It's getting cold outside, so get yourself in a nice heated swimming pool...
- Adidas 3S Silicone Cap
Ideal for the follically challenged, this hat will convince passers-by that you’ve got a full head of hair and just forgotten to remove your hat after a swim. At least, that’s what we assume it’s for.

- Kiefer UFO Goggles
One question still bugs us to this day – why did Lara Croft never get sore eyes? She spent loads of time underwater with no goggles. Odd, isn’t it? Anyway, we can’t all be Lara, so these will do a job.

- Speedo Tri-Pro Wetsuit

- Speedo Training Fins
Apparently, these are what David Attenborough uses to blend in with ducks when he’s making his TV shows. Not a documentary maker? Apparently they’re handy for added swimming power as well.
