How to wear a wetsuit
A swimming wetsuit is a special item. They can be hard to get on and uncomfortable and hard to swim in. Hear are a few simple tips for how to put on a swimming wetsuit.
Open Water Swimming Wetsuits
It’s the end of May and the open water swim season is pretty much in full swing! With co-vid restrictions swimming pools are still closed so a lot of people are getting back in to open water or even trying it for the first time and maybe need a wetsuit. Here are some tips on buying a wetsuit.
Open Water Swim – Training Set
Here’s a sample open water swim training set with a bit of technique and bit of work. We did a 60min session about 2600 but the set can be adjusted by making your laps as long or as short as you like. This session is based on a lap approximately 400m long.
Open Water Swimming at Dosthill Quarry
Dosthill Quarry is a hidden little lake not far from Kingsbury. It’s next door to a church and in the middle of a housing estate so it’s hard to believe there’s something beautiful hidden behind the tree’s.
Freedom Swim!!
I’ve been for my first few swims! After 8 weeks of no swimming. I wasn’t sure how I would feel so I’ve just used it as an opportunity to get back in the water and enjoy it!
Club Swimming and Total Immersion
It can be fun to join a group or club swim for lots of reasons so I never tell a swimmer not to join in a group – even if it’s not a Total Immersion style practice.
However, if you’ve been working on your technique and stroke particularly with the Total Immersion method then we don’t want to undo all the changes you’ve made in your stroke by swimming flat out with bad technique in a group session.
