Kids Swimming Towels

Has anyone seen any kids poncho style swimming towels for older kids. Mine have got the ones that you generally see everywhere for about £3, generally suitable up to 5ish.

Was wondering if you could get them in a bigger size for bargain money?

Our swimming pool and changing rooms are on different levels, so would rather they didn't have a towel dangling around their legs while going up & down.

TIA

    Looking at this site and the way towel ponchos for older children are designed, I would just get 2 cheap small bath towels or large hand towels and sew then together with a hole for the head . asier than cutting a hole in a larger towel.
