Frequently asked questions
How do I stop my goggles leaking?
Fit is everything - press the goggles to your eye sockets without the strap; if they seal for a second on suction, they fit. The goggles section highlights fit-friendly options.
Do I need fins and a pull buoy?
Not to start, but they are among the most useful training aids once you are drilling technique - fins for kick and ankle flexibility, a pull buoy to isolate your stroke. Both have sections below.
What swim cap is best?
Silicone caps are durable and comfortable for most swimmers; latex is cheaper and thinner. The caps section covers the trade-offs.
