a few extra, useful tools, like a compass and mirror, this doubles up as a hygienic cap for the bottom of the personal water filter straw.
The wide strap neck lanyard has a quick release clip to make it easy to clip the straw on and off your backpack or from around your neck. Equally, it's long enough to have around your neck and drink the water.
The water filter kit contains everything you need including full instructions and a resealable bag to keep everything in.
You can use the straw in a variety of ways.
1) Drink directly from the water source with or without the extension straw.
2) Attach the straw to the bottle and drink directly.
3) Squeeze the water through the bottle into another container.
4) Attach to the end of a water bladder straw.
To see the straw in action check out this 60 second video. And yes, Amy consumed a lot of very dirty lake water in the making and didn't get sick at all!
After Use
Simply blow back into the straw to remove any remaining water. You can also flick the water out of the straw. No syringe needed.
Top Tips
To prolong the life of your straw we recommend always drinking from the cleanest water you can find and if the water is muddy, let it settle and drink from the clearer water at the top.
If the water you are drinking is at risk of viruses please use a water purifying tablet in conjunctions with the straw.

Our waterproof phone cases come in 2 sizes, standard and large, fitting all phones from the small iphone 5 to the great big iphone 6 and 7 plus. They are also the perfect size for keeping money, keys and jewellery in too. They come in 5 fab colours, black, white, pink, blue and neon yellow.
If you'd like something a bit smaller, say for just 1 key, we launched our SwimCell Armband Key Case earlier this year. With an adjustable strap it's perfect for running or tucking into your wetsuit whilst you dive or surf.
The phone cases have been tested to 10m underwater, although we know naughty people like to take them deeper than that. Our larger cases can handle more pressure down to 20m.
We have 2 larger sizes for ipads and kindle to make sure that you can fully protect all your tech gear from water, sand, dirt and dust. Best of all, you can still use your device through the case, taking photos or making calls for your pleasure and safety.

We recently joined forces with an awesome instagram account called @belowthebubbles offering a SwimCell giveaway when they reached 500 followers (hit up their account now if you want the chance to win their 1000 followers prize).
Below The Bubbles features underwater photos of real life mermaids - aka girls who take selfies underwater. With a mixture of professional and armature photos everyone is welcome to submit their photo to be featured.
We thought this would be a perfect match for SwimCell seeing as there are so many people who have phones, if they could make them waterproof they'd be able to take awesome photos in the ocean or pool.
Lucky winner Tara @seaside_addict chose the large blue SwimCell waterproof case for her Samsung Note 4.
It wasn't long before she took her phone under water and sent us the following AMAZING photos. All taken on her phone inside her SwimCell.
Seaside_addict messaged us again today saying "Going out tomorrow again for mothers day and my SwimCell is my new favorite beach bag staple. I think I use it more than my go pro now haha. I get so many great shots I don't even have time to edit and post them all. You really do have an amazing product!"
She also told us that her friend borrowed her waterproof case for a shark dive! We can't wait to see those pics.
If you want a chance to win a SwimCell check out our @SwimCell instagram page or you can simply buy one from our online shop. We have a size to fit all phones and tablets.
Summer is coming and we've just stocked up on our HydraMate Foldable Bottle. Our new packaging has a more eco friendly look to match the philosophy of our bottle which is all about reducing one time use plastic bottles.
If you're out and about on adventures then you need to take water with you for important hydration.
That's not the only change we've made. We've also added a loop to attach the hygiene cap as we heard that a few people have lost the caps.
With a capacity of 750ml (22oz) this soft, collapsible bottle can provide you with water for an afternoon and even hold a full bottle of wine. That makes it perfect for taking to the beach or park for a Summer picnic.
We've heard some people use these bottles to take alcohol on cruises so buying a couple at a time is a great idea.
Check out this great review from Clearwater Snorkeling who also has loads of reviews for other useful holiday items.
