Carrying the right gear in your swim backpack will keep you prepared.

As with any sport, the items you carry in your swim backpack can help you feel comfortable and perform your best. When you have all the necessary equipment at your meets or even your practices, you will feel better prepared and able to handle the competition ahead of you because you will feel relaxed and prepared. The swimmers backpack is an important component of the overall swimming experience. Understanding what you should carry in your bag will ensure you have just what you need.

Shampoo and Conditioner

Any swimmer knows how hard the pool water is on their hair. The chemicals that are used in the water to keep the pool clean are wonderful for your health but wreak havoc on your hair. The faster you wash and condition your hair after leaving the pool, the better off your hair will be in the long run. There are a variety of shampoos and conditioners to choose from, but it is important to choose one that is made just for swimmers. Malibu C Swimmers Water Action Shampoo offers the perfect combination of a gentle shampoo with one that is meant to prevent the buildup of chlorine in the hair or those chemicals that cause green hair. After washing with this effective shampoo, it is important to follow it with the Malibu C Swimmers Water Action Conditioner to add body and bring the shine back to your hair.

Towels

It might seem obvious that swimmers need towels in their bags, but the right towel makes a major difference. The perfect towel for any swimmer is one that offers extra absorbency and comfort to wrap yourself in after a long, hard swim meet. Swimmers should carry one or more towels, such as the TYR Dry Off Sports Towel, that offers the perfect balance between softness and durability to ensure longevity, even after frequent use.

MP3 Player

Every swimmer needs time to relax and unwind. Music is the best way to provide this relaxation, either before or after a swim meet. There are even a variety of MP3 players, such as the Speedo Aquabeat 2.0 MP3 Player, that can be used underwater to provide you with the rhythm and motivation you need to keep up your endurance to help you be more competitive during your meets. Carry your MP3 player in your swim backpack to ensure you always have it when you are at the pool.

Speedo Pro Backpack

7 02 2009
Speedo Pro Backpack

Speedo Pro Backpack

By far the most popular swim backpack is the Speedo Pro Backpack. This is the best selling swimming backpack on the market. So what makes it so great? First off the styling is great with the 100% polyester dobby fabric that gives you that shiny new look and the color choices that will work great with any swim team outfit. The Speedo backpacks have been a great option for many years now and the Pro Backpack continues to take it to the next level with the anatomically shaped shoulder straps, cell phone and goggle pouch, media pocket, wet pocket, ventilated side pockets, and front webbing towel straps. The towel straps are one of my favorite features on a good swim backpack. They are obviously perfect for your towel but they are also great for drying your wet swimsuits after swim practice. I also see a lot of swimmers that will attach key chains and bag tags to the towel straps. Don’t worry about setting your Speedo Pro Backpack on the wet pool deck since it has a water resistant rubberized bottom to keep your stuff dry. Another great option with this swim backpack is the large flap at the top which serves two purposes: easy access to your gear and a great place to embroider your name and swim team logo. Don’t worry if the Pro Backpack is too big because is also has a little brother the Speedo Small Pro Backpack.
