Swimming training equipment

The need for swimming equipment

You’re looking for high-performance, durable swimming equipment. Equipment that will accompany you season after season, in training as well as in competition.

Whether you swim for pleasure, are an experienced swimmer or a triathlete in preparation, sooner or later you’ll need equipment to progress.

Here’s an overview of equipment to consider

• Eye protection: against chlorine, salt and impurities.
• Clear vision: for better underwater orientation.
• Less resistance: for smoother, faster swimming.

• Enhanced hygiene: reduces hair loss in the water and helps keep the pool clean.
• Better performance: properly fitted, it reduces water resistance for smoother swimming.
• Hair protection: protects against chlorine and salt, preventing dryness and damage.
• Suitable for long hair: some models are specially designed for long hair, with a wider molding or an ergonomic headband/cap system.

• Upper body insulation: keeps legs afloat and lets you concentrate on your arms.
• Technical work: refines arm movements, traction, propulsion and hand position.
• Save energy: your legs stay still, so you can swim longer.
• Stabilization: promotes a better horizontal position and reduces drag in the water.

• Leg isolation: by immobilizing the arms, it concentrates effort on the legs.
• Muscular strengthening: increases water resistance to build thighs, calves and buttocks.
• Increased endurance: allows you to work for longer to improve leg endurance.
• Better posture: helps maintain a horizontal posture and reduce drag.
• Accessible to all: available in most pools, it is suitable for all levels.

• Hand paddles :
  • Muscle strengthening: targeting arms, shoulders and triceps.
  • Power gain: ideal for improving speed.
  • Versatility: can be used for different swimming styles.
• Finger paddles :
  • Technical work: perfect for refining arm movements.
  • Less muscular strain: ideal for pain and tension.
  • Beginners: light resistance, excellent for technical progress.

• Muscle strengthening: target thighs, calves and buttocks thanks to water resistance.
• Speed gain: they improve propulsion for faster swimming.
• Cardio training: they place greater demands on the heart and muscles.
• Technical work: they help to correct the movement and position of the feet.
• Stabilization: they improve posture and reduce drag in the water.

• Arm work: you can concentrate on coordination and traction without worrying about breathing.
• Continuous breathing: no more turning your head, you breathe without interruption and maintain a regular rhythm.
• Body position: promotes a horizontal posture, reduces drag and improves swimming efficiency.
• Technical focus: freed from breathing, you refine your gestures and correct faults.
• Save energy: you swim longer at constant effort, reducing the energy cost of breathing.

• With valve (leisure use): easy evacuation of water and air, ideal for safe, continuous breathing.
• Without valve, with reducers (advanced level): precise control of air flow, specific work on breathing and endurance.

The nose clip are essential accessories for swimmers. They are designed to prevent water from entering the nostrils while swimming. This allows swimmers to breathe more easily while maintaining a hydrodynamic position in the water.

Nose clips are usually made of silicone or soft plastic for a comfortable fit.

String bags are small, lightweight fabric bags with drawstrings.

Swimmers use them to carry their essentials such as goggles, swim caps, boards/pull-buoy, fins/floats, etc.

They have the invaluable advantage of being made of mesh, so they don’t retain water and allow you to collect your accessories when you get out of the water, without preventing them from drying.

Storage bags are larger than string bags and are designed to carry all the equipment needed for swimming training.

Some storage bags also feature special compartments to keep items organized, and especially “wet” compartments for storing swimsuits and towels on the way home.

Swimming towels are specially designed for swimmers. They are generally larger than ordinary towels and are made of absorbent materials that dry quickly.

Microfiber towels are ideal for swimmers because they dry quickly, are lightweight and compact, durable, versatile, and offer improved hygiene thanks to their natural antibacterial properties.

• Time and distance: precisely measure your sessions and track your progress.
• Speed: control your pace, whether for splits or long sets.
• Heart rate: some models measure cardio underwater to adapt intensity.
• Technical analysis: movement detection, length counting, swimming efficiency.
• Number of laps: track your lengths automatically, useful for race preparation.
• Guided workouts: plan, program and track your sessions in real time.
