My fantasy swim stuff aka Goodies I might need to have. |

As a verified swim geek, it’s not just the actual swimming that I enjoy. I love the STUFF of swimming too. And occasionally, I have fun looking

My new love? The idea of showing up at swim practice in one of these completely fantastic vintage swim caps I found on Etsy.

Nothing would please me more than to show up at Masters practice in one of these beauties, and then knocking out a killer sprint set, blowing my lane mates away with both my fashion savvy and stunning freestyle.

The biggest issue? What color to choose??

The blue and green might be JUST the thing to make my swimming that much better. Look how happy this woman is in her darling cap!

And did I mention that they ship from Spain? So really, that makes them that much chicer.

Need something simpler? Perhaps this gem?

Now might also be a good time for me to admit that my swim obsession may have actually begun because of my insane jealousy of my little cousin’s Barbie swimming pool.

Need I mention that OF COURSE she also had the Barbie dream house, the pink car, and that disembodied head that you could practice hairstyling and make-up with?

I also love this guy. A swimming teacher by artist hélène pé. If only I were half as dashing as he is when I teach.
