A swim cap is another important piece of swim gear you will need at the pool. Depending on the rules of the public pool, you may be required to wear a swim cap, but many pools don't require one. A swim cap is an important piece of swim gear because it allows you to go swimming without getting your hair wet. People who have chemically treated hair such as colored, or have perm, or relaxed hair usually buy a swim cap to protect their hair from the chlorine in the pool. Swim goggle are another important piece of swim gear because they protect your eyes from the chemicals in the pool.

A nose clip is a piece of swim gear that is optional to any swimming beginner, but it is a good choice if you have to hold your nose under water. Nose clips help beginners to move both arms through the water quickly and for the serious swimmers to perform various moves under the water. Nose clips are also a good piece of swim gear when teaching children how to swim. If you're planning on doing a lot of underwater exploration, swim fins are the best piece of swim gear you can own. No matter what stroke you are doing to get through the water, swim fins will assist you in greater speed and distance.

Other swim gear, which is usually available at public pools are pull buoys and water noodles. Although this swim gear is available, you may want to invest in your own so you don't have to share. Pull buoys helps in giving the arms an intense workout and giving support for hips and legs. The figure eight shaped piece of foam is placed between the legs to give the lower body a way to stay afloat without using the legs. Water noodles or swim noodles are long cylinders made of foam which can be used as personal flotation device or can be called as equipment for water aerobics. This gear is used to float in a vertical position with the head above the water without doing any arm or leg movements. Swim noodles are most times used in swimming instruction, but many times people use them to relax as they gently kick their way around the pool. Another important swimming gear is the flotation belts which help to maintain a vertical position and reduce lower back stress. With the swim gear in place, you'll be able to experience the swimming pool and never miss a thing.
