Equipment for Swimming

Question 1

protect your eyes from chlorine (and anything else that may be in the water), and they help you keep
your eyes open while you swim so that you can see where you’re going.

Answer 1

Goggles

Question 2

fit on your feet and add propulsion to your kicks (think of a duck’s webfoot). Great training for your legs and will help you swim faster. They come in long fins for beginners who want to work on their stroke and build up leg strength and ankle flexibility and short fins to help you go faster without overworking your legs.

Answer 2

Fins

Question 3

devices made of foam or other materials that float, and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The main purpose is for you to hold on
and stay afloat while your legs do all the work. It’s good exercise for
coordinating your kicking, and it gives your arms a rest.

Answer 3

Kickboard

Question 4

Technology has entered the swimsuit arena as well. Fabrics are designed for minimal resistance through the water, they tend to last a long time, and they resist fading even when used repeatedly in chlorinated pools.

Answer 4

Swimming attire

Question 5

This keeps hair from getting into the pool, and some people just like to protect their hair from the chlorine in the water. You may also decide to wear a bathing cap to cut down on resistance in the water.

Answer 5

Bathing cap
