ESPN keeps kids competing in the summer

ESPN Swimming Challenge for poolside competition

Whether it’s at the local public pool or out in the back yard, Summertime usually means pool time for a lot of kids. But it’s only so much fun jumping around diving off the board or water slide. What kids really need to beat the heat and have fun at the pool is a little competition. That’s where the Swimways ESPN Swimming Challenge comes in.

With a pair of mountable touch pads, the Swimming Challenge works as a waterproof timer to time pool laps. That means that kids can hold their own mini swim meet and race each other. They can see their times improve over the summer and the cool LED displays show current lap times, winning times and number of laps for those interested in using it to keep track of exercising.

And not that the kids will hear it under the water, but it even comes with optional ESPN cheering sounds to motivate the kids to swim faster. Ages 8 and up. Cost is about $45.
