Summary

A wetsuit is an important investment in both your comfort and performance on race day. Triathlon wetsuits are specifically made to accommodate sustained athletic motion and have hydrodynamic advantages. On today's episode, we'll be taking a deep dive (pun intended) into the world of wetsuits. Jan Sibbersen, the Founder and CEO of sailfish (who also holds the Kona swim course record!) and TriDot Coach Joanna Nami, share everything you need to know about a wetsuit swim. Learn how a wetsuit is made and how to pick the right one for you. They also discuss how to comfortably swim in one and how to care for your wetsuit. A faster and more comfortable swim split awaits you with this information! We are thrilled to have sailfish as the swim partner of TriDot Training.
