What are the wetsuit test days?
During our wetsuit test days, you’ll have the opportunity to try out different wetsuits in the water yourself, under the guidance of our specialists. We’ll help you with:
- Finding the Right Size and Fit
- Comparing Different Models and Brands
- Experiencing buoyancy, flexibility, and comfort
By testing several wetsuits right one after the other, you'll get a clear sense of which one fits you best. That way, you won't be making a choice based on a hunch in the store, but on actual experience in the water.
What can you expect?
Every swimmer is unique. Your body type, skill level, and swimming style determine which wetsuit is best for you. By testing different wetsuits in the water yourself, you’ll immediately feel what works for you in terms of buoyancy, flexibility, and comfort.
That’s why we look beyond just the size or model—it’s all about how a wetsuit actually feels while you’re swimming.
-
Fit & Size
A wetsuit should fit your body perfectly. We'll help you find the right size so that the suit fits well without being too tight or letting water in.
-
Buoyancy & Position
Each wetsuit offers a different level of buoyancy. During testing, you’ll immediately feel how your body sits in the water and which suit provides the most support.
-
Flexibility & Comfort
Freedom of movement is essential when swimming. You’ll immediately feel which wetsuit supports your stroke and stays comfortable, even over longer distances.
