Eyes right

Article Abstract:

The right kind of goggles should provide swimmers with clear and dry vision. In purchasing a pair of goggles, however, it is important to ensure that the fit, features, functions and prices match one's expectations and needs. The best way to pick the right kind of goggles is to try on different types from a big selection. However, since goggles are as personal as underwear, a pair that looks perfect on one person may not be as perfect on another. Some 21 latest models of goggles were tested to see how best to ensure the fit, secure the seal and lengthen the life of goggles.

Glove story

Article Abstract:

Wearing fistgloves while swimming may reduce one into swimming without hands. However, since the slippery latex produces very little friction against the water, fistgloves force swimmers to use the rest of their arms for propulsion. They also help swimmers concentrate on staying streamlined and balanced, generating force from the hips and shoulders, developing a strong hip rotation and maintaining a long, full stroke with high elbows.
