When your swimming takes you to the pool year round, winter can become quite brutal on your body, especially your muscles. It is important to protect the condition of your muscles before and after you hit the water to prevent cramping or impeding your swimming skills. If your swimming takes you into the winter, whether your climate gets cold or not, it would be wise to invest in a quality swim parka to keep you warm and to avoid unnecessary injury.
