Equipment guide for the beginner swimmer

If your freestyle kick feels particularly difficult or it slows down your development in other areas, then fins are your training tool! With fins, you can make your kick more efficient and stable, so you can focus better on combining armstroke and breathing, for example. Discover the models here.

Breathing and kicking exercises play a big role in learning the basics of swimming. A swim board is an excellent tool for this. It is much easier to first learn, for example, breaststroke or freestyle kicking with a board, than to swim directly. In addition, you can practice freestyle breathing with one-handed swimming exercises without panicking about not staying afloat when you have a swim board to support you.

NOTE! Many swimming pools also offer these for rent, but if you have a board in your own equipment bag (of course in your favorite color), you will ensure that the board is always available when you need it and where you need it. Check out the models here .

Does breathing interfere with the development of other areas? If so, I recommend training with a snorkel as well. The snorkel “eliminates” breathing so that you can focus better on other areas such as kicking or pulling. Check out the models here .
