New wetsuit

I've just purchased a wetsuit for dynamics - mainly for no fins as it's very bouyant! I'm just not in the position to buy a $1000 monofin, and pretty much don't want to go forward with standard dynamics without one at this stage.

So, I'm going to go for no fins - at the moment I've been doing drills after static training to prepare my legs in particular. Anyway, the wetsuit is this one:

With the added ballast due to the bouyancy of the suit, I'm planning on working hard on push offs and turns, once I find some balance and neutral bouyancy.

  1. This wetsuit is awesome. From a push off and 1 stroke with no-fins, I was always just short of 25m. This morning with the suit, 12 packs and some extra ballast I got to 29m. With a bit more packing and more weight I may be able to go even further!

    I still need to get the balance right though

  2. Today I got to 32m from one no fins push off and stroke. Pretty remarkable these suits. I need to seal the sleeves better - my watch does one wrist. No sure what I can do about the neck?
