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

Uh oh... Ok, this is something to watch for. Is there any advanced warning on the seams (should I be checking the seams every time I take my suit off?) Or will one day it just go?
I am on my second Speedo Endurance suit and I figure I should start watching the seams at the one year mark, just to be safe... :D Most of the time, I swim alone, so I won't have to worry about a- uhhh- mishap. But, I can assure you and smontanaro that whenever I travel, I will be bringing two suits! That's my "Swim Wisdom" of the day. :bolt:
Philo, just count on the seams going before the fabric. But, the Endurance is an excellent suit for training. I just think the over-chlorinated pool on the cruise ship shortened the life of my suit.
