MY FAVORITE GEAR:

When it comes to swim gear, comfort and durability make all the difference. Here are a few of my go-to spots for suits and essentials:

SWIM SUITS:

• JOLYN – My all-time favorite for stylish, durable suits that actually stay put in the water. Great colors, fun cuts, and built for swimmers. Shop JOLYN

• Dick’s Sporting Goods – Easy option if you want to try things on in person and find solid suits designed for lap swimming. Shop Dick’s Swimming Gear

• SwimOutlet – The Amazon of swim gear. They carry everything: practice suits, goggles, caps, fins, paddles, and more. Shop SwimOutlet

SWIM CAPS:

• TYR Long Hair Wrinkle-Free Silicone Cap – this works especially well if you have long hair. Shop TYR Cap

GOGGLES:

• Speedo Vanquisher 3.0 Mirror Goggles – My go-to for lap swimming. They fit snugly, don’t leak, and the mirrored lenses are perfect for bright pools or outdoor swims. Shop Speedo Goggles

• ROKA Goggles – High-performance and super comfortable, especially great if you also do open water swims or triathlon training.

PADDLES:

• FINIS Agility Paddles – I love these because they’re strapless and float, which means you really have to focus on good technique. Perfect for building strength and refining your stroke. Shop FINIS Paddles

GoPro

• GoPro (Underwater Video) – One of the best tools for learning. I use it to film swimmers underwater so you can actually see your stroke, spot technique changes, and track your progress over time.
