About gym bags
Gym bags carry training kit, shoes, towels and bottles, ideally keeping wet and dirty items separate. Gyms use branded gym bags for memberships and merchandise, and fitness brands sell them under private label.
For membership kits, one colourway with embroidery keeps costs controlled and the look consistent.
About swimming bags
Swimming bags separate wet costumes and towels from dry clothes. Mesh panels let damp kit breathe, and waterproof linings stop water reaching the rest of the bag. Swim clubs and schools order them in club colours.
Swim clubs and schools usually order before summer coaching camps.
