5 Minutes for Mom contributor, Anna Hettick, is here to introduce you to a fabulous new brand from “Down Under” and share a giveaway. This post is sponsored, but all thoughts and opinions are those of the writer.
I have a 7 year old son. And he adores his daddy. Dressing in similar or matching clothing is something he thinks is “cool”. When I had my daughter I thought it might be fun to match or dress similar with her on occassion. Never did I think that a boy would like to do that same. Don’t ask me about my logic, it rarely makes much sense.
Both my kids LOVE to swim with their dad. My parents have a pool and we are over there as much as possible during the summer to soak up the sun and splash in the water. It’s a great family activity. Only two of us have ever been to the beach. We plan to take the whole family on a cruise within the next year and we cannot wait. When we do finally make it to the beach, I know my son would think it’s awesome if he and his dad had matching swim trunks… especially if they have sharks on them.

Emily Smith says
I remember heading to the beach with my dad when I was about 9 or 10. We stopped at a little mom and pop diner and had breakfast on our way. We spent the entire day at the beach, built a fire, roasted hot dogs and had smores. We watched the sunset and laid under the stars for a bit. It was incredible and I will never forget it.

Unfortunately I do not have any memories at the beach or pool with my dad. I was 3 when my dad died on September 13, 1964 from kidney failure and other complications from being a diabetic since his childhood. In two days it will be Fifty years.

Crystal Beach, sand surf and food

We used to spend two weeks each summer at a lake which was relaxing and wonderful. My father fished, swam and we saw a different person. I fished with him in the small motorboat, rowboat and swam since the lake was sandy and warm. Miss those days.

I only have 1 memory of my dad at the beach or pool. He was a hard working man and that is what I remember most about him but there was that once where we took a mini vacation that my mom won we had a lot of fun and I can most remember him donning Bermuda shorts
michele malone says
my dad was never much one for swimming, but he did take us to the beach once when I was little. I don’t really remember him getting in the water, but I do remember him dropping water balloons off our balcony on topless sunbathers. :l
michele malone says
I have two boys ages 6 and 8, and they would probably fight over who gets the new trunks. lol
Meagan bs says

diana.padilla says
I can only add – that a very vivid memory was that of a swim “lesson”, that began with daddy-dearest throwing me into the cold waters to see how well I could swim, before the first lesson. Yikes! !
Sarah says
My mom worked at a summer camp when we were growing up, so we were able to get into the pool for free. So, every Saturday and Sunday afternoon while she was working my dad would take us to the pool for the entire afternoon. We had such a blast.. that quality time was perfection.
Robyn says
I have a 5 year old boy (and 3 month old boy, do they have infant sizes too?) my oldest who also just adores his Dad would love this!
Christy says
Endlessly throwing us in the water!
Susan says
These are so cute! And look like such fabulous quality.
Beth Cole says
My dad would swim up to my legs and tickle them while pretending to be a shark!
Barbara Platt says
since I have none; I will tell you a memory of my husband and our granddaughter at the pool, when she was little and he he would play with her in the pool throwing her up – not far and she would laugh – and she would keep asking him to do it again until his arms hurt so bad he couldn’t.
Stacey b says
I always remember on my 11th birthday I spent the day at a water park with my Dad.
