Swim Kit Additions

Two fantastic additions we have made to our swim kit this season are the AquaFlex Goggle by Zoggs and ear plugs by SwimEars .

Aquaflex by Zoggs

The Aquaflex goggle becomes available in New Zealand from July 2016.We think it fills the gap perfectly in Zoggs range of goggles that we recommend for our swimmers. Now there truly is a goggle for everyone. At the small, low profile spectrum we have the RaceSpex while at the upper region we have the higher profile (and by far the most popular) Zoggs Predator Titanium . The Aquaflex fits perfectly between the two providing a lower profile goggle than the Predator while still providing a good field of vision. Our advice for goggles as always is try before you buy but we truly feel that one of these three styles will meet your swim needs.

For ear plugs we are stoked to be using SwimEars. Why? Most earplugs have a ‘one size fits all’ mentality. SwimEars enable you to custom fit the plug to your ears – how cool is that? If you are like us one of the frustrating things about wearing an earplug is you are then cut off from your swim mates – you can no longer hear them. Well SwimEars are also designed to let sound in! The third ‘win’ for us is that the plugs are connected via a leash. We were a little sceptical to begin however the leash fits nicely under the cap and that one time in hundred your custom fitted plug falls out (maybe when swimming with dolphins) you don’t lose it!

SwimEars

Well done Zoggs and well done SwimEars for helping to make our swims just that little more comfortable.
