A waterproof, fleece-lined changing robe they can get changed under on the shore and stay warm in afterwards. It's the gift most wild swimmers want.
Neoprene gloves that keep hands warmer in cold water, so they can swim for longer in winter. Check their hand size first.
Thick 3.5mm neoprene socks for cold feet and rocky entries. They pair well with the gloves.
A bright tow float that makes them visible to boats and other people, and doubles as a dry bag for keys and a phone. It's an important safety item.
