Suit Up: Cheap Swim Gear

By admin On May 26, 2009 No Comments

Triathlon.  

It’s the ultimate test for an athlete putting all limits to the test with swimming, biking and running.

It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, yet there is one thing holding me back.  Swimming.  This comes from the girl who used to clutch to the side of the swimming pool holding on for dear life. 

I know that swimming is the ultimate sport to slim and tone.  It would push me one step closer to being a triathlete.  So why not start now?

In order to begin my quest I am in search of the best inexpensive swimming gear.  

After some extensive research here’s what I’ve found to bring me one step closer to reaching my goal..

The perfect suit to conquer the sport of swimming is the Learn to Swim Super Proback.  It’s great for a beginner, like myself, and has the look of a classic speedo.  Perfect at only $28!

In order to gain some speed it’s important to have the right accessories.  Start off right with the perfect swim cap.  Why wouldn’t you since they are only $1.95!?  Get one in every color!

Make sure you are seeing straight with these Speedo Vanquisher Competition Goggles.  At only $8.99, it will be a task to get out of the pool!

Now I’m ready to hit the pool and get in gear.  Next step is a triathlon training schedule.

There are many reasons why the “I can’t go to the gym today” quote comes into play.  

I’m too busy.

My iPod needs to be charged.

It’s raining.

It’s cold.

These excuses may all sound very familiar, at least to me they do!  There’s one excuse that after reading this you can never use again.  Your gym bag!

The following bags are under $50, trendy and provide every little pocket, zipper, compartment you can imagine.  So next time you can be on your way to the gym with no excuses.

Show your true colors with this hot black and white zebra print barrel tote gym bag.  It has plenty of room to stash all of your gym accessories and the price is more than desirable at only $14.
