WETSUIT
What all types of suits have in common is that theykeep you warm and increase your buoyancy. This gives you a better water position, which allows you to swim faster and more energy-efficiently. This is extra important in triathlon as important in triathlon as you want your legs fresh for biking and running. You can choose from several models depending on your experience, technical skills and wallet size. One thing is for sure, swimming in a wetsuit is safer and makes you faster.
UNDER THE SUIT
When it comes to triathlon apparel you generally havetwo options, the tri suit or a two-piece (tri top and tri shorts). Your choice is just a matter of taste - both options work excellently for all types of distances.

Two piece:The two-piece is the most common option- a flexible choice that suits all types of distances.
Suit:The suit is more frequently used for shorter distances where aerodynamics are important.
TIPS
Tri shortsThe shorts should be lightweight andfast-drying. Compression fabric givesgood support to the major muscles ofthe thighs and bottom. The thin cycling pad does not disturb you while running.
Tri topThe top should be lightweight and fast-drying, with a tight and comfortable fit. There are models with or withouta zipper - choose the one a zipper - choose the one you find most comfortable. Easily accessible back pockets enable you to carry energy gels during the race.
Tri suitThe tri suit has the same properties astop and shorts togethetop and shorts together. The difference is that the suit will not gap around your waist, which gives a faster feel. For races where a wetsuit is not allowed, a tri suit is recommended. In this case, there are specific models that are adapt-ed for swimming without a wetsuit.
EQUIPMENT GUIDE TRIATHLON
Race beltIn triathlon your bib number should be facing backward duringthe cycling and forward during the run. A race belt allows you to attach your bib easily and quickly switch between front and back. You can also attach energy gels to the integrated belt loops.
Neo cap / BandanaThe most important body part tokeep warm is your head. A neo cap or bandana allows you to swim in much colder water. Choose a brightly coloured modelfor higher visibilitfor higher visibility.

When it comes to equipment for swimrun, your choice of wetsuit should be the first thing you consider. A suit specially designed for swimrun makes it significantly easier for you to get through your race.

In many swimrun competitions, it’s mandatory to bring certain equipment (eg GPS t(eg GPS transmitter and first aid kit). With this in mind, make sure your swimrun wear has convenient pocket solutions.
Swimrun topThe top should be lightweight and fast-drying. Tight pockets for accessories and energy gels should be positioned to not disturb you during the race.

What’s the difference between a swimrun suit and a regular wetsuit?
Pull buoyThe most common accessory is the Pull Buoy - the lighter the better. It will be your friend throughout the race. The Pull Buoy puts your legs in a high water position, which is extra important when swimming with shoes on. Attach the Pull Buoy around one leg with an elastic band.

PaddlesThe paddles give you higher stroke power and make you swimmore energy-efficiently. Paddles should be lightweight and durable - you want them intact throughout the race. It’s important that you get used to swimming with paddles as they increase stress on the shoulders.
