WETSUITS, SKINSUITS, & OPEN WATER SWIMMING WETSUITS, SKINSUITS, & OPEN WATER SWIMMING

Wetsuits Why a wetsuit? Do I have to wear one? 1) Warmth, 2) Buoyancy, Wetsuits Why a wetsuit? Do I have to wear one? 1) Warmth, 2) Buoyancy, 3) Hydrodynamic properties How do they work? Traps water in between your body and the suit. Creates a layer of insulation. Generally 2 -5 mm in thickness. 5 mm max allowed. Neoprene provides buoyancy (= good body position). Economizes drag. Water must be 78° or below to be “wetsuit legal. ” 78. 1°-83. 9° (USAT), still legal, but cannot win awards. (IRONMAN is 76. 1° and 83. 8°). A good investment for swims >1000 m.

What type / style should I buy? • Full (colder water, most restrictive) • What type / style should I buy? • Full (colder water, most restrictive) • Sleeveless (moderate temp, less restrictive) • Shorty (mild temp, least restrictive, easiest to remove)

Proper Fit Lubricant and plastic bag trick (over feet and hands). Snug but comfortable. Proper Fit Lubricant and plastic bag trick (over feet and hands). Snug but comfortable. Little to no air pockets. Tight on shoulders or crotch – too small. Folds or wrinkles in midsection – too large. Get the smallest size that fits. BTW - the zipper is in back….

Care of wetsuits • Rinse and hang inside-out (on a thick clothes hanger) away Care of wetsuits • Rinse and hang inside-out (on a thick clothes hanger) away from direct sunlight. • Be careful not to tear or puncture (fingernails). • Soak in water after long term storage before wearing. Lubricants • Body Glide, Chamois Butter, Suit Juice, Pam cooking spray • No Petroleum based products (Vaseline, KY, …) Removing the wetsuit • Peel down to waist, roll down to shins. • Step on the suit and pull out each leg. • http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=5 XBis.

Challenges? • Anxiety – Hyperventilating is common! Especially in the first 200 m. • Challenges? • Anxiety – Hyperventilating is common! Especially in the first 200 m. • Colliding with others – disrupts your concentration, lose your goggles. • Navigating (“sighting”) – slows you down, adds to fatigue. Recommendations • Anxiety – Get in a practice swim if possible. Elevate your heart rate BEFORE the swim start! • Colliding with others – Rehearse this battle drill. Go to practice swims. Wear your goggles UNDER your swim cap • Navigating (“sighting”) – This skill must be practiced! Don’t wear yellow or orange tinted goggles.
