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

Pack more than you think you will need of everything for a meet.
Make a checklist of everything you want to have with you, even for workout.
Even if you don't swim before work, keep extra underwear and pants in your bag/locker/desk. I've had to go to school with my suit, sweatpants, and whatever shirt I did dryland in.
I personally write my workouts on aluminum foil in Sharpie. It never comes off.
For women, know the proper color foundation/concealer you need to cover up the goggle lines.
