Here's some training tools to consider from our equipment supplier, Ly Sports...
- Prescription goggles so you can see the white board or read something in the water (clear lens’ if you find the light in the pool to dim, they have smoked version)
- Smaller Pull buoy (best for women/smaller athletes whose legs float well)
- Larger pull buoy (best for larger men/athletes with legs that sink)
- FINIS Paddles (most people are 2 dot/medium size, these are great to help develop a good catch/early vertical forearm pull and pull power)
- Short Blade Fins (help weaker kickers do many drills, build leg strength in Kick Sets, and improve ankle flexibility,
these FINIS Zoomer Fins are my personal favourite). These are expensive but popular with experienced swimmers. - If you have trouble with water up your nose, nose plugs are a great idea for backstrokers and when using a snorkel.
- Snorkel (great for warmups and cooldowns, and kick Sets to help develop a flat body line in the water). Their use is not often used by our club, but they allow you to really focus on your stroke while eliminating the need to turn for a breath in warmups and cooldowns especially.
- Kick boards are not on this list as there's a large supply of them on deck beside the guard office. It's recommended you grab one for kick sets if you use a board for them (kicking is better done without one, or with a snorkel ideally)
- If you want to minimize your costs, there's a bucket of pull buoys on deck at the far end of the pool in the shallow end. There aren't many, and they can get pretty grungy, but that is an option.
