A Beginner’s Guide to Swimming

Obviously you will need a swimsuit to learn how to swim.

For men, these are usually swim briefs or swim trunks. Board shorts aren’t very good for swimming as they create too much drag.

For women, the most comfortable swimsuit is the one-piece swimsuit.

In most cases, a swim cap is required when swimming in a public pool.

A swim cap is also very useful if you have long hair and want to avoid that it gets into your face while swimming.

If your child are serious about learning how to swim, swimming goggles are also mandatory as they will allow them to put their head under water without getting water in the eyes.

This will permit more relaxed and streamlined swimming.
