NZ-MADE SWIM BAGS
Leaky swimming bags are no longer an issue thanks to Mud Mates’ drawstring Swim Bags! These roomy and multifunctional drawstring bags are perfect for swimming, using as a sports or activity bag, keeping books clean as a library bag, holding a change of clothes or even for use as overnight bag. But most of all, this top quality waterproof bag is also ideal for storing those messy Mud Mates for their trip home from the park, beach, farm day-care or kindy.
If you are looking for a practical and fun idea for a birthday or Christmas present, then these multipurpose kids bags are simply perfect too.
Made from our 100% polyester, PVC-free, waterproof fabric, our Swim Bags have been cleverly designed and sewn to keep moisture in the bag itself. The result? No longer will wet towels drip over school books or dirty shoes get mud everywhere! They really are the ideal spare bag to keep in your child’s schoolbag.
Like all Mud Mates products, our drawstring bags are beautifully handcrafted in New Zealand. They are available in a great range of bright colours to make them stand out from the crowd! The drawstring fastening is simple for children to use and the bag has plenty of room for your child’s togs and towel as well as goggles, swim cap and drink bottle too.
Our Swim Bags are a great eco-friendly alternative to using plastic bags which often get holes and rip apart. Being able to reuse your swimming bag each season not only helps save the environment, but saves you money too!
Team them with our bright, fun kids goggles and swim caps and your child will be ready to hit the pools or beach in style!
Sizing
We offer 2 great sizes to choose from:
Standard size (33cm x 42cm) is ideal for babies, toddlers and young children and has plenty of room for a child’s towel, togs, swim gear, drink bottle and change of clothes.
Our large swim bag (37cm x 47cm) is perfect for older children (and adults) with room for a full sized large adults towel plus all the extra swim gear you need.
Personalised or Plain Swim Bags
Does your child often lose their togs? Our Swim Bags are easily personalised with your child’s name, helping them to find it and others to give it back to them!  Teachers also love kids being able to identify their belongings quickly, as well as prevent clothing being put into the wrong bag by mistake.

I highly recommend this swim bag for any parent whose child loses their belongings that aren’t clearly named.
I love the size and the quality of the material. I love the fact that my sons name is so big and bold so is not easily lost. He loves it as do I. It also saves all those wasted plastic bags he used to use.

Annette (verified owner) –
I would highly recommend Mud Mates for their quick service. I was thrilled to receive the Swim Bag with my Grandson name on it. He is starting school this year and it was a way of knowing his bag with his name in large letters. We are hoping to get another swim bag for his brother
Jo (verified owner) –
Great quality and size. Easy for kids to open and close the drawstring.
Melissa Edge (verified owner) –
Absolutely awesome swim bags! Perfect size for togs, goggles, towel and any other bits and pieces needed. Very good quality fabric and extremely well made. My kids were over the moon to see they had their names personalised on them and I don’t have to worry about them losing them or going home with another child because of this fact. Highly recommend these and wish I’d known about them a long time ago!

I cannot rave enough about the swim bag I have for my daughter!
Absolutely perfect, great size to fit in all my daughters stuff, including two large towels, shampoo/conditioner, googles, hair brush, the list goes on, and love how you can have names personalised on them, finding this a god send for when my daughter goes for swimming with her class, no lost swimming bags anymore for her and she has been the envy of her friends because of her cool swim bag 🙂

The Swim Bags are awesome. I use them all the time. I love the size and the material. Great colours and love how you can put names on them. They are just right.
