When you start to swim in clothes for resistance training, you want to slowly build up strength and stamina,
before you move on to he heavier power training.
T-shirts are a popular outfit, easy to swim in,
and give beginners a good idea of what resistance swimming in clothes feels like.
You can simply layer two or more larger T-shirts for added weight.
Get a Feel for the Game
Put a stack of T-shirts in different sizes on pool-side.
For your first swim put on a tight fitting T-shirt.
Swim a few lengths to get used to the feel and the low drag resistance.
Now put on a larger T-shirt and swim several lengths.
Notice how the bigger T-shirt floats differently around you and increases drag resistance.
Next add another, larger T-shirt on top and notice the difference.
