What do you wear under a SwimRun wetsuit?
Under the SwimRun Wetsuit You really need to wear something under your wetsuit, mainly to help prevent chafing when running in wet neoprene. For men, the simplest is a normal swim costume. It could be just classic Speedo briefs, but a lot of men prefer the longer leg style that extends to mid-thigh.
What is a SwimRun wetsuit?
What is a swimrun wetsuit? Swimrun wetsuits have the zipper on the front end of the suit, and sometimes they have two zippers – one in front and one in the back for easy dressing/undressing. It is also nicer to have zipped down in front during running, both for cooling down and the breathing.
Are SwimRun wetsuits warm?
On a SwimRun, the swim is usually cold and the run is hot and sweaty, so it is key to be able to slip in and out of your wetsuit, which you will wear for the entire race, easily and quickly. The wetsuit comes with full length legs so you can choose, and the best cut is above the knee to ease running.

Can you wear nothing under a wetsuit?
Wearing nothing under your wetsuit is totally acceptable, and a matter of personal preference. However, consider these factors: Chafing: Wetsuits can chafe. Give it a try, and wear a swimsuit if it’s uncomfortable.
Can you run in jammers?
They are intended for swimming, biking, and running in, but typically have a much thinner pad that your average cycling shorts. I wouldn’t want to bike or run in jammers, but it can be done. Putting shorts over them would probably just make matters worse on the bike, so if you do it, just wear the jammers.
Do you wear socks in SwimRun?

Hand paddles: Not essential but these will help you. If you do want to race with them you must train with them first and build up your strength endurance (see tip 5).
Can you wear sports bra under wetsuit?
For women you can wear a sports bra and some sort of compression shorts, or you can wear a swimsuit. You do not have to wear a shirt under your wetsuit during the swim if you don’t want to. After you remove your wetsuit you can put on any shirt and shorts to complete the other two legs of the race.
How should a SwimRun wetsuit fit?
A wetsuit needs to fit snugly: if it’s too loose it’ll allow water into the suit that’ll seriously slow you down. If it’s too tight, your swimming experience won’t be pleasant. When trying on in a shop, the suit should feel tight but not restrictive.
What do you wear to Aquathlon?

Can I run in swim shorts?
As long as your shorts are synthetic material (typically polyester, sometimes nylon), you should be able to swim in the shorts (and, usually shirt if you want) in most American public and semi-public pools without running afoul with any rules.
Can you swim with a cut on your hand?
Although swimming with cuts and scrapes is fine if you cover the wound, it’s best not to go swimming when you have larger injuries. Keeping them clean and avoiding infection is vital, and it can be more difficult to do if you have more than a small or superficial wound that’s already starting to heal.
What is a swim run event?
SwimRun is an endurance sport in which you run and swim along a set course of cross country/trail runs and open water swims without stopping in between. SwimRun is quite similar to the sport aquathlon where participants undertake a swim and then transition to a run.
