Episode 9: EXPERT FITTING TIPS
Today, I'm here to share expert fitting tips with you. You may already be wearing your suit, but what steps can you take to ensure it fits perfectly and maximizes performance by that final 5%?
Let's begin with the arms and shoulders. While the length of the suit at the wrist may not be critical, the coverage of neoprene over your shoulders is essential. Ensuring the suit's arm section moves up properly is vital for optimal flexibility in the shoulder area. This aspect is highly significant. Secondly, the suit should fit snugly in the crotch region. If the suit sits too low, it stretches the upper part of the suit, restricting upper body movements. This can lead to quicker fatigue and slower swimming. Thus, it's crucial for the suit to fit tightly in this area.
Lastly, before you start swimming, give your suit a thorough rinse. This not only refreshes it but also allows water to run through the suit. By wiggling a bit and letting water circulate, you ensure the suit fits snugly and perfectly conforms to your individual body shape.
