i invested in some waterproof headphones and a waterproof mp3 player and those are definitely an essential now! love listening to music while i swim

[@nickmorgan7375]

My coach is awesome. I forgot my jammers once and had to wear a speedo. My teammates made fun of me so the next practice my coach coached in a speedo. He is pretty chill

[@heatherfell_oly]

Nick that is some dedication to your athletes!

Swim briefs are much better in my opinion - fit the curves of the body much better, and they accent the legs very well.

[@ladysoapmaker]

Good comprehensive list. When I started, I would just bring my suit, goggles, a towel and a change of clothes. Now I have the antifog spray, my paddles, fins. I borrow a pull buoy and kick board from my pool. And I bring shower stuff. Nothing feels better after a nice swim then a warm shower.

[@DanielMooreDJ]

So glad you uploaded this! I’m 18 and doing my first training session with my new triathlon club this week in the pool and had no idea what I need to bring

[@gtn]

Glad to be of help - have a great time! 🙂

[@normanwoods8844]

Great video and tips. The top part of the video is watching Frasier moisture his face in slow motion! priceless.😂

[@colin4215]

Good channel this, and this video prompted me to gather gear that I have misssed in my swim bag.

[@Arnthorg]

Tempo trainer and snorkel are pretty handy as well

[@heatherfell_oly]

They can come in handy too for sure.

[@TheYoutubaki]

I am about to start going to the pool. I'm 22 but never got taught how to swim "properly". At least now I'll be better prepared.

[@michelbesedin7081]

Don't go swimming without my music (like Sony NWZ-W273) and some banana after session will be good choise.

[@kablykum8039]

I just started. Love it.

[@DiegoEspinoza1980]

Sunscreen when swimming outdoors!

[@gtn]

100%

[@amysinger2201]

tips on how to maintain training while recovering from injury? Beginner here who went too hard too fast and am now nursing my shoulder, I tried focusing on kick drills, but my shoulder still is unhappy with just 4 laps of full stroke swimming because I got board just kicking. How do you mix up kick training while nursing your shoulder? BTW, THANK YOU for all your shoulder tips! but yeah, how do I keep training while resting part of my body?

[@jmcgovern9633]

Love that Roka transition bag, but looks to big/bulky for daily use.

[@heatherfell_oly]

J McGovern it is a brilliant piece of kit for sure.

[@immortalrob1630]

Besides the swim shorts, goggles etc I always take a shower gel with moisturiser in it.

[@tango-pf2kw]

Through my experience when I lived in UK ,Fins were not allowed in swimming pools.

[@thechristiancuber2716]

Is it weird or bad that I don’t train with a cap? I have kinda short hair but I just assumed if anything it would make swimming a tad harder and that would only prep me for my race better

[@williamward2472]

Baby shampoo..best anti-fog.

[@frankeeeej]

You can just roll your speedos and goggles in a towel, that way you don't even need the bag :d

[@heatherfell_oly]

frankeeej that is all well and good if you don't need to wash etc after your swim, my bag is always too full.

[@frankeeeej]

@@heatherfell_oly Well, speedos, goggles AND a shampoo bottle then ;) Just grab a massive towel and you can bring anything, haha (full disclosure; I do actually bring a kitbag to the pool like a normal human being)

[@karlangelfrank]

Can I use a pull bouy as a kick board?

[@OperaLars]

I don’t need many tools, but need Heather to help me to get a good catch.

[@heatherfell_oly]

OPERALARS we've made a video specifically on the catch, check it out!

[@OperaLars]

Heather Fell Thanks Heather, you’re the best ❤️

[@pantherason]

I am surprised, no snorkel ?

[@luciacapurro4253]

What's the model of the Roka goggles in this video?

[@odyseusjarhead602]

Combination lock for the storage locker, because unfortunately, there is no place on earth safe from thieves.

[@gtn]

Really great shout!

[@nickmorgan7375]

You could eat your gear but it might hurt your stomach

[@ianstewart8301]

Man, Heather they need to do more slow-mo of you putting on swim caps. I must be doing it wrong.

[@heatherfell_oly]

Ian I've made a video dedicated to it a while ago, search the GTN archives!

[@cerebrumexcrement]

i didnt know you could swim without kicking.

[@joesaunders8561]

FIRST I would like to do a triathlon but I’m disabled and I cannot find s category that I can fit into

[@DS-ff6ze]

Do you need a swim cap if youre bald

[@pedroantonelli2073]

Yes, because of the ears

[@pedroantonelli2073]

But a rubber band could work, I reckon

[@LorenzRommelspacher]

Snorkel? :)
