Swimming has never been easier! These aren't ordinary hooded towels. Sunreal Days kids swim robes zip up, so they actually get kids dry and covered up, but free to move!
Designed to skip the battle in the pool change rooms after swimming lessons, they let kids hop out of the pool, zip up and head straight home. No more slippery wet tiles, no more juggling towels, bags and clothes.
Made from 100% cotton towelling, they work as a swim robe, pool robe or beach cover-up. From winter swimming lessons to breezy beach days and camping trips, they keep kids warm, dry and comfortable the moment they hop out of the water.
Every print is designed exclusively by Sunreal Days.

What are the Towel Hoodies made from?
Our hoodies are made from 380gsm 100% terry towel cotton, with a plush velour finish on the outside. There's no second layer or waterproof fabric, so they can be worn all year round, even in warmer weather. The cotton is soft on the skin and absorbs water beautifully.
We use a high-grade zip that won't jam in the fabric and is easy for little fingers to use.
What are they used for?
Our towel hoodies are designed for all types of people, from toddlers to the elderly.
Children use them for swimming lessons, pool play & beach trips.
Teens & Adults use them for squad training, aqua aerobics, pool laps, surfing and ocean dips. They are great for camping and holidays too!
They're warm and absorbent, making it the perfect coverup for all water adventures.
Do they have a waterproof lining? Will they keep my car seat dry?
Our towel hoodies don't have a waterproof layer. They're made from 100% cotton terry, which is what makes them so absorbent and comfortable to wear all year round. The thick 380gsm cotton soaks up water from your body, so if you've dried off a little after your swim, it will generally keep your car seat dry. If you're still dripping wet, we recommend popping a towel on the seat as well.
Can kids wear them as a swim robe after swimming lessons?
Absolutely, that's exactly what they're made for! Our kids zip up towel hoodies work as a swim robe straight out of the pool. Kids can pop the hood up, zip up and stay warm while they dry off, so there's no need to battle the change rooms after swimming lessons. Made from 100% cotton towelling, they're just as handy for winter swimming, beach days and camping trips.
Are your Towel Hoodies suitable for travelling?
Yes! Sunreal Days towel hoodies are easy to pack! It's a towel and cover-up in one.
Customers have found them useful on family holidays, including cruise ships, caravanning, camping and resort style holidays.
Do the Towel Hoodies offer sun protection?
Absolutely! They are tested to Australian standards with a result of UPF 50+.
Unlike regular hooded towels or ponchos, our robes have long sleeves and cover most of the body protecting your skin from the sun.
The thick, plush cotton also acts as the perfect insulation when the wind picks up.
What's the difference between a towel hoodie, a swim robe and a poncho?
A poncho slips over the head and can leave arms tangled inside. Sunreal Days towel hoodies have a zip, a hood and long sleeves, so kids can dry off and stay covered while moving freely. It's a towel, swim robe and cover-up in one.
How do I wash my towel hoodie?
Machine wash cold with similar colours, and skip the bleach, soaking and fabric softener. Line dry inside out to protect the colours, or tumble dry on low if needed. Give it a good shake after washing to fluff up the terry loops. There's no need to wash after every swim; just hang it up to dry. You can use the dryer on a low setting if needed.
