Swimming in t-shirt in pool with goggles

Required clothing:
T-shirts (both short and long sleeve)

Resistance Swimming for Beginners

    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.

    swim shirts 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.
