How to choose your swimming bag: finding the ideal swimming bag

How do I choose between swimming sports bags?

Looking for the best pool bag to carry all your swimming gear? If so, you’ve come to the right place, because in this article we’re going to look at the features of the ideal pool bag for swimmers.

Swimming bags are really useful, especially in the modern era of competitive swimming where swimmers have a ton of equipment to carry, not to mention the post-training snack!

Pool bags make it easy and convenient to carry all our swimming gear. They also help us keep everything organised and safe, while making the world a happier place with their bright, colourful designs.

Sports bags from sports retailers

Not only do swimmers need their swimming backpacks to have spacious storage compartments, they also need to be strong and durable to withstand a combination of heavy use and poolside conditions.

In addition, they need to be comfortable and smart, and versatile enough to be used as a multi-purpose sports bag as well as a swimming bag.

The best swimming backpacks will have enough space for your swimming gear, swimming costume, towel and favourite training aids such as paddles or pads, as well as specialist compartments for items such as goggles, swim caps, water bottles and even your personal electronics such as a smart phone, iPod, tablet or laptop.

Here are some of the key features swimmers should look for when buying a new swim bag:

Separate compartments for wet and dry items

When you go swimming, you’re bound to come out of the pool with wet clothes. You don’t want to mix them in the bag with your dry clothes. A bag with clearly separate compartments will make this separation easier.

Spacious main compartment for training aids and swimming equipment

Swimmers may need a number of accessories of varying sizes, such as a pool buoy, a pair of goggles, paddles and even a board. For this reason, your bag will need to be roomy enough.

Sturdy or rubber base to protect against water

If your bag is left on the edge of a wet pool, it is likely to get wet. That’s why it’s important to choose a bag with a watertight outer bottom.

External pocket for water bottle

Staying hydrated is essential when you’re doing sport, even in the water! Having a pocket for a water bottle is a great feature. And if this pocket is isothermal to keep your drink cool, like the one offered in the Karkoa bags, that will be a very pleasant bonus.

Waterproof bag for storing wet items

For added safety and to avoid leaks in the bag, we recommend using a waterproof bag to store your wet swimming costume and goggles.

Paratransit system

The choice of bag carrying system is very personal. Some swimmers prefer a backpack for its practicality on public transport or on a scooter. But many opt for a shoulder bag, which generally offers greater volume.

Durable, water-resistant material

Finally, the bag should be made from a durable material that is resistant to water and pool humidity.

Choosing the ideal pool bag

Karkoa bags have all these features, making them an ideal choice for swimmers of all levels.
