Swimming equipment

We know what it means to be a swimmer. And we also know just as well what it takes. It takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears, and it takes a lot of gear (at least if you ask our trainers…). At virtually all Irish swimming clubs, it is a requirement that you have your swimming equipment in order.

We have gathered all the best swimming equipment from the most well-known and popular brands on the market. You can find it all on this page. And then it's just a matter of jumping in! If you have problems or questions, we are ready to help you right here in the live chat, by email or by phone.

What swimming equipment should you invest in?

That's a great question, because swimming equipment can include quite a few different things. Some clubs also have more requirements for your swimming equipment than others. So how do you find out exactly what your club's opinion and expectations of swimming equipment are?

If you are new to all this, and this is your first time investing in swimming equipment, it can be almost impossible to figure out. Obviously the club can't - and won't expect that from you either. Therefore, we have listed below the most basic swimming equipment that should be part of your investment:

Swim fins are a pair of "rubber feet" that you put on. Swim fins provide a larger surface area for your kicks in the water - with these you achieve higher propulsion. It will probably be the most essential and most used item of your equipment. Both Biofuse fins from Speedo as well as our Arena powerfin pro are really popular picks.

The swim board is a rubber board that you put your arms on so that you can concentrate on developing and using your legs. It is a very used piece of equipment for swimming because you often have specific leg sets where you use the swim board.

Finger paddles are smaller boards that you put on the palm of your hand. They allow you to press even harder through the water. Finger paddles are typically not part of the essential swimming equipment until you reach a certain size, age and strength (often 11-12 years old).

The pull buoy is a type of rubber plate that you put between your legs so that you cannot move them. That way you can focus on training your arms. A pull buoy is very popular throughout Ireland as part of the must-have swimming equipment. For instance it is used for swim practice teams. This Elite Pull Buoy from Speedo is an extremely popular choice.

The snorkel is something you already know, right? It makes you able to breathe underwater. This means that you can concentrate on using your legs, arms, pressing the water or something else, because you don't have to think about breathing. The snorkel is used as swimming equipment at when you're older.

We have gathered all this equipment for swimming - and more - in a great blog post, where we give you tips for ten specific swimming items you need for both competitions and swim practice.

The right swimming equipment can improve your technique

When you want to improve and focus on some specific technical skills, the right equipment for swim training comes to your rescue.

Perhaps you have a tendency not to come all the way down and finish your arm strokes in a crawl? So put on a pair of finger paddles. They make it easier to press and feel your way, so that you reach all the way down to your hip before finishing your arm grab. You can also use the snorkel if you want to improve your body position in the water. In this case, the snorkel can help you stabilize your entire swim. Are you interested in learning more about how to use the various swimming equipment correctly and optimally? Then you can read our blog post on the subject.

Equipment for swim training can be really effective when you want to get to a higher level with your swimming techniques. It is not without reason that the world's best swimmers like Michael Phelps. Jeanette Ottesen, Rikke Møller and Katie Ledecky also use the recommended swimming equipment. Quite simply - it just works!

Swimming equipment is also a great way of helping kids learning how to swim. Our swimming equipment is not just for the best or elite swimmers. Our swimming equipment can be used all the way down to new swimmers or kids who are learning to swim in general, with the help of swimming equipment.

When you have to help small kids start swimming, it is important that they can use their legs more continuously. In this case, the swim board is an important piece of equipment for swim training. If the kid is learning to stay afloat, a simple noodle can also be a very good piece of equipment.

This way, you can use swimming equipment in several different contexts – and for swimmers at different levels. And as such, you can certainly also find some swimming equipment to improve your swimming technique. We promise you that there will be swimming equipment you've never even thought of!
