Equipment selection guide

Here is an introductory text about the guide and its content

1. Fins

The number one tool of the turtle hunter.

The use of fins is a natural way to increase swimming speed and body position, which is why fins are used in technique, strength and speed training for every sport. There are two types of flippers:

Open-heeled fins that give better mobility to the foot and are generally a little "stiffer" than the closed-heeled. To get the full benefit, an open-heeled flipper also requires more kicking power than a closed-heeled one, and is therefore often the choice of competitive and more experienced swimmers.

2. Speedo Fastskin swim goggles - developed with the world's top swimmers

Speedon Fastskin is a range of products developed with the world's top swimmers. Speedo Aqualab works with Team Speedo athletes, such as Adam Peaty, to create optimal training equipment for swimmers. The result is the Fastskin range of swimwear, including goggles and equipment.

Speedo's Fastskin Hyper Elite goggles are low profile and feature a dynamic design that minimises water resistance and ensures maximum speed. The goggles feature Qfit™ technology, which allows the goggles to be customised to suit your individual needs.

Fastskin Hyper Elite goggles are available in both mirrored and mirrorless versions and in a variety of colours. See the available models here.

3. Arena Tracks - the juniors' favourite

Arena's Tracks swimming goggles are excellent value for money and are ideal for training, first racing and active swimmers.
The Tracks model has been in Arena's range for a long time.

The glass has a frost-proof, durable and UV-protected polycarbonate lens, an injected lightweight silicone gasket and a silicone strap.

Three interchangeable nose bridges ensure a fit for every face type.

We recommend the Arena Tracks goggles especially for young swimmers. The goggles do not have the Swipe anti-fog treatment, so we recommend using Arena's anti-fog treatment to prolong the life of the product.

You can find the colours available for Tracks swimwear here.

4. Orca Killa 180 - the open water swimmer's favourite

Orca's Killa 180 are the top-selling swim goggles for open water swimming year after year, but they're also great for the pool. If you're looking for a soft and snug fitting swim goggles
that combines both comfort and streamlining, this Killa 180 is the absolute number one.

The glass has an ergonomic 3D silicone padding that is designed to sit on the face to reduce the feeling of pressure around the eye area. A handy adjustment mechanism makes it quick and easy to adjust the glass in open water. Highly durable anti-fog treatment that keeps the glass clear in all weather conditions.

Both mirrored and mirrorless versions are available, mirrored glass is good in sunny weather for reflecting light and keeping the field of vision clear.

5. Arena The ONE swimming goggles - the fitness swimmer's choice

Arena's The ONE swimming pool series has been designed based on Arena's research into the shape of the face.

Arena The ONE is therefore often the fitness swimmer's safe choice. The streamlined The ONE swim goggles are shaped to fit a variety of faces. The fit of the glasses is based on the results of product development on the structure of different faces. Based on these results, The ONE goggles are shaped with Arena's unique Orbit-Proof technology. The area around the eye is the most important part of the face when designing swimming goggles that do not leak. The seals on the ONE goggles are designed so that a wider seal is applied to a wider area of skin around the eyes. Wide-angle polycarbonate lenses achieve the best possible underwater view forward as well as to the edges of the field of vision.

In addition to unisex goggles, The ONE range includes a separate version for women and children, as well as a swim mask.
