To the Article "Swimming (sport)" I plan to contribute more knowledge about the sport of swimming in whatever areas I can.

Contribution To 'Swimwear'

Drag Socks

Drag socks (also known as power bags) are mesh material that can be tied around the ankle or lower leg as a form of resistance. This piece of equipment is useful for increasing leg-power and creating a better feel for the water.

Use of drag wear[edit]
Drag suits are used to increase water resistance against the swimmer to help them train for competitions. Other forms of drag wear include nylons, old suits, T-shirts, and power bags: articles that increase friction in the water to build strength during training, and thus increase speed once drag items are removed for competition. Some swimmers practice in basketball shorts over their bathing suit, wearing two bathing suits, or wearing an extra bathing suit with holes cut in the material.
