Leisure Kicks - The essencial sport and leisure guide

Depending on your level swimming gear can be both affordable and found everywhere, even most leisure centres will have a small shop where you can pick up the basics. Aside from the water itself you need to dip into, here is the gear you should pick up first.

Swimsuit: Whether you opt for Speedos or Bermudas, a high leg swimsuit or an all-in-one body suit, you’ll want to make sure it’s good quality and durable. Swimming cap: good to keep your hair out of your eyes and protect it from chlorine damage.
