About SwimTested

Swim gear succeeds or fails on fit. Goggles that leak, a suit that bags out after a month of chlorine or a wetsuit a size off will cut a session short. SwimTested explains how each item should fit and which materials hold up, then compares the gear that suits each kind of swimmer.

We cover pool and open-water swimming, competition, triathlon swim legs, water polo and learn-to-swim. Pool equipment and water chemistry belong to our sister site PoolTested. Our guides are not a substitute for swimming lessons or lifeguard supervision.
