Swim Wisdom is a thread dedicated to the little bits of wisdom we accumulate in swimming. It's not about swimming faster it's about living better & smarter. share Practical stuff Like:
I've noticed my Teva Mush flip flops smell awful when they are slightly wet & I leave them in my car. So I leave them outside my car on the window under my windshield wiper blades, they dry faster, don't stink up my car & so far they haven't been stolen. Done this with towels & suits too
dry rubber tech suits inside out
keep your goggles inside a case when you're not using them & they won't get as scratched up
please share what works for you

If you have a problem with water in your ears, use plain white vinegar as a drying agent, instead of the alcohol drops. The vinegar will dry the ear, not upset the natural balance and kill any bacteria that might cause and infection.
Thanks - I must try this one as I do suffer a bit with my ears.
Plus I guess smelling of vinegar would make a pleasant change from smelling of chlorine ;)
