• Ear drops
  • Swim Snorkel and fins​
  • You may use any city-approved swimsuit. However, it is easier to swim in form-fitting swimsuits that have less drag.
  • For modesty, you may wear a shirt to cover your swimsuit if you wish.  Short sleeve, tight-fitting shirts are easier to swim in than loose long sleeve shirts.  Any shirt should be a synthetic material NOT cotton which gets very heavy in the water.
  • No swim gear will be allowed that can cover the mouth or nose, or is excessively loose, or heavy when wet.
Below are a few products our staff use that can to improve your swimming experience.  Being warm can make a big difference in your learning experience!  If you are sensitive to the cold, we highly recommend the shorty style wet suits.  FULL DISCLOSURE-- We receive a small commission from these Amazon links.

These can be very useful for learning to breath and imprint 'deep hands' for the perfect pull. (Adult 2 & 3)

Swim fins are smaller than scuba fins because the kick rate is faster. Jim's choice is the Speedo.

Swim snorkels should have an aggressive curved for your best head-low position.

Please refer to this link for attire the city of Irving allows for swim wear and what they do NOT allow (i.e. athletic gear, leotards, gym shorts).​
These water-resistant swim jackets will help you stay extra warm after swim lessons. I like them for non-swimming as well because they are full length and cut the wind!  -Jim
The TYR is Jim's favorite swim suit!  It seems to hold up well in chlorine.
