Swimming Ear Bands

Swimming Ear Bands are the perfect way to keep moldable ear plugs in and keep water out of your ears. They can be used by both children and adults and were originally designed so kids with ear tubes could keep their ears safe and dry. Swimming ear bands come in a variety of sizes and colours. For kids, swimming ear bands work best when combined with Putty Buddies.

Which Swimming Ear Bands are right for me?

Swimming Ear Band Explainer

A swimming ear band is a soft, adjustable band — usually made from neoprene — worn around the head to help keep water out of the ears. It’s designed to hold swimming ear plugs in place and provide an extra layer of protection against splashes and submersion.
They’re especially useful for children with grommets, those recovering from ear infections, or anyone who wants extra reassurance while swimming. Comfortable and reusable, swimming ear bands make a big difference when it comes to keeping ears dry and healthy in the pool, bath, or ocean.
When should I use a swimming ear band?

Swimming ear bands are ideal for kids and adults who wear ear plugs and need to keep them securely in place — especially during active swimming or water play. They're also a great choice for people with ear tubes (grommets), a history of ear infections, or after ear surgery, when keeping water out of the ear is critical.
They're perfect for use in the pool, ocean, or even during bathtime — providing added comfort and protection so you or your child can swim with confidence.
How do I choose the right ear band?

Choosing the right swimming ear band comes down to fit, comfort, and security. Look for a band made from soft, durable neoprene with an adjustable Velcro closure to ensure a snug fit around the head without slipping.
We offer sizes for toddlers, children, and adults, as well as fun colours and patterns to help make swim time more enjoyable for little ones. Pair your ear band with a reliable set of swimming ear plugs for full protection against water and irritation.

What are swimming ear bands used for?

Swimming ear bands are worn over the ears to help keep water out and hold earplugs securely in place. They’re ideal for swimmers with ear tubes (grommets), those prone to ear infections, or anyone who needs extra protection during water play.

Can swimming ear bands be used without earplugs?

While they provide a light barrier on their own, swimming ear bands are most effective when used together with waterproof earplugs. This combination offers the best protection against water entering the ear canal.

Why is quality sleep so important?

Sleep is vital to good health throughout your lifetime. Getting the right amount of good quality sleep at the right times affects your physical and mental wellbeing, safety, and quality of life. Without it, it’s difficult to think, react, and socialise. What goes on in your body and mind when you sleep determines how you function when you’re awake.

Sleep contributes to brain function. It makes it easier for you to think and learn, solve problems, and pay attention. Failing to get enough quality sleep can lead to a sleep deficiency that has the opposite effect. Sleep deficiency changes the way your brain works, leading to problems thinking, learning, and coping with the day’s challenges. It also leads to emotional and behavioural issues. Without healthy sleep solutions, every area of your life is impacted.

Quality sleep also contributes to your physical health. During sleep, your body heals and repairs your heart and blood vessels. Getting enough good quality sleep helps prevent heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, and stroke. It reduces your risk of obesity and helps maintain a balance of the body’s hormones.

Your natural sleep cycle is an internal system that regulates when you feel sleepy or awake. One reason people are sleep-deficient or sleep-deprived is that their lifestyle habits or their jobs conflict with their sleep cycle. For others, it’s living in a noisy environment or one where the light interferes with their ability to fall and stay asleep.

How do I choose the right size ear band?

Most swimming ear bands come in child and adult sizes, with adjustable Velcro straps to ensure a secure fit. Check the product listing for sizing guidelines based on age or head circumference.
