Sailfish Earplugs

Earplugs are an important, but often overlooked, piece of swimming equipment for both beginners and experienced swimmers. They help keep water out of the ears, which can be crucial for comfort during training and competition – especially for those who suffer from ear problems or ear infections. Earplugs from Arena, Sailfish and TYR are designed specifically for swimming and have a fit that is both snug and comfortable, without being uncomfortable during use. They are typically made of soft silicone or thermoplastic, which molds to the ear and stays in place even during longer swims. For many swimmers, earplugs help increase focus and calm, especially when practicing technique or swimming in noisy environments.

Nose clips are often used by swimmers who want to avoid water getting in their noses during specific exercises such as backstrokes, flip turns or synchronized swimming. A good nose clip effectively prevents water from entering, which allows for better concentration and the ability to hold your breath or control your exhalation more precisely. Nose clips from Arena, Sailfish and TYR are made with a light and flexible frame, often covered with silicone for comfort and non-slip. It is important that the nose clip fits securely without squeezing too much – it should be comfortable, even when you wear it for a long time. Many triathletes and beginners use a nose clip at the beginning to feel more confident, while competitive swimmers typically use it as a technical tool during selected training sessions.

When choosing earplugs, you should consider whether you prefer a universal fit or models that can be individually shaped to fit your ear. The most important thing is that they fit snugly without causing pressure and that they stay in place while swimming. Nose clips should be easy to put on and take off, while also being stable – especially if you are swimming at high intensity or doing turns. After use, both earplugs and nose clips should be rinsed in cold fresh water and air-dried so that they last longer and are not damaged by chlorine or salt water. It is advisable to store them in a small case or in your swimming bag so that they do not get lost or damaged.

Whether you swim for fun, train purposefully, or participate in competitions, earplugs and nose clips from Arena, Sailfish, and TYR can help you improve comfort and concentration in the water – and make your swimming training more effective and enjoyable.
