Swimmingly - a list by Alyson

Options for This Page

About this list:

This summer, the first word in fitness is "intervals." Lap swimming is, bar none, the best low impact way to do high intensity interval-focused training. Not a big fan of the Speedo tan? Not to worry, this summer's suits and accessories are more fetching than ever.

Qualifications:

Refuse to wear dorky Speedos - am addicted to lap swimming

Comme des Garçons for Speedo

First to recommend

Description

See the whole Comme des Garçons for Speedo line at Dover Street Market. I would love to see some swimmer guy rocking the black-and-white bike-short cut at the pool some morning... Nothing like a couture-clad "Good morning!" to make 6:30 a little friendlier.

Grain Surfboards The Waka Fish

First to recommend

Description

Grain = gorgeous... though I haven't seen one of these in the water yet, I covet them. They haven't really made it to the west coast yet in a big way (or to So Cal). But these boards tie into three big trends: retro boardriding is what "all the kids" are into; DIY is getting bigger and bigger (you can get a build-it-yourself version of these boards for a third of the price of the readybuilt ones); green, always a natural fit, is gaining traction in outdoor sports.

Splish Shimmer Swimsuit

Part of the metallic trend or shameless attention-getting ploy for lap swimmers? Either way... YES!

Splish Pink Elephant Swimsuit

First to recommend

Description

I once had a crocodile swimsuit that attained best-suit-ever status. This pink elephant is almost as good. And that's saying something. How could anyone, you or your lane-mates, not smile when confronted with a pink elephant at a sunrise swim? Also, it has peanuts on the bootie. Peanuts!

Stella McCartney Swim Performance Suit

Description

Stella4adidas swim holds a special place in my chlorinated heart. Her suits marry style and function perfectly. And they last pretty well, too.

Swim Fins

First to recommend

Description

If swim you must (moi) then you must swim with fins. They build speed and work those kickers like crazy... which translates to tighter kickers... which we all can appreciate in fishnets.

I love a vintage swimming image. And who doesn't need a wallet that says, "Hey you, dive in!"
