Swimming isn’t just one leg of a triathlon – it’s a discipline that demands precision, technique, and endurance. For triathletes, water isn’t just an element; it’s an arena where skills are tested and refined.

At its core, regular swim training as a triathlete doesn’t require much: a pair of swimming trunks or a swimsuit, suitable swimming goggles and a swimming cap. That’s all it takes to own your laps in the pool and sharpen your technique. The pool becomes a testing ground where body position, breathing, and speed are honed – foundations that can make all the difference in a triathlon.

A wetsuit becomes relevant primarily for open-water training and race day. It comes into play when it’s time to prepare for the open water and its unique challenges. A wetsuit not only keeps you warm but also provides buoyancy and enhanced glide, giving you a performance edge in the open water.
