Swimming Water Bottles

Stainless steel bottles for poolside, training sets and open water. Fast enough to drink in the ten seconds you get on the wall, and it won't taste of chlorine by February.

You sweat more in the pool than you think

Surrounded by water, so hydration feels like someone else's problem. It isn't. You sweat through a hard set the same as any other session, you just can't see it, and you finish a session down more than you'd guess.

Which is why the bottle at the end of your lane matters. Most swimmers under drink simply because grabbing a mouthful in a short rest is more hassle than it's worth.

Ten seconds on the wall is enough

You get a short rest and you're wearing goggles, half a cap and a pair of numb hands.

Our nozzle flows on gravity rather than squeeze. Developed with an ex-NASA engineer, it moves 621ml in 8.5 seconds from the moment you tilt. Pop it with your teeth, tilt, drink, back on the wall before the top.

No squeezing with wet hands, no sucking at a narrow spout, no unscrewing a lid you'll then drop in the pool.

Chlorine, humidity and what they do to plastic

A poolside bottle lives in warm, damp, chlorinated air, then goes into a wet kit bag with a soaked towel. It's about the worst environment you could design for plastic.

Plastic bottles go cloudy, hold the smell and grow things in the valve within a season. Bivo bottles are stainless steel with food grade silicone components and every part comes off, nozzle included, so you can actually clean out what the pool has put in. BPA, BPS, BPF and phthalate free, and 100% lead free.

Grip when your hands are soaked

Wet hands and a smooth plastic bottle is how bottles end up in the pool.

The coloured bottles have a silicone anti-slip exterior that grips when you're dripping, and it stops the bottle skidding off a wet tiled edge. Steel also means it survives the drop onto poolside tiles that would split a plastic one.

Open water and triathlon

Different demands entirely. Open water swimmers need something that survives a car boot, a shingle beach and a wetsuit bag, and that's still cold when you get out.

If you're training across all three disciplines, the same bottle goes from the pool to the bike to the run. The Trio Mini fits a bottle cage and a running handheld as easily as it sits on a poolside.

Swimming water bottle FAQs

Do you actually need a water bottle for swimming?

Yes. You sweat through hard sets the same as any other training, you just don't notice it in the water. Most swimmers finish a session more dehydrated than they realise.

What's the best bottle for poolside?

An insulated one that opens fast and grips when wet. The Trio at 621ml covers most sessions and stays cold in a warm pool hall.

Will it survive being dropped on poolside tiles?

Steel takes drops that crack plastic. It may mark the finish, and the silicone exterior on the coloured bottles absorbs a good deal of the impact.

Does chlorine damage stainless steel bottles?

No. Steel doesn't absorb chlorine smell or go cloudy the way plastic does, and every part separates so you can clean it fully.

How much should I drink during a swim session?

It varies with intensity and pool temperature, but most swimmers need considerably more than they take. Having a bottle you'll actually reach for on the wall is most of the battle.

Can you open it with wet hands or in goggles?

Yes. Pop the nozzle with your teeth and tilt. There's no lid to unscrew and no squeeze to coordinate.
