There is a wide range of swimming equipment available to help anyone learn to swim or improve their swimming strokes. All buoyancy and floatation aids can be used by non swimmers to gain confidence and by competent swimmers to help improve various aspects of their strokes.



There are many other types of water exercise equipment, water fitness equipment and pool exercise equipment to help all types of water exercises and water aerobics classes.

The most commonly used water exercise equipment are:

arm bands Armbands (sometimes known as Water Wings)

safety ring Safety Rings

floatation suit Buoyancy Suits

kickboard Floats (or Kickboards)

woggle Woggles (sometimes known as Noodles)

pull bouy Pull Buoy

swim fin SwimFin

water shoes Water Shoes

The above swimming aids are mainly used to assist non-swimmers by keeping them afloat. Some can be used as swim training equipment by isolating certain parts of the swimming stroke so the swimmer can focus and train those weaker areas. Click on each one to find out more.

Swimmers and teachers should fully understand the purpose of any given artificial aid before administering its use. The use of the aid must be appropriate to the needs of the swimmer or non-swimmer and the teacher must be familiar with how to use it.
