OPEN WATER
If your primary target is the ice swimming, but your swimming products urgently need an update, then read this!
Open water swimming can also be done completely without any equipment, but with a small purchase of equipment you can make your open water experience much more meaningful and you will be able to spend slightly longer periods of time in the open water.
OPEN WATER EQUIPMENT
✅ Neoprene socks and shoes
To maximize the warming effect on cold toes, a neoprene swimming sock is definitely the best option. The sock should fit as snugly as possible, as the warming effect is based on only a thin layer of water entering the sock, which is then heated by the body.
Shoes are a good option for those who may only need a little insulation when walking on cold ground. Shoes also add warmth in the openwater, at which point they should not be removed, but due to the looser fit of the shoes, water can be exchanged in the shoe, so the warming effect is not as great.
✅ Ice swimming gloves
Neoprene gloves are another thing that many people find makes open water swimming more enjoyable. Just like neoprene socks, the effect of the gloves is based on a thin layer of water heated by the skin. Therefore, it is also necessary to choose a glove that is sufficiently tight.
