Zeal Perform Openwater Wetsuit

World Aquatics Approved

This is the perfect wetsuit to wear in official World Aquatics open water competitions, since it is the first suit to be officially certified by the International Swimming Federation.

Maximum Freedom

Thanks to the combination of the most elastic technologies, such as Yamamoto 40+, you can enjoy total freedom of movement during your swimming competitions.

Neutral Buoyancy

The distribution of different thicknesses gives this wetsuit a neutral buoyancy. This allows swimmers with an advanced technique to maintain their natural position in the water.

Zero Interference

Designed and intended for experienced swimmers, this wetsuit will provide you with maximum elasticity and minimum buoyancy, so you won’t feel any restrictions while swimming and so that you reach your maximum potential in the water.

Composition:

Neoprene : 95 %, Polyamide (Nylon) : 5 %

High elasticity materials, create more flexible wetsuits that adapt better to the swimmer’s body than those with less elasticity. Elasticity in the shoulders is essential for efficient swimming without restrictions.

If you’re choosing a wetsuit with less flexibility, you should select a size that fits well to your body. Follow these five points for your perfect fit;

• The suit should fit you snugly around the chest and neck to prevent water from entering and to keep your body at the right temperature.
• The crotch area should fit snugly but not too tightly. If it’s too loose, wrinkles will form that could cause you discomfort and greater resistance when swimming.
• The length of the arms and legs should be correct, ending at your wrists and ankles so as not to interfere with your swimming.
• There must be no gaps between your body and the wetsuit. The gaps let water in, creating extra resistance which will slow you down.

A well-fitting wetsuit improves performance and provides you with greater comfort and safety in the water. Follow the five-point check to find your fit and use the size wetsuit size guide and TRUFIT to check your size.

The suit should fit you snugly in the chest and neck to prevent water from entering and to keep your body at the right temperature. A suit that’s too small could cause a feeling of tightness, making it difficult to breathe and preventing you from moving your body in a way that’s comfortable for you. A suit that’s too big will let water in, which will negatively affect your buoyancy and body temperature.

Elasticity in the shoulders is essential for efficient swimming without restrictions. If the suit is too tight in the shoulders, the material will stretch in excess and will limit your range of movement, meaning you’ll be swimming in discomfort. Test the suit by moving your arms in every direction to make sure you can do so without any limitations. 

The crotch area should fit snugly but not too tightly. If it’s too loose, wrinkles will form that could cause you discomfort and greater resistance when swimming. If it’s too tight, it will pull down from the shoulders, limiting your range of movement and causing discomfort in your upper body area.

The length of the arms and legs should be correct, ending at your wrists and ankles so as not to interfere with your swimming. A suit that’s too short will not significantly affect your performance but a suit that’s too long definitely will. Excess material in the arms and legs can create resistance and can make it more difficult for you to move.
