The Best Swim Gear for Beach or Pool

For those who love swimming whether at the beach or pool, we have a list of great swim gear essentials for you. Swimming is a low impact and very effective exercise and in order to make this activity the most comfortable it can be, it's important to have well fitting goggles, comfortable swimsuit, and fins. Young swimmers will likely appreciate the use of earplugs and a snorkel in addition to the above. Swim fins are important, especially in the ocean, because they help you to keep your swim form longer after getting tired. 
Goggles are the most important piece of gear to bring because well fitting goggles will keep water out of your eyes which prevents eyestrain, the loss of contacts, as well as fatigue. We like to recommend anti fog goggles because they do not cloud up like regular goggles can. 

Young swimmers may appreciate using earplugs and a snorkel in order to make the swimming experience less exhaustive and more enjoyable. Some children are also sensitive to water pressure which can be very irritating and uncomfortable for them.
