Each week, we ask the open water swimming community for their thoughts on a specific topic related to open water swimming. From the length of their longest swim to their scariest open water swimming adventure -- swimmers like you have answered our questions, and we’ve had a lot of fun with this “Ask the Community” series. 

Recently, we asked the swimming community for their favorite piece of swimming technology. Here are the responses we received through Instagram and Facebook:

  • “Paddles -- I can glide real fast.” -- @plantpoweredacupuncturist 

  • “My blueseventy contour goggles #icanseeformilesandmiles.” -- @trimegtri

  • “Audioflood waterproof iPod and headphones.” -- @justin__rich

  • “My Garmin forerunner, so I can track my routes and performance.” -- @walzmusic

  • “The swim buoy 😆 safety first. I never swim without it.” -- @thesidewalkskier 

  • “Form goggles for (the) pool! Garmin watch for open water!” -- Linda Simmons (Facebook)
