The range includes bathers, kickboards, swim caps, water wings, dive toys and our faves these hilarious superhero hologram goggles. The range is suitable for your young superheros aged 1-12 years.

Warner Bros. x Zoggs Waterwings Swim Vest: Up, up and away with these gorgeous superhero-themed swim vests. Have peace of mind knowing that your child has the buoyancy assistance they need in the water, without the movement restrictions that you find with some other swim aides. Available at most major retailers.

Wahu Skim’n Hoop, RRP $79.99: If you fancy a break from the shouts of “Mum, watch me!” as you enjoy pool time with the family, Wahu has you sorted with a range of fun pool games to keep your family occupied while you’re cooling down. As a bonus this large, multi-functional inflatable (measuring approx. 150cm x 145cm x 86cm when inflated), can be used both in and out of the pool for unlimited rounds of pool basketball challenges, water polo, pool football/soccer or skim ball challenges.

Wahu Memory Dive, RRP $19.99: A fun and creative way to work your kids’ brains and improve their swimming skills at the same time. How it works is the kids take turns placing the balls (each numbered with a score) inside the memory sticks before throwing them into the pool. Once they have sunk, players dive down and retrieve each stick then try to remember which ball went into each stick! The person who remembers the most wins, and the game begins again. For Ages 6+ and available at most major retailers.

Beach Umbrella: When it comes to spending a day under the Aussie sun, you’re going to want some shade. Whether in a yard, a picnic or a day at the beach, a beach umbrella offers a quick, convenient and portable shade solution for your family. We’re loving the range of sweet, vintage looking umbrellas on offer at Basil Bangs. The designs are divine and the quality means they’re not about to turn inside out at the first hint of a breeze!

Beach wagon: The trend for collapsible, portable wagons on the Aussie market has been heaven sent for families. Whether you want to lug the kids or all of the gear that they come with, having four wheels that allow you to drag over sand, rocks, through music festivals and more make them a perfect transport solution for parents with their hands full. However not all wagons are created equal! Aussie brand Buddy Wagon are known for their durability and quality which means they won’t be letting you down mid-journey.

Picnic rug: Every car boot needs a good picnic rug. Perfect for keeping sand, dirt and biting bugs off the rumps of your loved ones, they’re an essential item for the Aussie summer. We can’t get enough of the Ken Done partnership with Basil Bangs, this classically colourful Done creation ‘Love Rug’ is made for pooches and babes of all ages. The indoor-outdoor mat is spill proof, padded and compact so you can take it anywhere and use it everywhere.

Full face snorkel mask: With life as colourful under the water as it is above, Australia has some pretty spectacular snorkelling for families to explore. A full face snorkel mask helps families overcome a number of issues caused by the traditional two piece mask and snorkel setups. Genius, right? No more uncomfortable breathing, choking on water or impaired vision from a foggy mask. We’re loving the colourful options available at Camgo.

Beach tote: Towels, goggles, snacks, toys, hats, discarded shoes … a day out in the Aussie sun means mum and dad have A LOT of stuff to lug. A regular tote isn’t going to cut it. You need something, big, sturdy and waterproof. The Basil Bangs Daily Tote measures 42cm H x 23.5cm w x 48cm L with a 30cm shoulder drop making it the perfect size for all of your family’s cra… ‘stuff’!
