Whether diving into a pool, a lake or the ocean, water can help you stay fit and cool this summer. Make the most of your splash time with these recommendations from Drew Porter, Aquatic Director at The Sports Club/LA:
Swim fins:
Unlike large scuba fins, smaller swim fins are manageable in a standard swimming pool. They provide greater surface area around your feet, so they create additional resistance in the water that will get your heart pumping! VJD Pick: Finis® Zoomers Fins.Paddles:
Worn on your hands like gloves, paddles—similar to swim fins—create extra resistance for your arms. Slip them on to feel the burn in your upper body during your next few laps around the pool. VJD Pick: Speedo Training Paddles.Kickboard:
A kickboard is more than just a simple toy. Since it can be held at different angles, you can use it to isolate kicks on all 4 sides of your body—left, right, front, back—which will really tone your legs. VJD Pick: Champion Kickboard.
