Not only will these Silicone Swim Gloves help you to swim better, but they will also make you look as if you are a mutant with webbed fingers.

It can be a drag to get your kids to put on life jackets when they’re out swimming. Of course, they love being in the water but wearing bright orange vests, not very much. Which is why I think the Sea Squirts White Shark Life Jacket (and the clownfish or dolphin life vest) is a good [...]
