Choosing the right swimming equipment will play a vital role in improving your performances and smashing your targets over the coming season.
Keeping your swimming kit bag fully stocked with everything you need is extremely important, not only for your racing and training sessions but also for your peace of mind.
Knowing all your swim essentials are kept safely and securely in the same place will make your training routine run so much more smoothly.
You’ll have all your favourite kit together, as well as a selection of essential training aids that you can easily grab from poolside no matter what drills or work you decide to focus on.
Swimmers today can choose from an incredible range of swim bags which have all been designed especially to meet their every need.
Not only do swimming bags have separate compartments for wet and dry kit, they also have safe and secure protective pockets for swim accessories such as goggles, caps and training aids.
Whether you’re swimming competitively, for fitness or for fun, you can customise your swim bag with all your favourite kit and equipment.
Below are our top seven suggestions for must-have items to put in your swim gear bag. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to build your perfect swimming kit bag and get ready to smash those goals!
Top Tips to Create Your Perfect Swim Equipment Bag
1) Bag
So it’s time to get rid of your trusty swim bag. It’s been with you through the good times and the bad, but it’s definitely looking (and smelling) past its best!
If you’re creating your own swimming kit bag for a new season, you want to start with the bag itself.
Look for a bag or swim rucksack which has separate compartments for storing wet and dry kit, as well as a spacious main storage area for keeping your favourite training aids.
Special external pockets for water bottles are a great feature too, along with protective pockets for goggles and mesh pockets for letting wet items air after use.
Some of our most popular swim bags are the TYR Alliance and Arena Spiky 2 backpacks. If you’re looking for even more ideas, you can read our Top 10 Swim Backpacks blog article.
2) Swimwear
With your new swim bag sorted, it’s time to get some new swimwear. At ProSwimwear we have hundreds of jammers and kneesuits from all the top swim brands, so you’re sure to find the right for you.
Our training swimwear is made from durable chlorine-resistant fabrics which help them keep their shape, fit and colour for longer. Perfect for putting in the hours at the pool!
We also stock the world’s fastest race suits, including our World Exclusive Speedo LZR Racer Elite 2 / Racer X collection along with the Arena Powerskin range, the FINIS Rival, the adidas Adizero XVIII and many more.
3) Swim Goggles
Enjoy crystal-clear vision during your swim with a smart new pair of swimming goggles.
Choosing mirrored goggles will help protect your eyes from the glare of bright lights, and many goggles also come with an anti-fog coated lens.
Among our most popular goggles are the Arena Cobra and Speedo Fastskin ranges. These have been designed using the most advanced racing technology to produce a low-profile streamlined goggle that reduces drag and increases glide.
You may also want to consider buying a swim goggle case so you can protect your lenses from scratches and marks while carrying them.
4) Swim Cap
Whether you’re looking for a professional racing swim cap or a cartoon-inspired fun one, there’s a colour and style to suit everybody.
A good swim cap will not only work in conjunction with your goggles to streamline your head, it will also help to protect your hair from the effects of chlorine.
There are even special swim caps designed for swimmers with long hair, such as the Speedo Long Hair Silicone Cap.
5) Swim Training Fins
Swim training fins are an essential training aid for swimmers of any ability. If you’re looking to improve your technique, speed and strength, this is the swim equipment you need to have!
Wearing swim training fins will dramatically increase your speed in the water, while preserving energy, meaning you’ll be able to swim faster for longer.
This has many benefits during training. Your upper body will adjust to swimming at an increased speed, and you’ll also improve your lower body strength and ankle flexibility.
6) Swimming Kickboard
Want to improve your kick technique and leg strength? Then a kickboard is the training aid for you!
Using a swimming kickboard keeps your upper body buoyant without the need for an arm stroke, so you’ll be able to turn your full attention to fine-tuning your kicking.
At the same time, you’ll be building your lower body strength and stamina, as well as developing a better body position in the water.
7) Pull Buoys
So you’ve worked on your leg kicks, now it’s time to improve your stroke technique and arm strength!
A pull buoy is a fantastic training aid for achieving this. By gripping a pull buoy between your thighs, your lower body will become buoyant in the water without the need for kicks.
It means you can concentrate fully on your arm movement or breathing technique, and get a complete upper body workout.
Your new swimming kit bag is ready to go!
If you’ve followed each step above, chances are you’ve created a pretty awesome swimming kit bag!
Remember, you don’t have to stick to these seven suggestions. You may want to add another training aid such as a swimming snorkel to help with your breathing while working on your swim technique, or some hand paddles to continue your stroke work.
You could even add your favourite swimming gadgets to your kit bag, as many swimming rucksacks will have specialist compartments to keep electronics dry and safe.
Happy swimming, and let’s start smashing some PBs!
