Swimming FAQs

How do I choose the right swimwear for my swimming style?

Selecting the ideal swimwear depends largely on your frequency of use and the environment you swim in. For fitness enthusiasts who train several times a week in chlorinated pools, we recommend choosing from our specialized swimwear range featuring AQUARESIST technology. ... These fabrics are specifically engineered to resist the damaging effects of chlorine, which can break down traditional Lycra and cause sagging over time. If you are participating in performance training or artistic swimming, look for streamlined silhouettes with muscle compression features that reduce hydrodynamic drag. Conversely, for occasional leisure use, comfort and style might take precedence. Rinsing your suit in fresh, cold water immediately after each session helps maintain the elasticity of the technical fibers and prevents the buildup of pool chemicals that can degrade the fabric.

What equipment is best for improving swimming technique?

To refine your stroke mechanics and build muscle strength, utilizing targeted swimming equipment is highly effective. Training aids like pull buoys help isolate the upper body to improve arm pull, while kickboards allow you to focus entirely on leg power and hip alignment. The technical "why" behind using these tools is to provide targeted buoyancy or resistance, allowing you to perfect one aspect of your form without being overwhelmed. For those just beginning their aquatic journey, our learning to swim range offers progressive aids that help build water confidence and safety skills in a structured way.

What should I consider for open water swimming in Ireland?

Swimming in the Irish sea or local lakes requires specialized gear to handle lower temperatures and variable conditions. For open water swimming, a neoprene wetsuit is essential for thermal protection. Neoprene works by trapping a thin layer of water against your skin, which your body warms to create an insulating barrier. Safety is also paramount, so we recommend using a bright tow-float for visibility and polarized goggles to reduce sun glare on the surface. Adding functional swimming accessories like earplugs and a thick silicone cap will further prevent heat loss and protect against ear irritation during longer coastal sessions.

Can I create a swimming space at home for training?

If you prefer the convenience of home-based recreation or training, our selection of pools provides various sizes to fit your garden or outdoor space. Maintaining a home pool requires consistent water treatment and filtration to ensure a hygienic environment for the whole family. For those looking for the best value, exploring our swimming deals section allows you to secure essential kit and training hardware at a reduced price. Keeping your goggles clean with anti-fog sprays and storing your gear in ventilated bags will ensure your equipment lasts for many seasons, whether you are training for a competitive gala or enjoying a summer dip at home.
