Swimming Accessories and What They Are Used For
Swimming accessories can improve comfort, safety and technique in the water. Goggles protect the eyes from chlorinated water and sunlight, while swim caps reduce drag and help protect hair. Earplugs and nose clips can also keep water out during recreational swimming. Training aids such as kickboards, pull buoys, fins, hand paddles and finger paddles help swimmers isolate different parts of the body. They can improve kicking, arm strength, balance, ankle flexibility and stroke technique. Snorkels help swimmers maintain a steady head position, while pool noodles and inflatable armbands provide buoyancy for beginners. Swimming parachutes add resistance during training, and proper pool fencing and safety equipment remain important for preventing accidents.
