Swimming Gear
A basic gear list for a young swimmer should include:
Goggles
You can most likely buy these at your local pool and also at any sports store or swim shop. Goggles should fit snugly around the eye and your swimmer should feel a slight suck.
They may need to try on a number of different brands and styles until they find ones that are both comfortable and watertight on them.
If your swimmer’s goggles come off during a dive, it may be because of a technical problem with the dive rather than the googles.
Swimming Caps
A swim cap can protect hair from water/chlorine damage and also promote your swimmer’s team.
Latex caps are cheaper to buy but may not last as long as silicone caps.
Take care when putting on swim caps with long nails and rings on your fingers they do rip easily.
A Hutt Swim Club swim cap may be provided to members when available.
Drink Bottles
Hydration is very important when swim training, it is essential that every swimmer has a drink bottle with their name on it and uses it every session.
Never share bottles for hygiene reasons.
Club Equiptment
Should a swimmer use any club equipment, it must be used for club purposes only and returned to the cage at the deep end of Huia Pool at the end of the session they have been used for.
