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

I put my goggles in a case of some sort to protect them from scratching in my bag.
Rinse goggles, suits, swim gear, hair and body with fresh water and soap after practice to reduce chlorine damage.
Conditioner for the hair is just as important as moisturizer for the skin.
Use powder on bathing caps to increase longevity.
Do not use your tooth brush and tooth paste to clean the insides of your goggle lenses, it can cause scratches giving them a hazy look.
