The kids’ changing robe that keeps them cosy after swimming is now £23.80 in the Regatta sale

If you have a child who loves swimming, trips to the beach or days spent in the water, you'll know that getting out can sometimes be the least enjoyable part. A cold towel and wet clothes aren't exactly appealing after a swim, which is where a cosy changing robe can really come into its own.

Now, the Regatta Junior Waterproof Changing Robe has been reduced from £70 to prices starting at £28, but there's an extra saving available that makes the deal even more tempting. Use code SUMMER15 at checkout for an additional 15% off will bring selected £28 designs down to just £23.80, for example.

Available for ages 3 to 13, there are plenty of colours and patterns to choose from, so it will be easy to find something that suits their personality. Options include dark khaki horses (pictured), blue floral pink lemonade, black camo persimmon, dark khaki cats and dogs and pink potion shell pink.

Prices vary depending on the print chosen, so you'll need to select one of the £28 options to get the lowest possible price of £23.80 with the code.

Designed specifically for keeping children warm after getting out of the water, the robe combines a waterproof outer with a soft borg fleece lining. The idea is simple: help keep the wind and water out while providing a cosy layer that children can wrap themselves up in after swimming, surfing or a day at the seaside.

The outer uses Hydrafort waterproof fabric, which is also designed to provide windproof protection and durable water beading. Taped seams provide complete waterproof protection, while the durable water-repellent finish offers another layer of defence against the elements.

Inside, there's a borg fleece lining designed to lock in warmth. The 200gsm borg fabric is made from a polyester and recycled polyester blend, giving the robe that soft, fluffy feel that makes it particularly appealing after a dip in the pool or sea.

It's also packed with practical details that make it more useful for children. There's a grown-on hood for extra coverage, two lower pockets for keeping hands warm or storing small essentials, and an inner security pocket.

The two-way centre-front zip is another useful feature, particularly when children are changing underneath the robe. Adjustable cuffs can also help create a more comfortable fit and keep chilly air from getting in around the wrists.

And unlike some purely practical outdoor gear, the changing robe comes in a selection of bold prints and bright colours. From horses and cats and dogs to floral and camo designs, there's plenty of scope to find a style they'll actually want to wear.

The age range of 3 to 13 also makes it a useful option for different stages of childhood, whether it's being kept in the swimming bag for weekly lessons or taken along on family beach days and holidays.

For parents, the appeal is arguably just as much about convenience as warmth. Instead of trying to get cold, wet children changed immediately after swimming, a changing robe gives them a cosy layer to put on while they dry off and get ready.

That makes it a particularly useful buy ahead of future swimming trips, beach days and outdoor adventures. And with different prints available, it can be both a practical piece of kit and something children will be happy to pull on.

If you're looking for a way to make the transition from water to dry land a little warmer and easier, this could be one of those additions to their outdoor kit that quickly becomes indispensable.
