Here are some of my favorite equipment from different brands that I think every swimmer should have. It doesn't matter if you are just getting started or this is something you do on a daily basis.

The 3 big brands for swimming equipment are Speedo, Arena and TYR. They do not only have good quality products but they have a lot a variety so everyone can use it even if you are not an Olympian.


The first you'll need for swimming is a swim suit. In my opinion Speedo and Arena have the best ones out there. I've always been a fan of Speedo swimsuits but lately I've been using more Arena for that. You want a suit that is comfortable, stylish and durable. Both brands offer from simply to more colorful and playful designs. They also have two parts-bikinis- that you can wear for practice or during summer time. I love bikinis from this brands because they look great and I know it won't fall off when I dive in.

Here are some examples from each:

Second, you will need cap and goggles. Caps are good in any of the 3 brands I names at the beginning, each brand has it own style and designs but they are all good. When it comes to goggles, it's probably the most important decision for me. I want to find the perfect goggles that are comfortable to wear, I look good in them and that water doesn't come in. I usually only wear Speedo.


But for all of you that don't swim as often or are just starting, I recently discover a new band that makes custom fit goggles. I've never tried it but I think it would be the best option for someone that has never swam since it will be a custom fit for your face. The company named is TheMagic5 and it has recently been in Shark Tank and got a deal from it. How does it work? They map the contour of your face through their app to guarantee the perfect fit for you. This way it's easier for beginners and kids to choose goggles and have the guarantee that it fits you perfectly and water won't come in.

I really hope this can help you pick the best swimsuit, cap or goggles even if you just are not a swimmer and want to use it during summer time. I'll leave all the links for their websites below!
