Premium Swim Wetsuits for Open Water Swimming

Discover our collection of high-performance swim wetsuits, engineered for open water swimmers who demand excellence in every stroke. From training sessions to elite competitions, our wetsuits deliver the warmth, flexibility, and hydrodynamic efficiency you need to perform at your best in the open water.

What Makes a Great Swim Wetsuit?

The best swim wetsuits combine thermal protection with unrestricted mobility. Unlike diving or surfing wetsuits, swimming wetsuits feature ultra-flexible shoulder panels, streamlined cuts, and strategic buoyancy placement that enhances body position without restricting your natural stroke. Premium neoprene construction keeps you warm in water temperatures from 10°C to 18°C, while hydrodynamic seam placement reduces drag for faster swimming.

Choosing the Right Wetsuit Thickness

3mm Swim Wetsuits - Ideal for water temperatures 16°C-20°C, offering maximum flexibility with moderate thermal protection and buoyancy. Perfect for warmer open water swimming and swimmers who generate significant body heat.

4mm-5mm Swim Wetsuits - The most versatile option for UK and European waters (12°C-16°C). Balanced thermal insulation, buoyancy and flexibility make these suits ideal for year-round training and racing.

Key Features of Quality Swimming Wetsuits

Flexible Shoulder Panels - Premium swim wetsuits use thinner, more flexible neoprene across the shoulders and underarms, ensuring unrestricted arm rotation and preventing shoulder fatigue during long swims.

Buoyancy Optimization - Strategic thickness distribution lifts the torso, hips and legs into an efficient swimming position, reducing drag and conserving energy over distance.

Smooth Skin Coating - Hydrodynamic outer coating reduces water resistance, helping you glide through the water with less effort and greater speed.

Reinforced Seams - Glued and blind-stitched or taped seams reduce water entry, maintain flexibility, and ensure durability through countless training sessions.

Comfortable Neck Seal - Secure yet comfortable neck closures prevent water flushing while avoiding restriction or chafing during head rotation.

Wetsuit Care and Maintenance

Extend your wetsuit's lifespan with proper care. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after every ocean swim to remove salt and debris. First dry inside-out before drying the 'right-way round' Store on a wide hanger or over a rail to prevent creasing. With proper maintenance, a quality swim wetsuit will deliver years of reliable performance.

Finding Your Perfect Wetsuit Fit

A properly fitted swim wetsuit should feel snug without restricting breathing or movement. There should be minimal water entry at the neck, wrists, and ankles, but the suit shouldn't cause discomfort or limit shoulder rotation. Swimming wetsuits, are designed for swimming motions—if you feel restriction during arm circles or torso rotation, consider sizing up or trying a different model.
