Swimming accessories for training
Our selection of Swimming Accessories brings together the small equipment for swimmers: paddles Speedo to work on arm strength, nose clips and earplugs Speedo for comfortable swimming, and non-slip Arena Grip swim socks for babies and children.
The small equipment that helps you improve.
Training with Equipment
Club swimmers and regular swimmers use equipment to work on each aspect of swimming separately. The board isolates leg work, the pull-buoy, wedged between the thighs, focuses on the arms, fins strengthen the legs and improve ankle flexibility, and paddles develop arm strength. Other accessories, like the nose clip or earplugs, simply make swimming more comfortable.
The Rest of the Gear

All swimming gear is gathered on the swimming page.
The Paddles
Paddles, like Speedo, attach to the hands with rubber straps: they increase the hand's surface area in the water, forcing the arm and shoulder muscles to work harder. They also improve technique because a poorly positioned hand glides instead of pulling the water. They are used only for part of the session, starting with smaller paddles to avoid overloading the shoulders. They are often combined with the pull-buoy to focus on arm work.
Swimming Comfortably
The nose clip Speedo prevents water from entering the nose, useful for swimmers learning to exhale underwater, in synchronised swimming, or during turns and backstroke. The earplugs Speedo, made of silicone, protect sensitive ears from water and reduce swimmer's ear infections. For toddlers, the swimming socks Arena Grip, which are non-slip, secure steps on wet beaches for baby swimmers and children. Rinse all accessories with clear water after the session.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are swimming paddles for?
They increase the surface of the hand and thus the resistance in the water, which strengthens the arms and shoulders. They also help to correct the hand entry and pulling under the water.
What size paddles should I choose?
Start with paddles that are just slightly larger than the hand to avoid overloading the shoulders. Larger sizes are reserved for trained swimmers, in short sets.
Who is the nose clip useful for?
The nose clip prevents water from entering the nose, useful for swimmers who struggle during turns, backstroke, or artistic swimming. It also helps beginners who haven’t yet mastered nasal exhalation.
How to choose earplugs for swimming?
Mouldable silicone earplugs conform to the ear and block water, recommended in case of repeated ear infections. Pre-formed models, which are easier to put in, are suitable for regular use; rinse them after each session.
Why use non-slip socks for babies at the pool?
They prevent slips on the wet edge of pools when the child is learning to walk and protect the soles of the feet. Soft, Arena Grip socks keep up with baby's swimming activities.
