Form-fitting Swim Attire
The less drag, the better! Speedo and Tyr make excellent swim attire.
Swim Cap
If you have very short hair or a shaved head, a cap is optional! Check out the collection available at Sports Authority.
Goggles
You will need goggles that fit well. The goggles must be eye goggles only; not the full SCUBA diving-type mask that covers your nose. Here are some examples of the correct goggles:
Nose Clip
Optional. Take a look at the ones at the Swim Outlet link below. Nose clips can also be purchased at Sports Authority. I have pairs available for $5, if you prefer.
Ear Plugs
Optional. Check out the ear plugs or ear putty at the Swim Outlet link below. These can also be purchased at Sports Authority.
Towels
Bring a couple!
Water
Bring at least 2 bottles of water. I have a backup supply if you forget. Hydration is very important, even when you're in the water!
Flip-flops and a Warm T-shirt or Parka
Most Important: Your Passion!
Bring your passion to learn and become a better swimmer! I recommend watching Olympic Medalists Michael Phelps and Dara Torres. Click their names to see videos of them!
