Basic Swimming Equipment
Swimming trunks - these vary greatly, from the classic skimpy "Speedos" to large shorts. The trend has been going towards larger shorts, but these do hold you up and waste your energy with extra drag. The shorter trunks are a good compromise between the 2 extremes.If you're not comfortable with the shorter trunks or Speedos, then you could try a wetsuit. Some say they even help you swim faster, although I think this depends on the suit and your technique in the suit.
Swimsuits - they come in a great variety of shapes and as 1 or 2 piece suits. Whilst fashion plays a part in the choice, like the men's trunks, the "in" swimsuit of the season isn't necessarily the ideal suit for swimming.The fit, comfort and durability are the things you need to look for when buying your swimsuit.
Swimming goggles - these are important for regular swimmers as they protect your eyes from chlorine in the pool. They allow you to open your eyes under water, but visibility is generally poor. Although there are now models with improved visibility and most are anti-fog.
Swimming caps - these aren't essential, but can come in handy for those with long hair. They keep hair away from the water and so reduce your drag, helping you swim faster. They also protect your hair from chlorine, good for if you have any artificial colour in your hair.Swimming caps are good for you as they will (generally) keep your hair dry, and good for the pool as there won't be long strands of hair floating about!
