Learning how to swim?
Here are the top 5 swim essentials you need!
Enjoy summertime and cool off at the pool. If you are new to swimming, in addition to swimwear, basic swimming gear shouldn’t be overlooked. Beginner experienced, let’s see if you have all the essential swimming gear in the list below:
Swimming Goggles
Pool water often contains bacteria and chemicals. Wearing swimming goggles protects your eyes from direct contact with the pool water. If you are nearsighted or myopic, you can get a pair of prescription goggles to help you see.
Swimming Cap
Swimming caps are often overlooked, as they don’t seem to make us look fashionable. Let’s get practical, they protect our hair from chlorinated water, and help us swim faster by reducing resistance. Colourful swim caps can actually look good, and help the lifeguards spot drowning swimmers.
Earplugs
Water inevitably gets in our ears when swimming. It’s not advisable to get the water out of our ears with fingers or cotton swabs, as it may cause infection and inflammation. So just wear earplugs, and you don’t have to worry about it.
Arm floats
Children often wear arm floats when learning to swim. It’s not just about safety but also acts to relax muscle tension and improve posture, helping young swimmers adapt more efficiently.
