Do I Need A Wetsuit For Open Water Swimming?

- One of the most common questions we get asked at Outdoor Swimmer is, "do I need a wetsuit?" Outdoor swimming can be fun, spontaneous and done with very little kit. If you find a swim spot remote enough, you might not need any swimwear! But, for longer, more adventurous swims or events, a wetsuit is an excellent piece of kit.
A wetsuit is ultimately designed to provide thermal protection when you are wet. Often made from neoprene, open water wetsuits provide the perfect balance of buoyancy, flexibility, and warmth. They are favoured by many swimmers to enable them to swim for longer, faster, in cooler temperatures and can be a safe way to enjoy water with the added buoyancy.
As Zoggs launch a brand-new range of wetsuits, we are thrilled to be working with the brand on a five-part wetsuit guide video series which aims to help swimmers decide how to choose a wetsuit, put one on correctly and care for it so it lasts for many years. We hope you enjoy this first part - an introduction to wetsuits - and stay tuned for the next four parts, which will be released over the coming weeks.
