At Piscines Privées, we think about a pool through the moments people enjoy in it. To extend this world, we introduce La Frite Suisse®, a brand specialising in personalised pool accessories. Its idea is to give an identity to something you enjoy using and recognise beside the water.
Two accessories for different purposes
The pool noodle is a versatile accessory. Flexible and easy to hold, it accompanies water games, some aquagym exercises and supervised activities introducing people to the water. Its usefulness depends on the size chosen and the intended use: the handling a child needs differs from the comfort an adult expects.
A swimming kickboard is particularly useful for working on leg movements. Held in front of you, it provides support so you can focus on kicking or propulsion movements, following the instructor’s guidance. Its shape, grip and size should suit the swimmer and the exercise.
The two accessories can therefore complement each other, from the family pool to swimming lessons. Start with a practical question when choosing: will this accessory mainly be used for playing, a supervised activity or training?
Personalisation changes your attachment to an object
A noodle bearing a name is immediately recognisable among the family’s accessories. In a group, it also makes it easier to find your own equipment when leaving the pool. For a child, choosing a colour and discovering their engraved name gives the accessory a personal dimension.
La Frite Suisse combines high-density closed-cell foam with individual laser engraving carried out in Switzerland. This combination of material choice and personalisation gives its range its distinctive character. The personalised noodle configurator lets you choose a size, colour, name and lettering style from the options offered.
You can explore the available choices and prepare your personalisation directly on the product page:
Projects featuring a logo, drawing or particular message can also be arranged on request. This approach offers plenty of creative freedom: your wishes provide the starting point, then a discussion with the team helps adapt the project to the model and confirm that it can be made.
A gift idea for pool enthusiasts
A birthday, an invitation to friends who have a pool, an upcoming holiday or a surprise for someone who loves swimming: there are many occasions to give a personalised accessory. The chosen name or message creates a connection with its recipient.
For a family, you might choose a colour for each person and matching names. For a child taking their first lessons, the accessory can become a reminder of that time. For an adult who enjoys water activities, the choice may focus on a size suited to their use and understated personalisation.
The care taken in choosing matters as much as the engraved text. Before ordering a gift, check the model’s dimensions, the options available and the exact spelling of the name or message.
Ideas for clubs, swimming schools and other venues
Personalisation can also interest organisations that welcome swimmers. Identified accessories can help organise equipment for a class or club. They can also serve as an end-of-season gift or accompany a pool event.
Possible projects include noodles bearing the names of course participants, a set in a club’s colours or kickboards carrying a swimming school’s identity. A hotel or other venue with a pool might also want accessories that fit its visual identity.
For this type of request, prepare the useful details: intended use, desired quantity, proposed model, text or logo, and the date the equipment is needed. The team can then confirm personalisation possibilities, availability and lead times for the project.
Personalised swimming kickboards will be available soon. To find out about upcoming models or prepare a specific request, contact the team:
A noodle designed and engraved in Switzerland, made in France
La Frite Suisse states that it designs and engraves its noodles in Switzerland, with manufacturing carried out in France. Individual personalisation is central to this approach: the choice of model and engraving helps prepare an accessory for a particular person or project.
The brand uses high-density closed-cell polyethylene foam with added EVA. When comparing models, take time to read their specifications and instructions for use. The different sizes suit different purposes; the most appropriate size is the one that suits the person who will use it.
Choosing and caring for your accessory
Before choosing, check a few points:
- Intended use: family games, a supervised activity, aquagym or swimming exercises.
- Dimensions and grip: length and diameter for a noodle; size and any handles for a kickboard.
- Personalisation options: a name, lettering style or particular project to discuss.
- Care instructions and warranty terms for the chosen model.
After swimming, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning, drying and storage. Avoid excessive heat and contact with sharp objects. Suitable storage helps keep the accessory in good condition for its next use.
Noodles and kickboards are water activity accessories: they do not protect against drowning. Children must be supervised at all times, with the youngest kept within arm’s reach. Exercises must suit their level and the instructions of the professional supervising the session.
Giving an identity to time spent in the water
In a private pool in French-speaking Switzerland or a pool used for lessons, a well-chosen accessory contributes to the enjoyment of swimming. Personalisation adds a familiar reference point: a recognisable name, a favourite colour, an object chosen for yourself or someone else.
