Zoggs Pull Buoy: Voted Best on Test by 220 Triathlon MagazinePosted: 18/08/2015Read more >
We were so pleased to see that our Pull Buoy has been voted 220 Triathlon Magazine's 'Best on Test' with a 92% rating this month! Here's what they had to say:
"This pull buoy from Zoggs does away with the traditional 'figure of 8' shape and is thicker where your thighs grip, which makes it easier to hold on to. It's also very buoyant, replicating the feeling of buoyancy you get in the lower part of a tri wetsuit."

Zoggs Swim Diaries: Beginners ButterflyPosted: 03/08/2015Read more >
We had an exhausting but exhilarating swimming class this week learning butterfly. It’s not a stroke we touch upon too frequently, and ordinarily it’s just a small element of a class, but this week, it was all about the fly. At the beginning of the class I was a little bit nervous, but excited too. It’s one of those strokes that is scary but fun at the same time. When done correctly it looks amazing, almost like the swimmer is flying through the water, probably where it got its name!
The class was very tiring, butterfly is an aerobic stroke and also not one that we were used to swimming, so it did feel like a harder class than usual. We di

Rosanna's Sponsored SwimPosted: 22/07/2015Read more >
We were approached about a remarkable little girl called Rosanna Ogden and we just had to share her story! Rosanna is 5 years old, and with a little help from friends and loved ones, is organising a sponsored swim for a UK heart charity.
Rosanna was born with a rare type of tumour called Rhabdomyoma and at just 6 weeks old she underwent heart surgery. We asked Rosanna a few questions about her sponsored swim.
So, why do you love swimming?
Rosanna:It makes me super fast and because it makes me feel happy.
