Wetsuit Repair
Wild swimming is essentially swimming outdoors in natural spaces, such as rivers, lakes or the sea. It has seen a surge in popularity in recent years with more and more people taking to the water on a regular basis.
- Dont swim alone - A friend will maximise your safety when wild swimming, and as a bonus it’ll make your swim will be more enjoyable.
- Take care of children - Young children need constant supervision in water and a good quality buoyancy aid is recommended. Lilos should be avoided as they can be blown across open water easily.
Wild Outdoor Swimming - Water safety and how to get started
Wetsuit Repair with Neoprene Queen
Wild – or outdoor – swimming has enjoyed increased popularity in recent years, with more and more people braving the elements and swimming throughout the seasons.
From chilly dips in hidden lagoons to epic lakes and rivers and the sea, outdoor swimming is increasingly popular.
- Is it safe? - By following proper safety measures it can be a fun and enjoyable activity.
- Check the current - Check the waters flow first. Throw in a stick or branch. If it floats off faster than you can swim, you won’t be able to beat the current when returning upstream. Avoid.
- Gauge the depth - If you must dive or jump always check the water is obstacle free and gauge the depth first by getting in and checking it out from the water, not from the side.
- Don’t get too cold - Outdoor swimming spots are often chilly, even in the summer months, so zip yourself up in a wetsuit and work on acclimatising slowly.
- Have an escape plan - Always know and plan your escape routes, in case you get into trouble or need to get out of the water fast.
- Know your algae - Watch out for reeds - Blue-green algae is a slippery and potentially dangerous substance. Weeds and reeds can be annoying but become dangerous if they are very thick.
- Dont stray too far from the shore - Dehydration and excessive strain on muscles can cause cramp, particularly during a long swim.
