Thanks for your tips! I started open water swim one year ago. I've never felt so free and motivated as when I'm swimming in open water. It's one of the best feelings in life 😊

What is the thickness of your wet suit sir? Is 3mm wet suit for my spearfishing isuitable for swimming?

[@thewildswimstore]

Hey there! The wetsuit is the Zone 3 Agile and is made up of a combination of 2mm, 3mm and 4mm panels. We are not too familiar with spearfishing wetsuits. But the wetsuit in this video is made specifically for swimming, including flexi shoulder panels, so makes it easier when swimming in it. We would always advise to use a wetsuit designed for swimming if you are going to swim, as they are more flexible than surfing wetsuits etc :)
