I recently enrolled my 18 month old daughter in swimming lessons.  She was the smallest one in the class and the bubbles they put on her back were substandard in my opinion.  I wanted something a little safer that she could wear should we take her boating or to Grandma and Grandpa's pool.I decided on purchasing the Speedo infant heads up life jacket.  It is certified as safe ...

Getting water in my ears is the thing that bothers me the most about swimming.  The sound and feel of water sloshing around by my brain is far too distracting for me to perform well.  When I began swimming to train for a triathlon, ear plugs were one of my first purchases. The rubber earplugs that Speedo makes have worked the best for me.  They have flanges on them, so can be cut...

I was in Sam's Club about a week ago buying some supplies for our upcoming trip to the beach when I saw this pair of shoes on the clearance shelf.  It was the only pair there and it was my size so I took that as a sign that I was meant to have them!  They are an "all terrain" type shoe that slips on and has elastic laces across the top that don't tie.  I think t...

We bought Snorkelling equipment for the youngest daughter and myself for our cruise (see my cruise review :). We thought it would work out cheaper in the long run than renting. I saw this so called anti-fog soloution next to the snorkelling equipment so I thought I'd pick up a bottle. For me the soloution is a waste of time and money, it just didnt do what it said on the bottle, both our ma...

When my daughter joined the neighborhood swim team, she had to purchase a pair of Speedo Woman's Vanquisher Goggles as part of her equipment. According to the package, these are classified as competition quality goggles. From the looks and feel of them they seem to be very well made compared to the cheap ones we have always purchased in the past. The part around the lenses and the stra...

Speedo Neo Aqua Men's Swim shorts is the perfect if you don't like wearing the usual triangular bathers. These bathers are perfect and practical. If you have are embarrased about your legs or private bits the trunks hide them perfectly. The trunks are the cross between board shorts and the normal bathers this outcome is fantastic for anyone. I see a lot of professionals wear these types...

The popularity of swim wear trunks has risen rapidly in the past few years, mostly thanks to women objecting against men wearing the normal swimming bathers which are in the triangle shape. These just feel as if your litterally wearing nothing at all, which is always a bit of fun. The good thing about a tight set of trunks is that you know that when your swimming little and little water risiste...

When ever Speedo makes something for watersports, you know its going to be something fantastic, and the Speedo Senior Elite Pullbuoy/Kickboard doesn't dissapoint. This pullbouy represents class, just through the new design really. The cool chic design makes so many people look at me when I jump into the pool, mainly jealous looks I believe! The drag of this bouy really is somet...

With summer weather finally here my family is spending more and more time in the water. All of us have sensitive eyes and use swimming goggles if we are going to be in the water for long. Everyone seems to have his or her favorite brand with three of us preferring the Speedo Vanquisher Swim Goggle. We are easily able to tell which are ours, as we have them in blue, clear and mint. They are also...

For three years now I've been competitively swimming. There are three things that we swimmers need to be happy, Nice goggles, a durible cap and a swimsuit. All of the above need to be comfortable. Speedo womens vanquisher fit this criteria quite well. They have silicon lining to prevent any irritation along the eyes. Some of the nice features of this product are the adjustable nose piece (t...

I had some swimming lessons during my college years, our teacher used to sell us this cloth swimming cap and I really hate it because not only does it not keep my hair the after smell is really bad.  I had to invest with a better cap, something that will stay put in my head and will keep my hair away from my face whilst swimming. I have window shopped for sporting goods shop but being in c...

When I lived at home my parents had a pool in our backyard that was big enough to do laps.  Since watching all the fantastic swimming on this summer's olympics I realized how much I missed swimming since I've moved.  My apartment has a pool and I decided that since I work nights, and get home around 6am, that would be the perfect time to swim some laps and have the pool to mys...

I've been doing water aerobics for several years, and I've used a variety of shoes. I started out with regular water shoes that you'd wear to the beach. While these protected my feet from the rough floor of the pool, they did nothing for my workout. If you are going to be serious about water aerobics, you are going to need some good shoes. Speedo water aerobics shoes look and feel l...
