Starting swim lessons or training for a race? Don’t get lost in the sea of swim gear. Here’s what’s worth buying (and what can wait).
Must-Have Gear:
Well-fitted goggles – Comfort and visibility are key. Fog-resistant ones are worth the investment.
Kickboard – Essential for technique work.
Swim Cap – Keeps hair out of the way and protects it from chlorine and salt.
Gear Bag – To carry your wet gear easily. The gold star is to carry your gear with you as you swim in a dry bag - check out the ones we have in stock!

Skip (for now):
Fins (short blade) (useful later, not essential early on)
Hand paddles (can strain shoulders if used incorrectly)
Snorkels (useful later, not essential early on)
Expensive tech like swim watches unless you're racing competitively
Pro Tip: Bring a reusable water bottle and magnesium oil spray for muscle recovery post-swim. We also have this available in our store. 👉Click Here
